The concept seems interesting, but at first I had trouble to stay concentrated on the demons and what was going on the front, instead I couldn’t keep mine eyes from the mountains, probably because they are so opaque (if that makes any sense) :confused:

makes alot of sense--ill keep that in mind-desaturate background---i def want the focus on the foreground

thanx---ty

well the first thing that comes to my mind is the rule of atmosphere - it just often seems to make sense in situations like these - where everything is right with the perspective lines, etc... the further something is away from where the image begins, dives deeper into greyer tones and duller colors. what ever is closest to you will have the greatest contrast between darks and lights - and will have the strongest colors (this is just what you will observe most often in life - like landscapes... ;) your use of black as well as some of the reds that are too similar in the volcanoes and up front make it look 2 dimensional -

mfg;)

ty, the volcanos in the back are all the same height, i think it would look better if you broke up the space alittle, make some higher and some lower. and the background looks alittle too sharp, to creative the illusion of depth, i think you should bur and lighten the color alittle

let's see how the paintings look, update update update! :bash:
