Wow, Duracel - I love it!!!

What a improvement compared to your pictures on your webside. RESPECT!

Great colors, love your "fluid" brushstrokes! :chug:

I like this a lot, especially the large version. There's something about it that reminds me of traditional Chinese watercolors, but with a modern twist.

Nice work!

[gekitsu]

wow dura, not bad.

the water is great, ovwrall impression is a bit too overworked for my taste.
one can still see the ross inspiration, if one knows. ;)
in your pic, i can at least imagine that there are lots of little critters living with their friends and the clouds really look as if they had a good time ;)

i'm not too sure about the larger trees - with the dark rocky mass to the right, they are placed like a half circle. maybe a lil bit more irregularity woulds have done good.

ah, that's all nitpicky.

wow the detail u put in this is amazing, it must have taken you forever :)

[sparth]

very nice duracel.
the background right mountain is very nice. snowy parts...

a very dreamy image.

[darkcult]

Beautiful,
honestly.

:chug:

damn, duracel, this is a great piece...great water effect, great mountain, great trees....
amazing, really!
how was it done, by the way?

[Roam]

Nice, only problem I have is with the overly bright highlight thingies (vines?) in the trees, in the large version it makes them look like they were pumped up with silly string or something.

[Duracel]

Thx all! :)

@Gekitsu, yep, a bit overworked and the circle-point about those trees, damn right.
@Roam, well, im really not happy with the values of those midground-trees.
Next time it will look better, im sure. :)

@enoc .. it took me about 8 hours or so, dunno exact, but between 5-10h.

@sepulveda, its painted in photoshop. Used a lot of custombrushes. The water is painted just with a 10%roundness-standardbrush.

The tiger draws the eye away from the horizon. Animal kinda clashes with natural beauty.

[keyth]

yo duracel...this is awesome man....it's nice to see a pic like this after getting to know you a bit in the self-p section. great job mate!!!

I love the smaller version, all the lines and sketchiness congeal into a really great piece in that one. No Ref used? Holy shit then you really nailed the colors and look of the water.:beer:

Really nice!

I love the brushes, they make the trees look wet and the jungle alive...
