Nice concept and composition man, the only thing is that I feel the ambient too cold even thought there is lava, I don't know if that was your intention but it seems somewhat off to me, maybe makes sense if the shoot were outside like a tall mountain(?) but because of the stalagmites I suppose it's inside of a cave or something, and nice use of textures, maybe too much in the center background (maybe paint over it just a bit so doesn't look like a photo).

And really looking forward for more work from you man, very inspiring :)

Thanks bud!
Yeah i wanted to capture an atmosphere and realism while playing with ambience and atmospheric perspective. Although a lot of it looks like it's lava, i was going for an ashy look, hence the title. I agree that it doesn't translate too well.

For the guy below... I think his perspective of the piece is different..

He's trying to say it looks like the rock formations are flying because of the greyish color around it, making it look like the sky, not the ground.
IMO i think it's just the colors and that "splat" that make it seem that way, but yeah that's why he gave it a four.. I think.. lol xD
I really like the planet and the lava, I think it's cool how you draw water and liquids and such.

ashes to ashes ^^

its an okay pic, but those flying islands or rocks or whatever freaks me off a little bit... i know that they arent flying, but it looks like it... therefore 4/5

YakovlevArt responds:

Hmmmm... Interesting point, but i don't really know what you mean, lol. If you could offer a solution your review would be a lot better.
