Well… What can I say? :drool:
Another one like this and I’m quiting…

[size=2]I just love what you did with the light! [/size][size=2]It blows me away every time[/size][size=2] how people actually manage to paint it. :slight_smile:

Are you going to make the animation?

Not a big fan of the waste barrels but otherwise really nice. For one thing everything else is old and overgrown but the barrels seem very pristine and clean… I would think something floating in water for so long would have rusted some :slight_smile:

Thanks Sonia that is one of the nicest compliments I have ever had. I only started digital painting in November so no animation for me, I wouldn’t have the slightest clue how to go about it.

Cole- valid point for sure on the barrels, that has been bugging me also. They look like they have just been dumped there… maybe they have. I will try to find some time to age them more.

ok we now have barrel aged biohazard waste :slight_smile: Hopefully they look a little better now and not so spanking new.

Well done! I love the color of the water, it really looks like the type of still and shallow ponds you find in big forests. Excellent decision. I think maybe the background trees seem a little out of perspective with the building but that could be a matter of collapse.

Congrats and getting finished!

Thanks Keating, the base for the water before I painted over it is from a photo I took in the woods of a pond at the base of a little waterfall. The colors in the photo are quite amazing all red reflections from fall colors. The trees are big I know , but have to consider they are old trees and trees dont’ stop growing just because they want to stay the size of things around them. I went back and forth on them, should they be smaller… my poor brain. I decided to leave them big though.

Looking amazing, but I think the size of the many leaves really messes with the scale. The leaves are either huge, or the ruins are very small. This is especially true for the large background trees (which would be fine if it weren’t for their leaves), and the vines.


#88

well done. Really nice mood in this image. Good luck !


#89

Thanks Inlakechh :slight_smile:

Ok after all the tree comments I would be a pretty crappy learner if I didnt’ listen. I changed the background trees to smaller ones.
