Description

This was really a lot of fun to make! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it! :D

New alternative title: "I think I'm lost" ;)

Edit: Some little tweaks here and there but also changed the shadow. Hopefully it fits better now!

Many thanks to:
~Fallen-Immortal for the cave ([link])
*Drezdany-stocks for the polar bear ([link]) and the penguin ([link])

Very nice. I doubt I was the first one who mistook this manip as a painting, so congrats on that. You made a really strong image with "limited" resources. You made the most of them.

If there is anything to criticise it would be the penguin's shadow which seems slightly unnatural (it should be more... "uneven" in that snow) and the lack of focus which you can push by adding contrasts to the image. If you darken the edges and the ice, the sunlight and the animals will truly be the center of the image, even more than now.

Still, that's just nitpicking. As a whole, the image is beautifully done and playing with the fact that these two live on literally opposite ends of the earth gives it some extra laughs to boot.

Really great work here ^^
