Feedback for a Winter Contest Theme

Hey everyone! How are you doing??

I need to get some honest feedback on my latest artwork, in terms of lighting and overall theme. I want to improve this work as much as possible in 2 days max. I would really appreciate your time and advice. Thanks :heart:

Hi 3dwb,

first, I like the look and the clear ice feeling overall.

In which direction do you want to improve this scene ? Should it be a realistic or stylized ?

What immediately caught my eyes is the “off” of the shadow overall. Here are three examples …

  • The penguins for example are prertty flat stading there.
  • The person by the fire is also casting no shadow at all and the fire seems to only effect the sitting person, not the standing one.
  • The place of the fire logs left to the snowman is well lit, but lying in a shadow which comes from nowhere.

It seems to me, that the sunlight affect all elements, but only casts a shadow to the ice itself.

I hope you don’t get my answer to harsh, it’s only ment to be kindly, to improve your work.

Best regads,
Dennis

Alright! Thank you so much Dennis :slight_smile: I really appreciate your comment, yes the lighting seems a bit off, I couldn’t figure out what’s the “off” part, then you clearly identified that.
Thanks again :innocent:

You’re welcome… Hope you get it to work, and improve your shadow… The scene looks great so far. … Don’t forget to show your improvements here :wink:
