Environment Concept Art

Hello, people of the Internet, I am working on a project in which I had to design a forest island concept piece. I wanted some feedback on the design, composition, and lighting of the piece. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me out. Have a wonderful day ahead.
Hi! I love seeing environment concepts, and this is very unique! My first thoughts are that the background hills seem a little bit too uniform in size, shape, and height, so it's not translating in my brain as very organic. Maybe create some more contrast by playing with gradation in heights, and some sharper angles on some of the hills? Try asking, "what's the story behind this landscape?" Meaning, not what's happening IN the landscape, but rather what has happened TO the landscape over history.
Something like an erupted volcano shape that has the cone blown off but with lava dripping down the sides, only this is very green and jungle-esque, with water spilling out?? Just some ideas! Love the direction, love the color palette. Very serene. Maybe add some complementary colors in there as well to help make it feel less flat.
Good luck!

Hey @Atharva Lotake! Great work- it's nice to see someone tackle an environment now and then :)
I think an easy way to improve the piece would be to enlarge the wall of statues- it would really make those huts feel tiny and make the image feel even more vast than it already is.
I also think the value of the hills in the mid ground get too dark and distract from the center statue
I did a paintover to explore a different camera angle that would make the statue feel more like a commanding figure along with some other notes. Hope it helps!
Thanks for sharing!
