i have repainted the man and put in alot of extra detail that you cant really see at this res.
also playing with the idea of grass a little more and a little better than before…
ive thought of an idea to fix the unbalance of the mountain on the right of the picture…it has to do with some subtle cropping wich actually works a treat…ill save that fr one of my final updates…
still 12 days to go and also alot of details of the painting…
also recently ive fixed up most of the maze so it looks alot cleaner…also you cant see that in this image…
anyway…
more painting time…

It’s a great pic Ciberone, I love the skeleton in the bottom right, it adds a bit of terror to the athmosphere. (click on the image for a larger res and then zoom in to 200%)
You’ll be finished soon… and a winner too

looks very cool so far. i like the warm area in the foreground. perhaps you could cool the labyrinth in the distance a bit down and add some fog, to enhance atmospheric perspective?
About one third from above are two areas that are too dark compared to the areas that are closer to the viewer. Hope that makes sense.
Looking forward to the finished piece

looks wonderful, but I agree with someone on this forum, add some fog to make it more mysterious…ever see the latest Harry Potter? with the maze? totally fogged up and it looked way cool…but this is greatly drawn!

hey man if i can suggest some light and shadow on the top of the maze to add to the interest of the image. and more contrast on the close rock thing would also help allot. anyways good stuff

Looking sick dude.
One thing: the horizon mountains fade off and leave that block of space open on the left; it’s a little distracting. Other than that, after all you’ve said (and the late-night talks I’ve been having with the ninja cabal what spies on your bedroom), I think you’re nailing what you set out to accomplish.
Good luck in the final phase!

duuUUuuuude!! you may win this thing or you may not,but know this…in my opinion I think that your piece is the best one I’ve seen in this challenge dude,If it was like in a acnvas n stuff I’d like hang it on my wall or something!! I’m serious and I swear I’m not saying that just to be nice…I like things that are definitive and …simple yet effective…designs that don’t have any extra unneeeded details …y’know?
good work man and please come check out my work.
All the best

Great concept.:bowdown: Despite the foreboding qualities, I want to go in there and explore the maze. I personally like the mystery to the image. It offers up questions like, who built it and where does it lead to. Good luck with the judges.
