Phil strikes back! Man, I love your works...really brilliant. Your woods are full of mysticism and fantasy. I think to myself: "Where the hell does this guy live? Fangorn forest?". The walkthrough is also brilliant. Thanks for gifting us with it.
+5

Thanks so much for the encouraging words guys, much appreciated.

Goncalo, cheers - for me it's always about trying to improve on the last ;)

Hey Andreas, good to see you man - Fangorn, eh? I wish! You can imagine how blown away I was by the job they did for the movies - talk about nailing it! Hope you're well mate.

Here's a crop of a detail - 50% of final res -
