Worked on another environment piece. Close to done but good enough for a crit. Feel free to nit pick.

Only "crit" i got is that the shadows feel desaturated in comparison to the warmer tones. This gives it somewhat of a faded oil painting feel, if that's what you're going for.
The foreground middle bit seems to be floating some too because of this, there's not enough transition from foreground to background and it falls apart a bit there.
You could probably fix it easily by slapping a moat in between the foreground hills and castle to create that divide.

Thanks Meat, good ideas. Wasn't too happy with the middle ground.

Sorry Eddie probably no time lapse, only want to work on this for so long :p

The main purple stripe in the background feels too "forward" to my eye, like it's not "behind" the tower but on the same level with it.  I feel like it's too bright or something.  I know typically lighter colors "come forward" and darker ones "move back" so maybe that's it.  I'm not a color wizard or anything, but those are my initial impressions.

That said, I absolutely love the colors in this.

thanks, I think you're right on that. Might be too saturated.
