Description

I did this piece for an upcoming film project. It's a depiction of the main characters coming to the entrance of this huge sand castle in the middle of a vast desert. I kept it loose and conceptual, mostly to establish the mood and lighting of the scene. I used Photoshop CS, and a rough 3D model in sketchup to get the perspective. I hope you enjoy it!

the color palette is great... the building and the statues is what captures more my attention.

Excellent colouration and atmosphere. Doesn't look like sand but then again I've never seen a sand castle that big so I may be wrong ;) 9/10

It's a nice painting, with very mystique colours. But is there a larger version available?

The tree on the left and the two branches near the top right corner feel a bit cut off, I'd move the tree to the right (or remove it) and remove the branches for a bit better composition.
The rest it great, though.

The colors are very very beautiful! Great work. :) I especially like your brushstrokes and how you are able to make it look like a painting, even in photoshop!

That's a freaking nice sand castle...those little plastic mold things at the beach definitely don't give you this amount of detail! Hah, great work Nathanial...I'd kinda like to see more detail or dramatization of those creeping vines at the bottom...they look kinda flat..dunno if you can fatten them up a little bit. Just a thought! Great work as always, +10

I love to look at incredible pieces like this--no, not look; lick with my eyeballs--but I hate commenting, 'cause I have nothing intelligent to contribute. So I'll just echo all the enthusiastic adjectives already offered in praise and add that I really enjoy the art nouveau stylings of the castle entrance. Yum!
