Hey that's pretty good I like it a lot. Maybe you won't like me for what I'm going to say, but I think the sky looks a bit flat. Maybe adding a subtle gradient from that blue to white would change that. As well, the moutaint at the right is strange. The rendering is perfect, but it seems to be too close somehow. Since there are clouds around it, it must be quite high, but it doesn't seem to be that far away. Anyway, just my opinion ;P Quite excellent overall if you ask me !

I'm a sucker for details in CG work... and this is beautiful! I love the stone with the carving.

What resolution is the original?
...and how long did you spend on it?

This is really cool stuff Gordillo! The vegetation is very nicely done.
If there was one complaint I'd have to make it's the sense of scale. The lack of... The depth appears a bit.. compressed. I think it's partially due to the relation of the figures to the landscape.
Other than that.. a job well done!

Awesome picture. I agree with what danny said about depth and scale....higher mountains and lower valleys could be good, so that you get more of that "what's beyond that hill?"-atmosphere.

Holy shit. I have not crits at all, but I do have a useful tip something along the lines of Magpie's.

"Don't eat yellow snow".

This has helped me much in life. I can't tell you how many times I just about ate yellow snow. But I didn't! Why? Because I kept this helpful hint in mind. Hold it close to your heart.
