Hey everyone! I'm working on a concept for a game and am not sure where to take this piece. I feel like something is missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

Hey! I'd look into values and how to direct attention to the focal point. It's really hard to read the forms you have since it's mostly flat in one shade of red/orange.

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely work on that. Do you think adding more contrast with rim lights will help?

I went back and adjusted the values and saturation in focal areas. Here's the result:

Yeah, showing the forms would help it read a lot better. For example, the tube-like structures don't really read as it's suggested because of the colors/values within the line work!
