what should i do with those strange clouds? :C

I'm not sure if dithering the clouds is a good idea. It gives it kind of a rough texture. You should try cell shading. Or at least if you're going to do dithering don't make the colours SO different.

Here's a good example of some well done clouds.

indeed. sun is a strong ligthsource, and gives an orange/redish tone to everything it touces. clouds are affected by this light, so they must reflect a brigth side where the light hits them. same for everything in this scene.

and perhaps a bit more work on the shape of these clouds, so they wouldn't look like a weird mass of clay. use references, they'll save you a lot of time when you really don't know how to do it.

thanks for the suggestions guys, let me show you what i got:


any other advice?

i tried to affect the clouds by the sun (i hope you know what i meant)
but that looks a bit spotty ^^^
is that okay?

thanks again for the replies

remember that clouds aren't made of a solid material, they're just an accumulation of watter, so they don't follow any kind of pattern.

another idea on how to make a sunset

htanks again for the replies.



here's what i got. i made the shining to look better but i can not do anything with the clouds. they are still puzzle pieces, i leave them alone. :/

this photo in particulart shows how clouds are made and how are they affected by an orange sunset light.

and this is another unrivaled example of a post-apocaliptic sunset.
