about:
------
This image harkens back to when I was young and enjoyed seeing for the first time all those cool scifi book covers which were also sometimes sold as posters. - I love scifi/fantasy book cover art. :-)

very nice image, love the minimal colours, think it evokes the scifi covers you are talking about really well
Excellent image and overall concept..for me,the posing of the figures does not represent cold.I would imagine them in more of a hunched up,knees to chest,head in knees kind of pose if it was very cold and there is no apparent heat source to keep them warm. Of course,that is assuming that they are human and not android,in which case all comments mentioned would not apply!
cool
Very cool render. Nice snow effects. I agree with grafikeer on the posing. They look more like they're on a beach than someplace with deep cold. Nailed the setting, though!
Actually my thoughts were that they seeking sanctuary and warmth in front of the fire from the wreckage (a leaking flammable liquid?) and that whilst it was really hot (enough to keep well away back from and still feel the heat), it was melting through the snow there but soon enough it would die out....much like they might very well soon afterwards in the chilling cold. - Hence the forlorn attitudes. -- But hey, they were just my own thoughts. :-) -- Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the image and yes, I was deliberately keeping colours down. - One of the qualities of book cover art was that they had to be muted enough not to drown out the titles and cover text, but also to leave enough space for the publishers to add them over/around any cover art image. - Look at the great book cover art of time past and you'll see what I mean when you see them as posters etc without any text. There's a lot of blank space there or stuff that can be covered up despite the artist doing all that hard work. - Another great aspect of book cover art was those pieces that had more of the scene wrapped from the cover, around the spine, and to the rear cover so when you opened up the book to face you (not breaking the spine of course...that's book sacrilege!), you'd see an entire scene. :-)
Beautiful !
