Finished piece for Saimain's contest.
Overall, this took a little over thirty hours, and about a hundred layers (at least). I may post the large piece somewhere, since I don't think this smaller version really does it justice. :\

 SaimainTotal Posts: 127Aug 24, 2007 6:39 pmGah, you know this is gorgeous, but I'm going to say it again. This is gorgeous! ^__^ The whimsical atmosphere and colors really bring out the quiet magic of the setting. I love the idea of the Forest (or perhaps Snoots) creating a flute for him. The way his cloak twists and weaves itself into the tree behind him is fascinating...I adore creative little details like that. |

 PigletTotal Posts: 152Aug 29, 2007 4:00 amBeautiful Inqy! I wish I had the ability to do such convincing backgrounds... it does so much for the whole credibility of a piece of work and lends more solidity to the central characters. A FAV!!! --- |

Inqy (Reply)Total Posts: 231Aug 29, 2007 10:24 pmThank you! I've never been able to do backgrounds any justice, so this year that's what I've been working on the most. ^_^ --- Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. (Iris Murdoch) |
