Could there be more Isle of Fire artworks? Its a very fun concept.

Sure, it's possible. Might not be for a while though.

Hey I posted anothe rpic of my favorite Nlian critter!

Let me know what you think!

Just out of curiosity, how did you learned to make landscapes on your art images, how did make them, and how do you draw them on your art images?

It's all just been trial and error. I tend to use a lot of 'color holds' to create contrast between foreground and background elements.

Hmmm.... to be honest, I was actually hoping if there is a designated name to the art-style of your background designs.

I was trying to look for a type of art-style for background designing that suits me better than digital painting since I'm really not good at digital paintings and drawing things realistically.

Until I found your art images on Pinterest and Deviantart, I actually like the way you made your landscapes and backgrounds for your creatures.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the type of background design you're using for your landscapes is called "flat background design", no?
