That looks really great Hitori. Its nice to see artist's other skills.

The beach and cliff in the middle ground don't work for me and somehow seem out of perspective. Maybe that is because the beach slopes up so much instead of being flatish. One of those things I can't put my finger on but just doesn't seem to sit right. Rest looks great, nice work on all of it.

BTW Evan put my onto a Dylan Cole (Gnomen DVD) about Matt Painting so I bought it and can also highly recommend it (if you don't already have it).

With Kevjon on this one. But maybe if you put the water a little nearer to the cliff it will be fixed, dont know.

Other than that really nice and realistic looking technique!

Looks very impressive so far, though I have to agree about the perspective. It feels like the image is domed outwards slightly when I look at it - like a large sphere is being pressed into the back of it... its very subtle but just enough to throw it off slightly... keep up the good work though, I'm looking forward to seeing this progress.
