Here is a mountain-scape i had been working on. I am trying to go for more realism but i still cant seem to get it (specially the clouds). Drawn in PS7.
Back to the grind...  |

Hey, it looks good.
I like the colors you've used. And I think the mountains are very well done.
The foreground could use some more detail, though, to give a wider perspective, so it is less flat.
I agree with the clouds, they don't mix with the rest right now. My advice would be to look to some clouds in real life, or in a photo. That can help you greatly.

Ditto to both Ragnarok's comments. To achieve that feeling of a great expanse of space, it can help to have some sharp details in the foreground that become less defined as you move back in space. Another thing is if you take this approach you may want to seriously lighten the contrast on the mountains as this will also counteract that feeling of depth. Contrast always lessens as you move back in space because you're looking through more and more atmosphere. You can still make the mountains a focal point by using your sunrise or the colors you choose to draw the eye back there.
