Looking really good. I love the style and colors. Not sure about the dark "clouds" on the wall though. Are these supposed to be shadows? If it's to add a worn-out look to the wall, you should place it more carefully and maybe tone it down a bit? The stones at the bottom of the wall also look awfully flat.

Other than that it's a great start. Looking forward to see more.

Looking great so far. Love the style.

I know its all still early stages, but the texture on the rocks looks really blurry at the moment.

thnaks, is true, for background stuff is ok, but is too blure for use in forground

Damn this is looking good so far. I've never head/seen Legend of the Sealed book before either. I'm intrigued by the art style. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks and tonight i did another rock which more similar the movie

This is looking very cool. I really dig the look of this piece!!

Another update, today i add terrain and water

I am absolutely in love with this. I had never heard of the animation, but it looks awesome based on those few screenshots. Keep it up.

Aw, where'd the trees and rock formations go? I really liked the rock and tree grouping in the 2nd iteration you did. Hope those make a comeback.

I think this mayb the final update.. maybe not, but I want start new one now
Final Video 01

really digging the style. but I feel like the sky and ground textures could use a little love? Possibly some more distanced mountains or some clouds. Its just such a large percentage of the picture ya know?

Could be nice to bring in some more contrast, perhaps lower the tonemapper in post? Idk if you were still looking for crit

I like the art style pulled it off for sure, and i like the misty effect you get around the water, not sure if its on purpose but i like it

In fact for the floor, the sky is quite flat and empty ,is the original idea from Chinese tridition painting, is call Liu Bai, means leave white on paper. is kind of make more contrast between detail and background,and I want keep it
and for the overall Tonemaper,I think little bite over, maybe my monitor is too grey now, I should turn it little down. Thanks you comment

Yeah that looks really awesome. Great work!

superb work!

Oh wow I am loving this!!! The colours and softness to the textures is really nice!

I did a boat there, not sure if really need or not. but just make more intresting in river, also a night version as well

looks beautiful, I feel like the character should pop out more maybe have him use his diffuse in the emmisive slot just a little?

Stunning work!
