I love the mood you set here with the dark colors you used. It's got a dark mood to it, but the palm trees give it a relaxing mood, too. The shading and lighting are both very good. You did a nice job making the moon and the fire reflect off of the water. It's a small detail that some artists miss, but you never forget that detail.

The fire should've been left out or should've been put in a better spot. It just stands out too much. The bright colors of the fire just don't blend with the rest of the artwork. I think it's oddly placed as well. If it wasn't so distant maybe it wouldn't look so out of place. Maybe if it was in a different spot, say in the middle of the palm trees, it would look a lot better. Some shading around the fire would've done it some justice, too.

Other than the issues with the fire, I really like this! I'm a sucker for landscape paintings, especially those with anything tropical in them, like palm trees. Nice work!

Thank you. I also love landscape paintings, and one reason why I make them is because they're uncommon on newgrounds.

I think this is the most in-depth review I got for my art :D

I wanted the fire to immediately grab one's attention because it's in the center of the image and the trees "point" toward it. Now I know that it just looks strange.

I really like what you did with this one! The composition is really good, as are the color choices. Personally, I would've probably left out the fire, but that's up to the artist's discretion. You did well in the moon being the light source, since the contrast created by the shades of the mountain, and the reflection of the water is really effective. It also contributes to a more three-dimentional feel, as certain parts of the mountains are lit differently. Another nice detail is how the moon is a bit blurry, because of the clouds in the sky, and you can even kind of see one of the black-ish clouds covering up small parts of the moon (unless it's just supposed to be the craters of the moon, which would also work).

Either way, nicely done!

Everratic responds:

The darks of the moon are meant to be the craters. I wanted to cover it with clouds, but unfortunately I made the sky and clouds on the same layer. Thank you for the review!
