wasn’t able to visit my own thread the whole weekend, christmas is coming and everyone goes crazy …
thanks for your replys, guys!
hi ago-stino
i think you got me wrong… i meant, when i submit a new milestone, there are a bunch of different options i can choose from. everything clear so far, except the option -3d challenge- (the first option of the dropdown). don’t know what this is for… but i don’t care 
yes, lotaH, you’re right. but it’s more a question of shading, i will put a lot of snow on these mountains and they will become brighter. in this test-rendering i just have a default-grey material on them…
and thanks turbinea and Guimetz, this helps a lot, i will take your suggestions into account, you’re absolutely right. this happens when you look too long into your own pictures…
TheGreat, thanks for your kind works. i think the most important thing in every artform is passion and love. if your love what you’re doing, you will be willing to learn as much as you can about the craft, what will make you a great artist. just my opinion, and i think i’m just at the beginning of the road, compared to a overwhelming amount of great artist on this forum…
