Just ordered a copy from Amazon and then I spotted this thread.

I trust no cats were harmed in the process of making your ad photo.

No exagerration there, thats an amazing photo. Was it made worse by firemens hoses, it looks isolated?

Looks promising, not sure about "malevolent", looks fairly inviting to me...but then I did grow up in North Yorks/Cleveland.

Great work, my one crit would be the strength of the black in the shadows on the left side cliff. They seem too black for the scene. I can see that they are like that on the original photo but it may...

I like it, not sure that there is much that I could add as it sounds like you have all the next steps considered already. Some extra snow in the valleys and eaves might help and then some light...

I don't have a problem with the converging verticals so long as the perspective is carried through the entire composition. At present, I think the boat needs tweaking as its perspective doesn't match...

I don't mind all the changes so much but I really, really do miss the "recent posts" links. Showing the last two doesn't help much if someone new decides to post a "hi everbody" message and/or...

I got a bit confused by the comment at first but then guessed it related to perspective rather than design.

I think there are improvements in the second version but I did prefer the first one...

Thats really interesting to be able to compare times against images, puts them more into a production context.

You like doing ice scenes!

I really like this but that shaft of light coming through the hole top left is a bit wierd. It feels a bit too severe to me and I don't see where the light is coming...

Great sense of lighting!

Do you start with a an end goal in mind or do you let the composition and design come out of doodling and sketching around?

I was away on holiday when you posted your updated. Looks better but there are still a few areas further down the streets that need pushing back tonally...or maybe other parts around...

I think the VP is okay, it is where it is. I think the visual problem is that the perspective for the door doesn't match that for the floor i.e. you have different VP's for the floor and the panels...

Looks interesting, any chance of seeing a bigger version as there is loads of detail that I can't really make out.

A couple of immediate observations were that you might expect to see more bright...

Re: environment concept : north front

Re: Matte Painting and PEOPLE. Faces, bodies, etc...
