Ok, finally got the worst detail work done, the trees (never again) :P

I still haven't figured out what to do to make the picture more interesting as far as adding a character or something. The idea was to draw a forest though so maybe I should just stick with that? I don't know, anyway here it is.

some ruins... like big stone heads or something?

Doh, my last picture had a stone head in it.. More ideas?

You could put a lizard crawling up the log.

A gold building behind the haze in the background? Something with some reflective surfaces but not to big?

Put a little roundeyed girl sitting on the log next to the large leaves on the right, dangling her legs in the thick mist lying over the water (?)

when i see the picture, I automatically think lizard on the log. So that'd work.. but has been done a thousand times (by the way nice picture so far)... I don't know why but I keep thinking monkey.

I think you should do an alien like animal just out in the haze, and that the viewer is like observing it from a distance. Kinda like a discovery channel doco.

I'll have to go with Mr.T on this one.
Big mystical stoneheads from an ancient culture..alien or not

I also think it would add to the image if you could manage to squeeze in some colder colours...
Excellent work!

I like it with out anyother objects. I think it would be best done by adding more vegitation creating neat lighting effects.
just a thought.

Stone monument, megolith, statue...not fully visable.
Midground.
Partially obscured by mist.
(Stone bird, rising outstretched wings upon totem like piller?)

how in the hell did you make that foliage... that's damn eye-popping.

heh. i know you said "never again" but i'd be REALLY interested in how you achieved that realism

I painted the silouettes of the leaves and filled them with gradients. Then I just went over each leaf by hand to give it some volume and shape.

brainstormin'-here are some ideas...
- a demolished industrial complex and a few dinosaurs around it?

- skulls on sticks
- lizard on a log and a guy with a spear trying to get himself a lunch
- weird contours of temples or something in the background
- a heavy metal concert

. that would definitely add to dynamics of the picture
