Scene I did for the October Noob Challenge, wanted to get some critiques on this before I put it in my portfolio. Thank you

I like it but a little bit of ground fog in this scene would go a long way, and more colour variation in the red awning to darken it up a bit would be a nice touch

things that seem off or missing
-dirt, more so pebbles or stones etc
-the cinder blocks are way too clean and really stand out because of it
-the wires/ropes on the telephone poles and how they connect... they seem to just go through as if a hole was drilled in each one which I've never seen be the case
-the chimneys need some love and to not be just grey

Ive had more time to work on this, updated it a bit with some of the suggestions. Thanks CandyStripe05.

That cloth normal map is incredible!

CandyStripes05

solid improvement my friend!

the chimney and smoke still look odd, chimney due to the texture and maybe try making the smoke more subtle or have it fade over time and then increase its height so it fit more gradually into the scene

only other thing I can think of would be to add more yellow/orange into the grass/leaves to make it feel more like fall/Halloween would tie in nicely with the pumpkins

Yeah the chimney does look odd still, I think its because of the type of foundation in its on. I tried to look for reference for plaster covered chimneys, but they still reside on the wood planks. At least that's how it looks in the reference.

Cool scene. What material is that cloth suppose to be

theonewhoknocks

red burlap. I might lower the spec on it a bit though. Its looking a little to wet and shiny for me.
