Tried to recreate an old painting I have. The place is called Pravčická brána but real one is quite different

This is a pleasant scene.
very nice artwork
Very nicely done. You’ve really captured the mood and painting quality. The snowy rocks look excellent, how did you make them? Sculpted with a shader for the snow? Or are they UV textured with displacement?

I like it very much. The only suggestion I would make is that the backdrop could be slightly darker so it doesn’t appear washed-out, and possibly a warmer color. During the “making of” sequence there is actually a lighting that I like better than that of the final shot above it. Let me see those distant crags just a little bit more through and above the archway. (Unless that was not what the original artist did.)
I would love to see a page or watch a video that shows how you constructed this magnificent piece.
It’s definitely a lovely image, but something is off about the camera that makes it look like a dollhouse. Focal length maybe?

Hey. It’s just september and you make me think of christmas already…
Love the mood. And I don’t mind the “off” dollhouse effect here - ot seems you aimed for painterly style (as you mentioned) and some dose of stylised non photorealistic is just in place.
I am not completely sure about the composition though.
Anyway great piece…

The arch and nearby rocks are roughly sculpted and details added with 3 heightmaps with object coordiantes. The same used for foreground rocks but sculpting is more accurate and heighmaps intensity is lower.
Very beautiful
