Welcome to the mattepainting forum Nicolas :smiley:
That is some nice WIP there :slight_smile:
Your next step should be just taking a look at your lighting. Especially the warm and cool light mismatch currently present throughout your image
Try to balance it more to bring everything into the same world

Nice!

Maybe try it with a sky that’s not as blown out?

Composition-wise my eye keeps hitting that lone dark peak piercing the lower clouds. There’s nothing else like it around so my eyes keep thinking it’s very significant somehow… maybe try incorporating more peaks or rocks of that type throughout so it doesn’t take over so strongly…or mist it out a little more since it’s so close to those clouds…something to try?

It’s getting better! One thing that still sticks out to me is RHS fg peak jutting out. It feels like it’s next to the LHS fg elements, which are so much stronger in contrast. But the peak is not the same level of contrast. Maybe push that peak back in space more and a little to the right, to give kind of a curve to the RHS mountain range. Also the yellow on the bg mountains feel a bit out of place, I think you should match the color more to the orange/pink in the sky. Very nice!! Just a few more tweaks :slight_smile:

Hola Cordobez !

For me, as Semma said, just stick that FG peak on the right, and adjust the contrast so it fits the palace.
Great image gongratz !
