Critique me please

The first thing that distracted me was the shadows. They aren't very realistic. Especially with the fireball. It would be creating a glow on the ground below it, not casting a shadow.

Looks like something you would get if you paid a random indian $2

I would use rule of thirds on the backgrounds to pull it together a little bit more. The earth lookin ball seems to have mountains which don't flow with the ocean and lava rock.

The horizons should really line up to give it a cleaner look. The earth ball is by far the worst, the fire and water one look like balls, but the earth one looks flat and the shadows on the bottom of it look rough and unnatural. As that other annon said, the shadows on the ground also looks really out of place.

The shadows in the Water are to hard.

Holy fuck it's so ugly

I am not a fan, but in all fairness it ain't bad

>it seems like you got lazy on the Earth ball: the cracks' resolution seems low/badly patched, the border ends too abruptly making it seem you copy-pasted an ellipse on the backround, i would make the dust/debris darker - seems shattered glass now

All of them lack volume, if you are going for a 2d look then forget about the shadows on the floor, right now they look like a weird thing inbetween 2d and 3d,

I don't hate it. The critics you'll find here are from career designers and therefore are hypercritical. From a consumers standpoint it's okay. Definitely needs refining but I don't hate it.

you need to at least TRY to line up the horizons of each landscape imo.
