there should be an easier way to add items to a raffle like check marking all the items and adding them all at once on in groups of 10 items

Can wolves only get injuries like a broken paw if they're gravely wounded in battle?

I wouldn't mind! I do struggle with fantasy if it's more medieval. I've learned that it's just not my thing at the moment. ^^'

I am making this as entry for a contest,but that's not important.
I need advice on what to do with a jungle-forest-that mess of greenery and trunks in the back :'D
I mean,I am so far so happy with it,but I can't help,but notice it looks shallow,2-D,no volume ;-; or I am judging too hard

Note: I haven't shaded so far,mostly cause I don't know how exactly,I use airbrush ^^''''''''''''''

Also another issue is this things 'size/weight'...
It is 2000 X 1500 and it has 8 layers,but it is bit slow when uploading and closing-this didn't happen before,when I had like 5 layers(background 2 and character 3)
Plus,I have to add more things such as stream and 2 characters X')

Will shading some of the trunk(those who I drew in darker brown) help to create depth of some sort?
Are leaves too bright,should I darken some?

I think some of the problem is the trunks don't blend into the grass. They're right on top and awkwardly placed. It aside from that, it looks great.

I think it looks nice so far! Don't be afraid to draw parts of the tree roots to show that they are rooted to the ground, and you should shade if you are placing the light source away from the background. If you do choose to shade, do both the leaves and the trunk to be consistent.
There is a lot of space left in the front and distance is an issue- you lined up a lot of trees in a straight line, making it a bit crowded in the back. Maybe make some of the trees in the back a bit lighter with fewer details and with lower opacity.

After you add your characters, you may need to add a few more things to fill up the middle or front of the image. I think you should add the purple plants to create more variety, but don't make them too bright so that they will compete with the characters for the viewer's attention.
Maybe give the grass more defined shapes/textures. It appears to be flat since there are no ridges/hills in the earth, and varying the colors of the ground with some brown, blue or yellow helps. Airbrush is good for gradients and smooth texture, but not so much for rough surfaces like the ground. You may want to use a watercolor brush or a hard edge brush. The smudging kiiind of starts you off with developing shapes, but the shapes need to be fleshed out more because the colors are too smudgy so that the shapes are hard to see.
Shading- think of where you want to place the main light source, and put the basic shapes of your shadows away from or on the opposite side of where the light is. The brush used is up to you though.

Size and weight are another issue for me too, usually only when I'm using over 20 layers for a piece, and the program starts to lag. It's not much of a problem when I use smaller dimensions like 1000x1000, but 1500x1500 is when lag becomes an issue. The reason for uploading and closing to be slower is maybe because there is a lot of layers that need to be processed, but I'm not sure.
