Not in Kansas Anymore (WIP)

Description

This is an exterior environment concept (one that I haven't done in a long time). The challenge was to come up with a concept for either:

-Japanese Garden
-Wrecked Battleship in Jungle
-Cityscape of Future
-Great Castle of War Lord

My challenge was to try and create something that fit as many of those together as possible. I may take it further, I may not. I do think I enjoy painting environments more and more. So stay tuned for more. Enjoy!

Please do not use my art work without my permission. Thanks!

Gorgeous render work. :nod: I really love the warlord castle looming in the back, hinting at a great journey to come for our hero.

If I may critique a little, you did a nice job stylistically integrating the four different concepts, but they're a little too equally sized visually. The key to dynamic illustrations is to have a strong focal point; this can also be done with the right lighting. I think you could lower the waterfall's brightness and increase it on the crashed ship (which will make the hero stand out more). It's a quick fix to a piece that shows real skill. :nod:
