It is supposed to be in theÃ,  middle of nowhere, character walks out of jungle after a rain (it is dark) but clear enough for stars to exist, there is no interaction, only scrolling words, so I won't put objects or hotspots etc..It is too empty though, and I cant find what else to put in a night sky!
I though of adding the tops of trees etc at the bottom but it didnt really work...
Edit
Does this look like tree outlines?? :-\Ã,  Ã,  Ã, Another thought: if character is in the jungle, I think the view of the sky can't be taht clear? I mean, should I show that it's a clearing, a river or something ?

It may have been my drawing them, then... :-[
Your edit looks good, only thing is that it's supposed to be jungle or similar.Ã, 
(my jungle pic looks more than normal forest, but I won't tell you :PÃ,  )

So what your saying is that you want jungle rather than forrest?
I don't understand  ???

I guess he just wants deciduous trees (which growing in the jungle), not coniferous (characteristic for cooler areas). ;)

The stars should be smaller, too. But stuh's edit is really all you need (after changing the shape of the trees, of course)

The silhouette of a tropical forest? Boy, that's a tough job!
The tree tops could easily be mistaken for mountains and other stuff.

Hints: show some taller trees, to show some tree trunks (visual references).
It would also help to hang some liana (? translation I found) on a few trees and nocturne life popping in some places. The sound would do the rest.

Stefano, even though you "don't live in the Amazon jungle", you know that kind of forest quite well...  ;D

hahahaha!  ;D That's true. I don't live in it (I actually live in a huge, polluted city called São Paulo), but I can visit tropical green areas at anytime (not THE jungle, as Amazon is really far from São Paulo).

There is another room which shows the jungle, with trees and all that, although it still needs work. This room is supposed to be the character looking at the night sky. I like the edit but I should change it to tops of tropical trees instead of coniferous.

Thanks for the ideas.

I think if you put clouds in the skyÃ,  white / gray depending on games feel it would look alot more complete.Ã,  Ã,  If you still want stars just draw them lightly behind the clouds or draw the clouds around the stars.  or mabey an even darker blue color in the dark patch of blue in the middle of the sky.

I added some details (edited my first photo). Now what??

It's very good now. But if it's going to be an interactive cutscene background, you really should remove those monkeys, if you're not going to make them move. But if it's going to be an uninteractive start screen or something, then you can keep them in it.

I 'll remove the monkeys from the painting and add them as characters or something. I'll add some birds maybe. The main character will be hiddenÃ,  and this room is kind of transitive anyway, so not too much interaction needed in my opinion.
