I'm thinking of making an old castle on a hill.I'll try to get some fog involved, some clouds, maybe even a thunder.Is that OK?

What kind of environment and atmosphere are you going to give your scene?

Well here's basicly what the picture willl be like.I was thinking of a night atmosphere with a full moon (behind the castle to the left), some dead trees etc.I'll put in some clouds and some fog on the ground.I hope to be able to put a thunder as well, but I'll leave that last.

This is basicly what the picture will contain(objects).Maybe I'll put a couple of more trees or smth.I'm having problems with the texture though.After that I'll put some fog and mess with the lights.

The mountains could use some more work to make them look more realistic, and less smooth. I like the castle and the fog.
