OK, this is only my second image made with my Wacom, so I'm still getting a feel for it. Let me know what you think, mainly the water. I want to add something in the foreground, but I don't know what. Any ideas?

So what, does it suck?

I know it's a little plain.

how about a big ass fish just under the water done in the same style as the rest of the pic......The idea comes to me from a book i have of M.C.Escher drawings....
nice work though

Cool the colours in the sky a bit, to make it recede into the background. The arc of light above the horizon also seems rather exaggerated. I realize this is just a quick test, so I won't put too many crits for now. However, my personal preference is for a more refined look, so I'd suggest you model the land-masses more, and don't use pure black--it looks fake & contrived. Smooth out the brushstrokes...dim the black...mute the sky...Yes. Can't think of anything else for now. Late/early. Don't feel good. Got to go to work. Good luck with the Wacom, though. And above all, have fun.

Nice moody image... I agree with socar... your skycolors look a bit too arced.. you should straiughten them out a bit... what also caught my eyes is that your horizon is not straight.. you might work on that.

A big fish in the foreground would look nice but its also difficult... you might try a pole sticking out of the water with some waterplants or something.... anyway. keep up the good work!
