I knew from the thumbnail that this was yours! You have a style that no one can copy! If you look real hard you can see a cow skull about middle ways. Love it, can't wait to see it finished.
It's like twin towers, one in the sky and one in the water and the hero has to go to both castles to find pieces of a talisman to defeat the evil plauging the land. Ok, this made me head off in storyland. Seriously Roy, you should do a graphic novel.
Those water splashes on the right make me think of an invisible force, in the boat, pulling the big structure slowly out of the picture..
Beautiful color palette and flowing strokes, but what I love the most is the feel of some hidden energy in there!
I think the splash unbalences it a bit, becoming the focal point when you really want that to be secondary or less. ;) I think you might what to rethink that area of your composition.
Oooh, it's puffing smoke. What's fun is going through each version and it looks like it's getting clearer as the sun gets brighter (or as bright as it can get) What I'd like to see is you and Redpanda collabing with both your unique styles of landscapes.

I wasn't sure about the splash, because it's the only part with white. Maybe I will revise it tomorrow. :)
