Title: The Swamp
Name: Dan Skinner
Country: USA
Software: Painter, Photoshop

I had this inspiration to do something on the order of the Ridley Scott Movie "Legend" where the hero meets ancompletely unexpected foe in the swamp. Here, lighting is everything to cast a supernatural feel. All the elements have to feel preternatural so I decided to go with alot of behind the scenes lights, then dramatic beneath the scene lights to capture the feeling of the immense serpent neath the water. I did about 50 layers here, all lit differently to capture the unearthly feel. The model was immensely morphed. I had pictures from trees in Vicksburg Tennesee for a backdrop, and then alot of the swamp was handpainted. Total hours 36.
