This look really great. What really got to me was the green foggy menacing background meanwhile the statue just continuous to pray unphased.

'sgood, nice job on the statue.

When you're picking your palette, are you aiming for brownish ground, blue statue and green sky?
I was wondering if the elements of the pic appear to work together if the colours were affected by the surroundng lights. Say the ground and the statue take on a greenish tinge?

Also you could possibly add to the narrative of the pic by adding some small figures of pilgrims to the statue? Would give a sense of scale, too.

I'm brain farting. Otherwise good job.

J-qb responds:

The statue is actually a bit brownish at the bottom and the ground and mid-ground on the right have some green in them, maybe I could have pushed that a bit more. I tried shading the statue a bit greenish but that seemed to make it blend in too much imo.
This was done as a poster for my mum so I didn't want to add too much narrative but rather keep it a bit serene... otherwise that would have been a good point. Maybe I could have added some birds or deer. Thanks for the farting ;)
