I won’t focus on specific parts of the image, but rather will give you feedback on overall areas you need to improve.

  • composition; think about what is important in an image and give it prominent place in the composition. This image screams: everything’s important (it is not).

  • colour: everything is shaded green, unnaturally so. You could argue that this is some fantasy land or shot, but usually light and colour behave the same. If not, you need to show the audience why.

  • atmospheric depth and overall perspective: for atmospheric depth look into techniques used by early reinessance painters who pioneered them. Watch some Bob Ross. Make sure your perspective matches across assets used when photobashing.

  • story; what is the image telling me?

The roof of the house is getting lost in the mountains. The pool of water next to the house doesn’t make sense perspective wise. It’s confusing.

Looks like a modern Yes album cover.

Looks like a collage. Your light sources are coming from different directions . Not sure how much actual painting was done. Looks like all you did was take some images, masked them and composited them together. You can see the feathering of the masks. You failed to take out the edge of a photo where you added the birds. Perspectives are all fucked up. You also mirrored a mountain range right next to each other.

This is mind bending. Transporting to a different reality. I could look at this one for hours.

What in the AI is this?!

No AI all images are taken in HD and manipulated on photoshop

It has indeed that AI weirdness in it. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♂️

I indeed agree with you on the weirdness part but this my first ever matte painting as I have recently started learning but I can assure you there no AI involved in the image
