Environment art

It's all about proper design and good thumbnails/compositions.

What you would like to do if you do digital art, is to get a hack like Scott Robertson (see here at (18:00 , generally watch all)

also his talk about atmospheric perspective, generally I recommend Robertson for all things design (and AFAIK he also has gnomon about environments)

Also the bit around 3 minute in first video, when he talks about Modo replicators he basically says about making in 3D program an environment from mashed-up simple shapes and then paintover:

Putting it all aside:

Compostion and Thumbnails. Make a lot of abstract thumbnails with limited palette of colors or even with like 2 or 3 or hell, even with something that only varies by value. Then see what works and what doesn't.

Remember that this is a design work mostly. Like in your pic, those two goblins are crucial there to show the scale, without them this pic wouldn't work.

You need a flat brush (not a square one, a literally flat one, like this line -) that responds to angle, rudimentary understanding of color theory and zero point perspective
