Wow. I love photoshop. Things come out in such better qauility then the gimp. Just playing around. What should add i add, what should I remove and what looks like.

The landforms seem too cut and paste

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Looks like you've spent about five minutes on it.

[jiyong]

Seems a little too simple, imo.

[technicolour]

It's not a matter of what you should add but what is the purpose of it? What are you wanting it to convey? Figure that out and then you'll know what you'll need to add.

I second Frank and Kristina's replies. Try adding some waves or textures or something to the water.

It remindes me of a pop up book. I really like the moutains, but hate the trees. Are those penguins on the bottom? They look funky.

[Tramatize]

HAHA@the waves

sorry

[Maccabee]

Ok thanks. I re did the trees and I keep adding more stuff to make it look kind of cluttered. Ya I'm gonna re do the penguins to. Hehe. I'll post an update. could someone give me a tutorial on how to texture a plain surface. Still don't know how to do it in phototsho and make itvlook good.

I think it looks cool, very clean and minimalist. I can appreciate that.

[Maccabee]

is it obvious that those are sharks? and i still the the trees look lame. and I was gonna add more. c&c

and ideas for things to add?

O! ima add a plane!

[none345678]

The island is a little to golder, and the trees still look bad to me. There are a few to many waves imo. For the penguins all you really need to do is make them more black. Maybe less fat

[Tramatize]

Shadows help a lot but you only have them on the island and the sharks.

[Maccabee]

Ok ill add shadows. I dont really like this. I think i would like it more if i did it in ilustrator but I suck at illustrator right now :(

[none345678]

Another that makes it a bit off to me is that there should be snow on top not just on the bottom.

It's five million times better than what 90% of Showcase Users post, and you guys know which ones I'm talking about.

I like the concept of it, and I like what you added Joseph. That's pretty much all I can say.

This is true.

Looking better and better. I agree with what Abbey said about the waves. I think what bothers me about the trees is that the leaves area should be bigger; it looks out of proportion with the trunks. Just my opinion, though.
