fantasy landscape
Amazing! I got to ask... how did you do it?
Looks like a photoshop drawing, but kinda looks like a rendering
I'm 99% sure this is painted only in Photoshop with simple brushes (round hard/soft brush), except for maybe some cloudwork in the background (texture or preset brushes), although it could also be painted.
@boman: Yeah, it's a photoshop painting. Standard round brushes and some custom texture brushes for the grass, clouds and water.
iQew: Thank you for the thorough critique. Where are you learning this stuff? I'd like to read what you're reading. Yeah, I can see what you are saying with not having a selling-point. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Same with the rocks being a distraction, and the lack of human scale. Greatly appreciate your comments.
I just read and watch a lot related to art. Whether it's advertisement strategies/psychology or about traditional landscape painting, I watch it, if I don't know about the contents already. Also, I've been writing many many analysises for amateur to high skilled photographers on the web.
In school, I've been doing some ghost writing for people (from C's to straight A's, whatever they needed), so they didn't have to fail the course. Even on the internet for people I don't even know. Been writing tutorials here and there etc.
Another great piece. My feedback: the edge control of the stones in the foreground really let them pop out and the contrasts are well chosen, making it a believable scene. However, I wonder what this scene is really showing, there is no clear selling-point in there, which makes it feel quite empty (on purpose?).
Also, I can't stop the feeling that this piece would feel more complete, if you get rid off the two tombstone-ish rocks on the left side (midground), they're distracting too much from the nice round flow of the water. However, it's the right spot for the selling-point, as the majority of the compositional elements point towards it.
It's really hard to judge on sizes in this piece, because there's no element related to human-size in there.
Finally, I love the "gradient" going from high details in the foreground to shape-only in the background, well done. The same applies to how you textured things, the different materials are very clear to understand and differentiate.
