Most interesting. This review comes from a person who has only seen "Avatar", like, once, and because of that is hardly fandom-savvy. I hope it will provide encouragement to create more as having a completely "green" person enjoy one's rather hermetic work is quite rewarding.

First of all, you have a landscape. A landscape with a lot going on. You have an imaginary species of... reptiles? I would say those are reptiles. There is also a lot of flora, this time looking fairly Earth-like. It is used in a very refreshing - avant-garde even - way: ferns alonside some sort of blue-green coral, a deciduous tree. Part of worldbuilding of own universes requires a lot of research and a thorough knowledge of how ecosystems on Earth function. Otherwise immersion suffers. Here, your artwork gives me a lot of insight into the planet it takes place on. It definitely has the very same atmosphere (possibly climate too) as Earth. Definitely some Sun-like star to in the right distance. It's actually the best part of the render. Lighting is a pain no matter the software used - but somehow you handled it so capably! It is serene, languorous, relaxed. The mist and the mountains on the distant horizon are just lovely as well. It's obvious a lot of work went into all this. Are you by any chance composing the scene in Vue? It gives off a distinct Vue-ish feel in my humble opinion. Then, you have the flying reptiles - I can imagine it took some time to pose. Personally, I would have used less striking textures. Let's think about it for a moment. Are they predators? If so, they would need a coat to mask themselves. If not, do they have many natural enemies? If the answer is yes, they should try to blend it with their surroundings better too. I do see the appeal, however: they're striking.

Some things I would try to work on: the water. I strongly suspect it's actually a plane, some primitive, made half-transparent through opacity and translucency settings. It works well enough to the right, but the line near the wing more to the centre of the render is a bit too crisp. You could try changing the value so that it actually resembles a sprinkle of water. The ground textures could be spiced up a bit too, although I cannot say what options you have without knowing your software. Some physics-based engine may be a way to go. Maybe simply applying a different shader would do. The tree seems a bit unrealistic, but I bet it's the prop's fault. Overall, you should be proud of yourself.

Lastly, thanks for Constructive3D for showing me this work.
