[environment] Old Man Willow

[Greylion]

Fantastic @ndy could you please explain how you did this scene but firstly did you have to draw up any concepts before you started it or did you just go by tolken's words ?:applause:

[AshtrayBabyHead]

Nice render, but I dont see anything particularly evil or twisted...

[chalkeye]

fantastic stuff @ndy, beautiful render...

[bobtronic]

hello,

excellent work, can put but renders of the scene?

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[rlemoine]

Excellent work, but would like to know how you approached making this scene. Possibly a lighting set-up would be fantastic.

[Goofster]

Amazing work as usual @ndy. It's a shame artwork on this forum sinks to the second page so quickly. More people deserve to see this kind of enthousiasm. I vote for a longer first page :)

Keep doing that voodoo that you do so well

very very good

please, technical information!

But if you want to be popular, make a walt disney-like face to this tree with big teeth and eyes.

[ReSeT]

Very professional work as usual. As I mentioned on blendpolis, the image is a little bit too desaturated, but that may be because of my blinded eyes. ;)

I have to agree with that. For further details go over to blendpolis and read them. ;)

nice job :thumbsup:

[dml]

great job !! i like the colors and the atmosphere :thumbsup:

[Deathcricket]

Nice job indeed, it almost looks like you painted this on a canvas. The only part that is pretty obviously 3d is the water. I also agree with the comments about it not being evil enough.

I see the bow there, that is a good start. How about integrating a skull into the branches, or some bones? Even some more bits of armor scattered about the forest area might help. It just looks like a nice tree and not evil and twisted as you might imagine.

Very nice piece though, love the artistic flare and subject material :)

P.S. That is a bow in the middle area sitting in the water right? Looking a 2nd time it might be a couple well placed roots?

[Nick 13]

beautiful render man, just beautiful

[Strategoi]

Great, I love this scene so much. It really does look like it was painted onto a canvas. Everything is so utterly perfect,(except for the water and the roots going into the water but people already noticed that)
Good-job @ndy and please post wireframes I wanna see.

[artificial3D]

nice job

i liked it :bounce:

[jkyoutsey]

That's probably the best non-human organic modeling I've ever seen.

Kudos.

If I hadn't seen the wires I would have had to say that it was just a painting.

Now animate a breeze blowing those leaves softly back and forth with a deep wood moaning and creaking sound and you got creepsville!

[artificial3D]

thank you qur & jkyoutsey!
