Chill Pill's thread - critique very welcomed

Chill_Pill

Hi there,

A little bit about me, I'm starting out in the industry of concept art after switching career 2 years ago. I trained at home during this time, thanks to forums like this one, FZD or levelup, and I got my first gigs last summer. If you're curious, here's my artstation.

I'll be posting mostly WIPs. Whenever I feel stuck I like to ask around for some piece of advice. Anyway, here's the fromage, cheers and have a good day

Here I feel like I didn't capture the light acurately on the characters. They look flat, don't they ?

I'm so tired with this one, I spent a couple of nights on it and I'm not getting anywhere. My main issue here is the foreground and overall clarity, I think. Any idea ?

I like that one. What do you want to explain with that piece? It has atmosphere, but if you'd rather show some specific detail I'd bring that lit region in the background closer to the viewer -- there are some interesting details there, like what looks like a statue at the end of the bridge?

Thanks for your feedback ! Yep it's exactly that, some sort of a statue at the end of a broken bridge. Maybe I pushed it too far away, I know what you mean. Cheers
