Very nice, man.
You have a great sense of colours
I do find the resolution pretty small, but that's not that big of a problem

Thanks! This was during my "small" phase, which thanks to comments like yours made me enter into into a "large" phase. So, the next few things will hopefully be a lot bigger.

That's good to hear
Any pointers you have on doing this kind of background works, I really like yours, and I still need some tips on it

Thanks dude! I'm working on a few things I can't show for the moment, but then I'll be back to posting.
Pointers for this type of work... hmm. I found making my own brushes really helped. Color theory is a big part of it. In this one, for instance, the blue and the orange compliment each other, to help push the mood. I study from life whenever I work on pieces like landscapes, definitely, but also I find that with landscapes especially its easier than you think to subtract unnecessary information out and abstract things without things getting wonky on you. Sketch things out and then remove what you don't think is needed, then do your rendering, and remove again. I had so much extra junk in this one before hand and ended up just taking the eraser tool to half of it. It just wasn't needed.

I don't think it is so much a problem of stronger colors, as you are very good with that already. I think there just needs to be a little contrast in this one.
