Title: The Forest King
Name: Patrick Lawrence
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

This is an image I started over a year ago. I was stuck for the longest time but finaly had some new ideas so I came back and finished it. Let me know what you guys/gals think and if you have any suggestions.

After getting feedback I updated the image with some new ideas. What do you think?

Well done, Great work! Very beautiful colors ,the texture looks realistic, the lights is also very good. but the knight and the horse looks like sculptures, lack of vitality. Thanks for sharing! I like you work very much. ^.^

Thanks Nekromantik:) You are right this one is not very dynamic. I have plans for some images that are much more dynamic with more story in the future. Now I just need to get a chance to do them:)

It seems to lack a middle ground. The way everything is flat pretty much past the knight takes away from the realism and makes the image seem a little flat. Really like the scene and the models/textures. They're great!

In my eyes it's a corker Patrick.
A UK term for more than rather good.
Looks kind of between 2d and 3d, but is immensely rich and textural, however you came to this result. It's got a knight, it's got trees and a bridge - wha more could a romanticist ask for?
Excellent work.

haha... it was fun.. i spent 10 15 minutes in fotoshop just to check if i was rite or wrong before wrinting anything. then i decided to put my version instead of suggestions list and i might'v ruined the whole image but trust me i tried to make an honest effort on it :) i added colours and glows and darks and lights here and there. :) and thats wat i wanted to say. hehe good luck and keep up good work ...
