Hello,
Can we see orginal pictures please ?
It's quite good but you can do more i think. Look at the big shadow on the foreground, nothing looks like to done this shadow, from where is it coming ?

[Mdalaran]

Looks great...

I have seen this one before somewhere on the net... is it al painted... or photoref... and could you show the pictures...

Greetz,

Hi all!

Pilou: I can't post here the original pictures because this MP was done 2 years ago and i don't keep these :?

Mdalaran: Ya, there is a base photoref + painted layers on this MP.

StickyLabal: Can you say me what is apparently wrong is this matte?

Tchook, mioleüs: Good to see u, masters :D
thx all!

I don't see anything "wrong" with it myself - in fact, the only criticism, (the large shadow in the foreground) I actually find to be one of the strengths of the shot. It implies a world beyond the edge of the frame (because SOMETHING huge is casting that shadow).

I really like this piece.

I'm another who likes this painting. Would love to see the original plate as well...

Nice work Ben!!
The forest is really amazing!

[Stalsby]

i agree with moondog, the shadow leaves more for the imagination and wonder!!! im thinking a huge castle or somethin is casting the shadow which is cool
