Title: The night is almost over...
Name: Maarten Knops
Country: Netherlands
Software: Maya, Photoshop

Hello fellow artist,

As most of my work this started with a simple sketch of a little theater were the "sunrise-curtain" was raised for the next scene.

While I was working on it, it slowly grew to big for the theater ;-)
After about 30 hours this was the end result...

The clouds and the kid i copy pasted from photo's (of course i adjusted the colours, shadows, etc) And the out of focus in the front is alse done in photoshop

Everything else is Maya. For the trees paint effect was used

Hope you like it! comments are most welcome!

greetings,
Maarten

I like the idea. Enjoyable lighting too...in a situation where lighting is kind of surreal and probably hard to hit on the mark. Should've modeled the kid, though, instead of just copy and paste. To each his own, I guess.

First of all thanks for the comments en critics! :-)

I've tried the model the kid in maya, so it would fit in better in the image. But after many hours i just didn't get it the way i wanted it. It looked more like a grown up then a kid...think i need much more practice modeling humans...so therefore a photo is used (for now.. ;-)

But oneday i will replace with 3d model! :-)

(So FrankCSlimski youre absolutly right with your comment )
