Hmm, Great Wall looks okay to me. As for Queen's Island, there are a few things that I think could be improved upon:
- The dark line at the top of the ground seems a bit out of place. Especially the transition between ground and ice-mountains would look nicer without it. In order to maintain some sort of visual separation between ground and volcano, latter need to be pushed further into the back with some haze.
Also, (optional, though) a few highlights on the ground would be nice. Similar to the patches present in Lion Forest.
- The sky feels a bit too dark. It does look dramatic like this, but adding some more not-so-dark areas can help breaking the sudden transition between clouds and black. In fact, without the small puffs right behind the volcano, one could mistake it for a large mountain (which could work as well )
- The slope of the volcano. Stretching it to the sides helps with two things: filling out the void to the left and right of it and secondly, it gives the illusion that the ground where it's emanating from is not some kilometers below. And, yeah, a slight blue/purple tint for the push into the background.
