Beautiful and haunting! Great work on the flames and nice touch with the skulled mask, it feels like a perfect fit with the title! Nice job on making the background so dark and menacing, bravo

Hya Suntanna!!

This really looks great! The overall effects and the flames look great. It has a really creepy feel.

I do have a few suggestions though, if you'll have them...

-First, the horse (and skull) seems a little too light for the scene. However, I'm not going to suggest darkening them down totally... Instead, try making the highlights on the horse skull more orange.

-Second, the fires. The fires themselves really look great! My suggest has to do with the light they cast. If you remember from the 'Phoenix' manip you did (I think it was called phoenix... ) with the flaming horse running through the columns - there was a similar issue... Fire generates a lot of light - try to make the ground beneath the flames brighter with orange highlights. Also, try to add some orange highlights to the horse's belly too, to better connect the two.

-Lastly, the background. The background looks really good but it took me a while to figure out what was bugigng me about it. The background has one flaw that makes it look less believable - the fog. The fog/mist/clouds in between the two cliffs looks fine, but it doesn't seem to spread beyond that onto the field. Try adding some faint clouds of mist (like the smoke from the fires) just along where the clouds meet the ground.

Otherwise this looks awesome!

Dan

Thanks!

I always take your suggestions into consideration ^_^, though usually to try to change it for the next one, 'cause I'm happy with this one.

The main thing I wanted for this one wasn't realism, I did want the horse and skull to be brighter for the focal point and the added surrealism. The brighter firer I did try for, but I honestly didn't like the look.

And as for the clouds-I didn't add anything to the foreground because I didn't want it to be misty/foggy.

No problem

Ah fair enough. It does look really good either way. I'll admit I was looking at it from a realism point of view

Wow. That is just awesome, Sun! ^^ The fire looks AMAZING. I'm not crazy about the skull/mask/horns, they seem just a tad too...white for the rest of the composition, but everything else is fantastic. Keep up the good work!
