Looks nice, but my opinnion is that you're image is divided into three styles whitch is not a bad thing if mixed together. In this case the image has two horizon lines and the fact that the middle part is alot more detailed is making it look uncosistent.... maybee try doing a depth of field look.........blur the front and keep the sharpness in the middle part.... and I would suggest doing the clouds like you did the middle part of the drawing...clouds (for the most part ) also have texture.

It's a good start.... an I like the style you used for teh two front mountains. Cool stuff! ;)

So i tried to do a bit of what you said - the clouds still stink - but its a little better.

looks better, good progress......
umm, the clouds are looking better, however clowds have a horizon line a little higher from the ground ( the angle of the image suggests it). Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

just to add to that, I think that in general, clouds kind of exist in planes, and so when you draw them, you should think about what angle you're seeing the cloud plane from, perspective applies everywhere. ;)

Thanks guys - i think i might retire this picture because its somewhat ugly - but I will definately be thinking about that when i make my next scene
