No flaming necessary, that is quite spectaular, really.

It's refreshing to see a different subject medium being used now and again other than the typical game/monster-related stuff.

Nice work bro.

I like the pic, Leo.

Somehow, portions of the clouds don't seem right, however I somehow think that also works out to be positive. Weirdness.

Really really cool! I'm looking forward to seeing your cloud tutor

Kindred: what portions of the clouds do you mean?

Awesome pic man!
There's just one thing that doesn't seem right to me, the clouds in the forground. They look to solid and blurry to be realistic, but i love the rest!

Clouds come in many shape and forms. Personally, I don't ever remember seeing a sharp and crisp cloud. I think the whole picture is great and and everything looks good.

Very nice pic. Well done. However, I must agree that the clouds shouldnt be so solid in front. Maybe a little bit of transperency since we are pretty close to the clouds and there is quite a bit of light coming out at us. I really dont know. I am not one who has a right to critique.

Aha, now we've find the weak point of the image. Yes, clouds aren't so sharp and crisp as chrisk82 noticed. Teufel, you are right about solid and transparency... i'll try to fix it.
Your piece of wisdom guys, will be very useful for the tutorial that i'm working right now.

great work leo, i love the light on the water and on the background clouds. my only suggestion is that the midground clouds seem a little too solid (as mentioned), but also too "puffy".. a little too big, it seems as if they should be misty-type clouds drifting over a lake or the kind caught in valleys, instead they seem more like the cumulonimbus clouds usually found at higher atmosphere levels.. i think it works fine as it is on the sides, but towards the middle of the picture above the lake there is a pretty solid chunk that could perhaps be tweaked.. other than that, schhwweeeet!

Man, Leo, I love that pic just how it is... I think that is the clouds were more transparent, the feeling of depth that it has now would be lost... That pic rules.

Hey, nice pic! I say leave it like it is... it's got your own style to it. I love the vibrant colors of the sun and sky. I agree with Tinusch, maybe a little transparency in the clouds could help

Ooohh... Fantastic work!

The castle in the middle-ground is the perfect touch. I used to paint sunsets all the time, in real oil paint.. I never could get nice looking foreground clouds like yours.. also, the colors I chose usually ended up looking more like nuclear winter than a pretty sunset. Job well done.

LeChuck · Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2000 8:43 pm

Oooo, Ahhhh, Ohhhh!
Cool colors dude.
Two thumbs up.

Who am I to turn down an free ivitation.

That is the worst pice of trash I have ever seen! You must be a dirt licking shit eating mother fucking pussy if you think that this bird cage lineing is good enough for this board!!!!!! GO TO HELL AND BURN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!! I have seen kindergardeners finger paint better than that. In fact I printed your picture just so I could wipe my dirty asshole clean with it!!!

Geeez, settle down people. Havent you ever heard of sarcasm.

Cool.
I like the sun a LOT. It's very very bright and cool, uh, hot.
The overall feel of the picture is extremely good, and it is a very balanced whole. Good work.
