hello people of DA, I was working on this one for probably 2 hours, and there is just something wrong with it so i need your help. I really don't want to give up on it, I think the thing in the middle needs to be pushed back a bit and maybe more things in the foreground, I just don't know. so any advice would be VERY appreciated
First thought was to morph the pillar things in the background to giant/demon legs (with it's left knee behind the white birds) as if the magical runes were a prison for it. Does that make any sense?
This looks almost like a dimensional clock chained in place. The perspective on this piece is very much fish-eye. You can make this work to your advantage by adding some diagrams and charts, like you are looking through the camera of a robotic probe. With the red design, it draws the eye immediately, but I'm not sure what it is. Are these imprisoning glyphs on the tomb of a demon? Is this arcane seals on a weapon of unimaginable power? Basically - is this fantasy or sci-fi? It could be both, with the current level of detail. The arch looks like it is off-balance on the right side. To make this a sci-fi or space opera-type image, you can add a large moon or Saturn-type planet behind the mountains. The foreground needs some color to tie it to the point of focus. Some red would benefit.
OOOOOO holy moly thats alot ahaha XD well yer I did think this one was lacking alot of design theory ahahah man you have some nice ideas. I was thinking about what you said and BEWM now I'm going to paint scifi cowbows with giant mechs in the wild wild west !!!
I think white birds in the distance doesn't work, darker would be better, and even a bit blurred. Otherwise this is GREAT! Maybe I'd put more birds way way off in the distance circling something. Also you can see on the big rising bent columns in the background some bleed of the pattern into the fog, at least it appears that way.
I really like this a lot mostly though and think you are doing a great piece.
It was suppose to be like a giant stone gate way

Although if I go pack to it I will do it, I like the bird idea a lot XP
Inspiring and cool!
