SciFi and Fantasy Art: Storm is rising

Wow, very nice.
The small detailes are really exceptional, you are defenetly an artist.

Ive been staring at it for a while, since the art shows so much class and skill i kept wondering why it felt so... hollow at first.
I actually failed to see the beauty untill i focussed more on the flag and clothes... and eventually the beautifull thunderstorm as it expands over the desert. (LOVE the mist/sand blowing up)
If you would allow me id like to give you some input of what i think would benefit the picture.
Maybe with more contrast in the storm the lightning and whole scene stands out more.
I also found the picture more appealing as i scrolled down the page, and the large black area of the sky was cut off just right above the first missile.
Maybe ill stop before i give too much opinionbased advice tho! For nothing is wrong here but just hard to catch at first glance. ;D

This is great, you’ve really managed to create a nice atmosphere in this picture; there is definitely a feeling of an approaching storm about it. One thing I think would make it even better is perhaps to make the lightning more visible, as the poster above commented on. Right now, it’s somewhat hard to notice. Other than that though, I have no negative criticism. Great work!

Wow, i have seen many amazing landscapes but this beats everything. Bueatiful.

Whoa!! That is awesome! Looks like a scene in a movie (if they made movies that cool, which they don’t ) Excellent contrast. Just, wow.

really beautiful!!!!!! uve captured the sense of ’calm right before the storm’ very well!!!!

this is just good on so many levels
