Wow - there's so much to appreciate here. Your brushstrokes have an energy to them that brings the image to life. The atmosphere gives the landscape tremendous depth, and one of my favorite parts about this painting is the way you depicted the billowing smoke.

Oh! I remember that from EK!... I was very impressed back then, and still am.

Brilliant landscape -- I like the lighting from the lava and the barren ash-covered ground. The smoke is as I'd said a little too sharp, but I like its solid feel.

thats really good!!
as your oders artworks.

I think perhaps the addition of small dead trees would lend itself to the scale issue. You need to add something the mind recognises in order for it to real measure it.

Other than that it's awesome. Great lighting and texture to the painting.. good job.

I love the light reflexion in the smoke. Very strong. +4

Aargh.. thats so amazing it just hurts
very nice! Is there any chance on you making a tutorial?

I've been trying to digitally paint stuff this realistic for what feels like ages.. but I guess I just suck at painting

thank you for all your comments guys, you made my day! =)
I agree on the crits, will keep that in mind for the next one.

TJVision: I'd be happy to help you out if i can-
just message me or mail me if you want.
I don't think I am anywhere in the position
to write a tutorial though, I am lacking too many basics for that.

i think you should add a burning corpse in the foreground, and make him look disappointed that he is burning, because really who wants to be burning?

great work man!

i cant do this. +5

Its an amazing landscape what else can i say ...bravo!!

stunning work!!

Great work mate! Nice use of colour, it really gives out the Mood.
Yeah I struggle with the scale thing too. Just to give you some helpful tips on scale: i think you could try making the mountain taller and the ground detail smaller. Their are large ground plates that look like cracks on the ground. If you were to see them from the distance you are looking at the mountain it would be smaller than a human foot. ( but would take you weeks to do) You could also try lowering your horizon line to make the background mountains lower than the vocano giving it a more massive appearance...
But again doing fantastic work like yours would take up so much time!
Great work dude!

I really like that one ! Bravo.

Fantastic!

Great work Nex.

Nice to see you post here.

Very amazing work, I love the volcans . Really good done!

throw in some lava flows. that would be cool. maybe a dead tree catchin on fire.

or maybe that volcano in the background should have some smoke and lava spewing out of it. make it look like some waste land. Ever played Heroes of might and magic. Kinda like the wastelands in that.

Very nice work Nex, I like the colour combination and your style

continue with the good work, m8 :>

PS. what is the best set of pen and board ? you call it graphire or something P

Phatness!

Love it, great work.

Your use of plains, contrast and sharpness gives it a lot of credibility and great deapth- (unlike other digitally faded cwap) really nice.

I didn't comment on this? I thought I had.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work. I catch myself staring at this one from time to time. Love it, I truly do.

wowowo *jaw drops* this is sooo wondeful , excellent work, the atmospere certainly rocks!

This is great work! Better work than I could do. You said you were not pleased with the scale in your scene. Here is my suggestions. If you added more atmosphere that faded the distant mountains out and their details. There is alot of smoke in the air from the volcano. This would definitely effect the haze level. Also, if you removed the little sprouts of vegetations in the forground. They are too big for how close they are to the volcano compared to the distance you are trying to show, which makes the volcano feel smaller.

This is one of the best digital scene paintings that I have come across. Brilliant work!

Your digital paintings looks most like oil of all. Verry great work.

It's amazing, it really looks like an oil painting I love the orange flames in contrast to the dark sky and smoke, its beautiful.

wonderful... mood... water moviment.....
wow

Great Great !!!!

Amazing work !

Excellent . . . . The water looks full of dirty ash, great mood . . . .

This is so great, really impressive work!
