Yeah, excellent dramatic effect, especially on the first one. I like your minimalist use of colors.
There is something very haunting about the contrast between the two scenes, not to mention the gray sky of the second.
@Super17; thanks!
@DB; I tried to make it look like a partially cloudy northern weather,not sunny or bright, since the game is about a Viking village.
You convey a good sense of cinematic drama with the fire scene...
...but the gray sky in the second image seems a little bit off.
Good handling with the colors and details on this big scale!
I remember these from earlier when we talked about it.
Good to see them on the gallery, nice work!
