congrats on the job ryu, always nice to see a pix member getting paid for years of effort
i do have a few concerns about the tiles thoug, made a quick edit to illustrate some points:
The tree:
- Palette: You chose a very bold palette, personally, i don't think it works too well. It doesn't really match the soft lightning the rockformations suggest, also, the relatively high sat blue, combined w. low sat green, grey/brown and dark blue looks kinda odd (though i guess im pretty conservative on those issues). On the edit i replaced the green and blues by two shades of pure grey (that look brownish combined with the dark blue/purple), defenitly more boring but also much less confusing if you ask me, also, with a starting point like this, it's easier to spice up by editing some colors. I dunno if you intented it too look a bit mossy and weathered with the green, if that's the case i suggest you define areas w. moss more, and mayby add slightly different texture
- Contrast: This is not as much of an issue on the standing trees as it is on the one laying down, but i think it's too evenly shaded. There should be a more distinct definition of shadowed parts/ lighted parts
- Definition: I think you could define texture just a tad more, the very harsh vertical lining doesnøt match the smooth stones
The rocks:
- Colors: Abs. love 'em, smooth and eyepleasing
, did minor changes on the edit, since the grey and purple are pretty much identical in contrast, i darkened the grey and brightned the purple, so they can be utilized more effectively. If tou don't care about saving color though, it doesn't matter much- the colors you chose works very well
- Definition: I really think you've got a problem here espec. on the left side- i've got no clue what's going on, seems to me you didn't define it enough before moving on to more elaborate shading. Also, there's some very strange black inner lining going on on the right side. Some of the places it replaces highlighting wich i really don't get, other places it's used as outline, and looks really harsh - should be replaced by a brighter color. The edit is prob. too conservative and doesn't preservere the original smoothness, never the less, i think you should think more about the stucture of the rock when shading it.
That's about it, again, congrats on the job and good luck with it, ohh and i prefer the right tree over the left because of the greater contrast
EDIT: Ohh yea, i accidently f. up the colors on the unchanged parts of the edit so they aren't representative
