[Secluded Temple]

Mesmerising and beautiful

This is a calming and ambient piece of work which is brought to life by a variety of elements.

The colours in this piece work together very effectively. ThereâEUTMs the sharp contrast between the red flowers and the green ground which help to make both features stand out. ThereâEUTMs also the harmonisation between grass; the grey rocks (which are partially covered in moss) and the very gentle, light blue river. ItâEUTMs these colours that truly make the scene peaceful.

ItâEUTMs also worth noting the selection of browns found in the trees which seem to make the trees stand put more and really bringing them into the foreground with darker shades while sticking with lighter browns in the background.

I also love the fine detail concerning the temple (which seems to complete the image) as well as the detail with the whole image. ItâEUTMs a clear scene.

A peaceful piece which really draws the user in, youâEUTMve also really captured the essence of an oriental type garden. 96/100 A*

Great work!

This is a piece which owes its vibrancy to the variety of colours used here. ItâEUTMs worth noting the way the cat is shaded, putting darker and lighter colours (primarily blue) together to show the contours on the catâEUTMs body. ThereâEUTMs also the greens and yellows being used for lighter areas and also complimenting the reddish background.

The shape of the cat seems to be correct too. I like how the brush strokes seem to follow the pattern of the catâEUTMs fur but more of this couldâEUTMve been done for the side of the cat (at the bottom of the image).

The palette of colours employed here help make this a great portrait. 87/100 A+

Amazing

This is a really powerful and also beautiful artwork, it's clear to see that a lot of effort has gone into this.

The way that the giant bird "bursts" through the flames ( which are made and coloured to an exceptional standard.) is really well done. The bird's feathers are also constructed really nicely too.
The shadings are well placed ( with the reddish; purplish tinge ) and add to the chaos factor of the piece.
There's also the comedic element too, I almost start to laugh upon seeing the goblin grinning madly with a bomb in its hand. Yup, definitely "service with a smile"!

Great piece of work, colouring works, somewhat amusing and well detailed. 98/100 A*.

I like it.

The concept of a city on a floating rock in the sky is an interesting one.

The background and the rock have been given a lot of attention and depth but the city could do with a bit more to make it stand out more ( despite the fact that it's already the center of attention). Also the shading is great and gives the scene a sort of ominous feel.

Nicely constructed; cool concept. 75/100 B+

Fantastic

The colours harmonize really well with each other in this piece, such as the green canopy with the bluish area underneath.
The orange clouds are well chosen, it gives the impression of a relaxing afternoon.

The architecture is really interesting too, it seems to blend in well with the forest too. The image has a lot of detail too.

Nice work, you've caught the "magical" essence of the environment, 89/100 A+
