      Awesome! I love the concept and the line work!

      It looks to me like you are either cutting too much off of the main balloon or not enough.

      I think you should look at either making it so it all fits in the frame, or expanding the main ship & balloon even larger so that more of the balloon disappears.

      I've always been drawn to these types of images so I'm excited to see the results!

        I think the balloon needs to be bigger- not in a "try for scientific accuracy" way, just to sell the idea that it can lift the ship (which appears to be metal). They're pretty close to the same size, if the balloon was about twice the size of the ship it would break the overall design into thirds... the perspective looks great, the layout for the backgrounds totally works with objects poking out of the clouds, it looks like lots of fun πŸ™‚

            @mattramsey @leontine @tyler-blake @russ-van-dine Thank you for the comments. I will definitely have a look at making the size of the balloon bigger. I'll post an update in the next day or two.

              Love it, the composition is really dynamic and it's definitely going to be an exciting piece! I also love that you have Ironbridge as a focal point in the background πŸ™‚

                        Hey Lee, please no offence. I see a 'small' thing, The balloon on the left looks a bit like a but. LOL Maybe not a problem if you use the right colors...XD

                                Great image, itΒ΄s going to be awesome! This is my favorite type of image - in the air, with many planes and depth and a lot going on. Really looking forward to seeing your progress on this one!

                                          I was trying to get a rusty look on this area so I put a textured layer on top with the blend mode set to (soft light.)
