Remove the lady and work on the tree _and_ you will have a superb moodpicture :))) I know an artist (Navitrolla), he is not very well known but you guys have almost the same style and color.
About the lady - well the anatomy looks off in most places like her bum, shoulders and tummy for instance - perspective is missing - i can see you have wanted to draw attention to her head but you cant really do without heavy shadows there - considering the sharp shadow from her body on the tree. As to that shadow - it cant be that sharp - and anywhoo it does not go with that style IMO. I dunno what tree that is (what tree is it, tell us :), can the bark rly look liek that?
But... i would not comment if i didnt like :) So - nice feeling with the light purple hills. Reminded me of something.
Good luck!

this is really nice! i love the clouds and the scenery.. the girl isnt bad by itself, it doesnt have to be extra realistic to be impressive to me.

Thanks for the comments! :)

I actually thought about removing her but it felt like such a waste because i had spent so much time on here. I must say i´m pretty happy with the result even though the anatomy is off. Thats something i have to work on though. And for the tree, well ...i just got lazy, maybe i repaint it someday.

first of all great job I really like how you handled the clouds I'm rather new here so I thought I should begin commenting and well I hope you don't take offense just poped it into opencanvas for a quick min tweak to explain my crit like it was mentioned before me I have some problems with the girls anatomy her but seems to stick out to much because it apears her leg (nereast to us) is going toward the viewer also their is something troubleling about the torso the chest and torso seem to describe an uncomfortable or contradictory movement of the body, perhaps the belly button should be moved more to the center, The lion is a problem with perspective, in a flat plain the horizon line will cut across anything standing relative to the size of the figure no mater the distance from the pov, so if the horizon crosses the girl at the waist and we guesstimate the lion to be about said height you need to move the lion to intersect the horizon line at apropriate point.. Once again I really like your picture sorry If I'm not the best at describing yet hope this was helpfull like I said I did a really quick min. change with my wacom to illustrate hope you don't mind

Thank you vctr! I understand what you are saying about the perspective. I can see it clearly now. Thanks for the other pointers as well.

I compared your paintover with the original and didn´t see any changes? I think you linked the wrong one. I would really like to see the it so please try again.
