      Beautiful!

      My one suggestion would be to tone down his nipples a bit.

      This really is a stunning piece! Very inspirational- makes me want to do some art.

        @smceccarelli this looks beautiful! What about about a shadow under the zip lining boy? That might make him pop a little more

          @Eric-Castleman that is how I feel at least once a day, especially when I see beautifully designed, simple and charming styles like yours 😉
          @Kevin-Longueil I have been studying Szymon Biernacki obsessively for this piece - he has some time-lapse videos and some gifs out there, and I have been pausing at every frame to study his layer structure and his process. I have learnt some things, some still elude me (I could not reproduce his brushes, no matter how much I tweak settings). But the one thing I learnt from him is style independent: apparently you can do whatever you want with your brushwork - if you nail the value structure and the color relations, it will look realistic. Some of his pieces are extremely stylized if you look up close - nothing more than designed shapes. His bushes and trees are practically abstract design. But because he has such a masterful control of value and color, it looks like a real landscape. Also, he uses texture to suggest volume, while reducing value-based volume rendering to a minimum. It was a really interesting study for me, as I am struggling to simplify my style without loosing personality.
