[Amit Dutta]

Hey Aumes, again I really like your design work. The pieces themselves have a great perspective and the composition works well. I don't know if you consider these finished pieces, but even if not, I think you might want to pay attention to how much detail density there is in the photo textures you use, vs the other elements. Because you haven't really simplified or overpainted to integrate them well enough, everything contrasts with everything else and fights for attention. Just look at the main throne in the first image, you can barely see the characters amongst all that tech. They blend in. You have to provide rest areas for contrast with the detail areas and for the eye to rest.
Again if you are going to use photos, you have to spend more time integrating / simplifying / unifying the whole thing in order to get the image to read as a whole.

I think also that the lighting needs to be thought about in a bit more detail. You have used photos where the light sources conflict with the lighting for the scene. One of the ways to minimize the work involved in integration is to try and pick texture images that are only ambiently lit. The moment you get images with harsh shadows and direct lighting that don't match your scene, a lot more work is needed to get them to fit with overpainting. With ambiently lit photos, it is easy to add different lighting and shadow layers to fit the scene.

You could use lighting and values to separate your key elements a bit more.
If I have time I will do a paintover for you and shove it on here. I like the comp and narrative and design, if feels very Dune like!
