I am making a new icon and I need help with the sky. I never was able to make decent skys.

It is 2 rock, ledge type things, with bridges connecting them.

Any help or crits or edits are welcome.

Jake.

 

-Edit-

Heres an edit. Any better?

The first thing I would suggest is bumping up the contrast by lightening the sky... I can hardly see the bridge and rocks against such a dark sky.  Maybe add a couple simple clouds and desaturated hills in the background.

Yeah baby.  Really nice work on the clouds and the hills. 

I hate to be a nagging whore but if you lightened the sky just a little bit more it'd help a lot.

Josh, you know, im not sure. I am thinking of trying what sedge has been doing, the 30-90 min speed pixels. It seems like it could be fun.

  It's been going really well for me lately with the shorter time intervals. I spend less time on stuff and produce better pieces.  Dilly-dallying has been killing my productivity the last few months.  It's easier to put aside an hour than an afternoon or evening ya know?
