Vastroslav - Thanks very much, I guess I’m very much a child of the seventies and eighties myself 
Gerardo - Lol, I was gonna mention frog licking in my little story line but I thought it was pretty self explanitory
Thanks for your suggestions throughout they’ve been really helpful. One more update and I’ll give it a rest

Hi Pearlyking
Very fun concept. Good colours, above all the alien bug texture. I like it a lot.
Best wishes for you.
awesome! really nice color palette ,the green dude is just perfect! all the small changes in saturation makes the image betterit’ s really almost done…if i can suggest will be justa bit of hazy brightness in the far horizon sky and mountain just under the orange shirt dude…bt justa bit goin to the color u have in the highlights of the rock …anyway very very good!
Story: They say the cloud bugs of Ross 154 excrete a potent hallucinogen if you stimulated their tentacles for any prolonged amount of time. I guess that’s why gas-riders have the highest mortality rate in the ‘extreme’ sports groups
Background: I guess I have a cynical view of humanity. Once I had thought about an alien enviroment and the creatures that live there I only had to think about how we would exploit that!
Update: Detailed the right hand rocks and added a little haze behing them to finish.
Hey, how about adding some spectators running along the path down there to watch? This way, we could have some cool depth of field using the humans as a visual aid, from foreground to background.
Some of them could be climbing up the rock mounds to join in the fun as well. We still have plenty of time left! 
Iban - Thanks v much 
Matthieu - Thanks very much. I followed your suggestion slightly whilst I was refining the rocks on the right. I think it does help the overall perception.
Jerome - I really like your suggestion. I kinda did the perspective without guides so I will try it out and see if it works. It may well be that this isn’t the last picture, but I will be taking a break from it for a little while
Thanks for your input 
Mark - Thankyou so much 
Antone - Thanks, I really appreciate your words

And sorry for dropping by to your thread so late! :sad:
WOW! When i look the very first time at your image (5 mins ago)…i asked myself what damn meaning have that cool scene…
Something reminds me some sort of extreme experience…then i read the story…
in one word…great.
After reading i felt that “already” a good idea makes good images…
ur stuff are well designed and very well coloured also.
COol coOL StufF!
Mathieu - Thanks very much, I guess trippy is the perfect description 
Axel - Thankyou I very much appreciate your words 
Fabio - I’m really glad you like my idea and my rendering
Thanks, it’s most appreciated.
Really nice!! I love the concept and the excecution is great too. You 2d guys are making me wonder why I am bothering with all this 3D nonsense.
This is such a fantastic image, not only I do love the concept, but also the colour choice and composition. It has a real classic Sci -fi illustation look about it, it reminds me of the golden age of sci-fi illustation (the 70’s). Superb!![]()
