The Snowy Mountain

Inspired by the snowy mountains I saw driving to Provo from Bountiful. Give me some feedbacks please. :) I can't quite settle on what feels off. I think I need to move the guy to the right. Let me know your first impressions. How can I improve this?

  1. I really like it a lot. However, the guy looks kind of like a robot or stone? So maybe a little less block like or something in the figure, but that is if you want to be a huge perfectionist. I think it is awesome!!! :) Love the mountains!

    1. Hey thanks for the feedback. :) Ya he is a little bit stone-like. I think i might like that feel for him though. I'll have to think about it. thanks for bringing it up.

    2. I'd say to keep the man the way he is. I would try cutting out the rock on the right. It's distracting. Just at that I feel it's fixed. :-) Maybe consider some more cloud to the sky. That may be pretty cool.

      AWESOME work, by the way! I love the way that effect is trailing off. I can't wait to see more from you!

  2. My imagination wants to explore that building on the mountain more. maybe develop your idea for that building a little further, and you have yourself a story! (: Also, the end of the wisps coming off the dude make a tangent with the tops of the mountains!

    I like the values alot. And the rosy color on the halftone of the mountain is really great.

    1. Kim! :) Thanks! Ya, more story would definitely help. Where is that tangent? Down by his feet? or the end of the whole whisp? so I'm trying (not very successfully) make it look as though his trail of smoke is coming from or to the building. Alyssa gave some great advice with that as far as making it fade out toward the building. Any other pointers?

  3. What if you cut off the rock that goes up the right side? Whatever you do, don't change it too much - it's beautiful :)

    1. Ya that side is a bit distracting, huh? maybe i should move the guy over. I just don't want people to wander off that side. Thanks for pointing that out.

  4. Yeah, the rock to the side is the same height as the guy. Also, his legs look short compared to his torso, unless you were going for that. Looks way cool though.
