Very well done. Love the depth.

Very nicely painted. The cloud formation is way cool. Unfortunately, I end up focusing on the sky and landscape, because it's so intriguing; the Queen and most of her beetles get lost, however, due to coloration and compositional choices. Somehow she needs to be placed more dramatically if you want her to be the focus (on top of a craggy mountain, set against the sky, for instance). No denying the image is very beautiful, though.

Nice work Richard

I agree with Kerry.
I think putting some mist in front of the mountain
and give the queen a different color would help
the focus/depth issue

That said I like the concept and those beetles are great

Very well done!

Thankyou for the nice comments everyone.

I can see the problem with the focal point.

Kerry I realise the queen should be more of a focal point but if I moved her there would be an open space in the middle, maybe doing what Vincent said and changing the colour of her robes will help things. thanks for the comment

Vincent I agree with you. I think changing the colour of the queens robes would help, I will definatley go back to it some time and tweak it.

Love it

Very nice work, I especially like the composition and perspective in this one. I'd like to have seen your values be pushed a bit more, however.

+9/9

the sky is also great.

good work, a little more environmental perspective would help

Very Good

Thanks guys!

George - Yeh I know what you mean, I think making it darker in places would help the image but I've found in previous paintings I go OTT on dark and light which makes it look like theres strong lighting when sometimes thats not what im intending to get across. I wanted in this image to be on a bright day in the desert hence the reason for the lack of darker colours.

Good concept I think you should have given the queen some more contrast color. I like the mountain texture. Clouds are a bit weird - I think you should use some reference next time Good work! Keep it up

thanks for the comment Nadia, I always like to be inventive with my clouds as you have probably come to realise if you have seen my other works and sometimes get carried away. i like them though, but I know there not everyones taste

top marks from me. this is very well done !!
