Have a daily comic strip called The Experiment check it out, subscribe let me know if you like it or if you don't either way is cool with me. The Experiment

Wish you best of luck, and keep up the hard work!
Work at your comfort but as you asked for thoughts,
At the moment, both the foreground and background mountains are saturated, causing the colors to clash and lose a sense of depth. You can probably google images of landscapes. Would suggest searching color theory videos on YT, cool colors vs warm colors and how to paint landscapes.

eg. In these shots (taken from google) notice the mountain has a cool color (low saturation), while the trees and foreground are more vibrant and pop out to create depth:

almost similar here, but the whiteness of the fog also helps those dark pine trees pop against the mountains

This ones the reverse, creating the impression that the sunlight or fog is illuminating the distant mountains, the trees being darkest and possibly covered by the first row of mountains. While simplistic they manage to create depth with the contrasting colors:

Hope these make sense and come in handy :smiley: :thumbsup:

And here's my series on here, likewise, its been fun but also a learning journey with each episode, researching & finding new methods to improve along the way:

It's an actin horror comic about two brothers who are super spreaders of a virus, anyone they infect will instantly become monsters and the bros unwillingly start an outbreak. Side effects allow the bros to manipulate states of matter and grants them a fighting chance!

I'm getting a bit of a 'pre-historic era' kind of vibe from this; maybe it's my history of obsessing with dinosaurs in these kinds of environments from when I was young?

Here's the story I'm working on right now; I really couldn't think of anything to do for the environment/background of my cover, so it's just a gradient gold that I think fits the steampunk vibe my world is going for.

The cover for some reason reminds of me of Jurassic Park but as a children’s book yet the title seems more mature. I like it ,I’ll have to give it a read.

Here’s my fantasy novel. No sub4 sub,only subscribe if you enjoyed the story and want to read more.

Elyn is trying to solve the mystery of her brother’s disappearance while also guiding souls to the afterlife.

Updates every Friday


Genre: Fantasy Adventure
Update: Every other day for now (I plan to change my update to twice a week, but I have yet to pick the days)

A story about three siblings Jack, Jill, and Jewel who are swept in a storm to another world called Malkuth. There they learn about the dark history that surrounds this planet including the fact they cannot go back home unless they defeat the towers located there and use the keys to open a portal. Separated and on their own, they each seek out one another. Jack becomes a hero his name spreading far and wide, but is being a hero all it seems to be? While Jill is stuck inside a tower and must defeat its core to escape. Little Jewel, the youngest of them, meets a very powerful figure who is seeking a special tower in hopes of finding an artifact. Can these siblings find one another and survive a harsh world full of death and lies? Or will they never see the others ever again?


Genre: Romance Fantasy, Isekai
Update: Every Saturday

Summary:
What if you were suddenly transported to another world? But you're just... YOU.

You probably think, "Lucky me, right?" Especially for someone who loves Isekai stories, mysteries, and comedy-dramas—it's the perfect escape from reality. But instead of waking up as a princess, a mysterious baby, or a cunning villainess, you're just... YOU.

No magical powers, no royal lineage, not even the perks of being a maid in a powerful family. Just you, stranded with no money, no family, and—fantastic—I’m a captive who could die at any second. Whoever created this world should be the one stuck here, dealing with this mess!

Now, survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about figuring out how to navigate this ridiculous situation and maybe, just maybe, getting a little payback and a bountiful pile of gold for my hard work! :yum:

"Tyler and Hyan Red Way had always lived amidst family secrets, but nothing could have prepared them for the moment when the Arcanum legacy came to light. As monstrous creatures and long-forgotten magic invade their world, the brothers discover they are heirs to an ancient power, destined to protect humanity from a looming darkness. With the ruthless guidance of their cousin Monica and the harsh tutelage of their aunt Michelle, Tyler must step into his role as the Scarlet Arcanum, despite the reluctance and the weight of the past consuming him. Amidst inner conflicts, betrayals, and overwhelming responsibilities, the fate of an entire bloodline—and the world of men—rests in his hands. But accepting his place may prove more perilous than any battle."
