Lovely work! I think that lacking the familiar cartoon swirl clouds and other such clichés makes this visual style less familiar, which means it sticks out in your mind more. If the scene had swirly cartoon clouds, people would look at it and think, "oh, Kung Fu Panda fanart, that's nice" and it would get lost in the memories of all the other art filed under that mental category. Pulling from less familiar source material like this makes it more memorable.

The swirly cloud motif would be too "deco" or baroque for this scene anyway, IMO. It could pull too much attention away from the lovely subtlety going on at ground level.

Totally love your art style, sooo rich. Awesome inspirational stuff.

i'm loving this, especially those rocks, you really nailed it!
only the old man doesn't quite fit, he's to clean, aspecially compared to those rocks he's sitting on
that's how it is in the movie though so if you want to stay true to it it's all good!

This is beautiful.

I completely missed it the first time around. Thank goodness for the new banners.

Wow , Thanks Polycount always want be one of the banner, my dream came true :P

The banner attracted me too, I HAD to know where that lovely little bird was from. This is really stunning work, the dreamy stylised look is just fantastic.

Love the color tone

Absolutely fantastic work! Looking forward to more!

Really great. Love it.

Some of the most beautiful game graphics I've seen, ever. Not much else to say.

Oh my god, this is so inspiringly beautiful. Great job!

Oh, my god!! I love it! I used to watch this TV show when I was a little girl! I am so happy to see it here!

The art style on this is soo inspirational, can't believe I have only seen this till now.

I think you hit the nail on this perfectly, the birds are a nice addition to the scenery too, reminds me of the old Disney animated birds from Bambi!

Really beautiful stuff. I love all of the tones and colors, and the lighting makes me feel like I'm watching the newest Pixar movie, but something very unique. Can't wait to see more from you.

Great style. Everything feels so warm and soft, I love it.

I like it; it has a very charming and oriented feel to it.
