Welcome on board Milan, can’t wait to see what you have in store 
- Dave.
i know some of you guys are quite a bit ahead.
i undistorted the plate and started cleaning the floor.
more to come
Nice to see an accurate approach, always good 
Don’t feel rushed by everyone else, to be honest it works out around two weeks per stage, so no rush really. The whole rabbit and tortoise story springs to mind 
sorri peoplez. i got a freakin’ eye infection and i fell back on my work as well as on this challenge. it burns looking at a screen right now. unfortunatly, i’m not even done cleaning the plate. but they gave me some i drops and i should be able to work with my eyes shut as well. i have only limited time i can spend infront of a screen, so i couldn’t look what everyone else has been up to. sure as hell am behind a lot. matt and levi are probably done by now. i’ll catch up once the white of my eye is somewhat white again and i met my other deadlines. sorri…
I broke my right hand about a year ago, and that was a very frustrating (and painful) experience. I recall saying the only thing worse would have been a damaged eye(s) (considering the silly obsession we are in). Get well soon 
thank you, leo. am getting better…
i’m sure everybody has been doing some research
but i thought i’d share some more info:



Sorry to hear about your eyes! But glad to hear you’re feeling better. Eye trouble is a pain seeing as one tends to be using them constantly. Rest 'em good!
Thanks for the reference images - good stuff.

thank you mark, sónia and linda. i was better, caught up on my concept work and even found some time to work on this. unfortunatly, my eyes had a fall back and i spent a night at the hospital emergancy room. since, i have been taking antibiotics and my vision was blurry all week. but life doesn’t pause or wait for you.
however, i am not even done cleaning the plate yet. today i feel a bit better,
so i’ll try to get some’ done. thank you for your support.
i cleaned up. but i’m sure people are sick of this image by now…

ahh yay you are back, feeling better I hope
Now get busy and bust out with something that will make us all cry ha ha
That’s some great reference there! Blimey I wish I’d seen that when I was doing the clean plate part…

as for reference, most of mine is cambodia
but i am most likely to combine the look with some yucatan.
Isn’t that house in the roots great? I have that on my pc, can’t remember what I was searching for at the time but came across that pic and thought it was so cool I had to save it 
linda - yes, agkor wat is amazing. and full with land mines around it, as i heard.
the plate is currently 3208x3008px, which is going to change soon.
That’s tasty. Nice idea and comp. No crits here.
Am I seeing a Mayan temple pyramid in the background?
I like the whole comp. Very nice approach. Different to what I would have pictured. Feels pleasing to see sky. I very much like the style for the foliage right now, and i’m sure it will only get better, keep going!!!
