Makes me wanna play Mass Effect..

I haven't tried that game yet. My sister might be buying it so maybe I'll give it a go then! =P

Good idea.

Stunning, your backdrops are gorgeous. =3

Thank you! ^^

Sweet! Awesome interplay of light, shadow, and texture... gives it a lot of dimensionality.

Thanks! That's my favorite thing about painting mountains. You can mold them at will with just a few strokes of the brush. ^^

i really like how the light reflects on the mountains! amazing!

Thank you!

Very nice. I love the mountains in the background and the cliff in the foreground. Not a huge fan of the lake but still looks pretty nice.

I think the one thing that throws me off is the dark sky. You've indicated a bit of green light on the top right of the picture, but the mountains and landscape seem lit by something brighter. Maybe a brighter light source might fix this?

Again, great work. You're improving a lot on your technique already!

The reason the sky is dark was at first, I was imagining having a cloud deck back there. You know how when you look at a storm coming on the prairie, you'll have bright land but the sky will be a dark pale blue. (provided the sun isn't blocked of course) That's what I went for at first, but then it ended up not reading quite like that. =P I see where you're coming from though.

Thanks!

I absolutely love the way you manage to throw in different colours to shade things. I can barely get darker and lighter tones to work well together XD

It all comes with practice. ^^

Hmhmm, I'm starting to like my own results too, but have no intention on stopping here! ^^

very nice!

I love the color of the sky O_O

Thanks! ^^ I like how it came out too. Kind of an original sky for me.

Gorgeous speedpaint

I wish I could do things like this :3

Reminds me of some of the landscapes in the game Black and White

I was going to say that this puts me in mind of some of my favorite moments of exploring in the original Mass Effect, but I notice you already got a similar comment and I don't want to betray how much I like the originality of this lovely landscape! Out of all the ones I favorited not so long ago I was waiting til last to fave this one so I could gawk at it for a bit in my favorites. I absolutely love the look of this! The quietness of it, the rampant greenery unburdened by structure, the craggy rocky surrounds. This is a top notch scene to be sure! A great job and well deserved of the fave!!!
