A birthday gift for a dear friend. :)
You can check out the WIPs in my previous two posts to see what and how changes during the process. Here the setup was solid enough so I didn't change a lot in the overall look but I think every hour spent on detailing made a difference.
See you soon with more!

Ah np~ :)
The change in linear foreground to painterly background really flattens out the piece.
There are instances where this contrast would be appropriate --- if say this was a cover on a graphic novel where the foreground is the typical rendering method (and the distance in this instance would be the visual communication of the 'promise' of rich story and thrilling adventure).
However, as it is the lines flatten the volume and really don't service the rich atmospheric perspective you've developed. I see it is because you want to lead the eyes to the mountain, and perhaps needed to shave some time off the illustration process, but stronger contrast of value or color would do the same without interrupting the unity and harmony of the visual. i.e. using muted red-browns instead of naples yellow in the foreground and keeping a cooler color pallet with more contrast in the bg. to pull focus.
I like both the line quality and the painterly loose details of the mountain range. I just did a quick filter/paintover- lmk when u see it so i can take it down. here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37843456/

You are a wonderful master landscape artist. This is breathtaking.The mountain looks like reaching through the clouds and piercing right through them. The rock texture is aged yet soft coloured. The waterfall gives a perspective to scale of this impressive king. I like how you've even go the spray from the water as it empties into the lake leading to the stream. The lighting and colouring are amazing. AGAIN BREATHTAKING⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
