It took 3 hours, 4 textures, original brushes and "no-idea-of-what-so-ever" to create this piece. The picture is pure Photoshop although it would have been a place to excercise modeling skills ( too bad I have none :? ).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The full sized image is 700kb, so it's a link (spared you with slow connections :wink: )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made a new version. Changed the grass. Now it's 3 textures, instead of 4. :wink:

This one is just a teaser, check the full sized to see the detail (and how blurry it is :oops: )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please comment. I wan't to know how to improve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally I don't like the background. I just couldn't get anything suitable there and the solution used is probably the worst thinkable. It's there to form a contrast between the pure water and ugly human structures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I quite fancy the water however

Bigger font i think? tiny font on a big picture hehe.

did you check the full sized image? I don't feel in anyway that it would require a bigger font, since it's only the name.

hmmm...........nice!!!!!!! actually i dun think the bg looks that bad and i like the text also...gj

its really good good job, maybe grass needs a little work. But it looks really realistic especially when its minmized.Good work

Nice pic! When I looked at the grass it looked like lines and lines of the same pattern over again. You should change that if you could. I cant really find anything else wrong with it.

The grass is an old texture I found on my HD. It's on its own layer so I can swap i quickly if I can get a better one.

Really nice, pure photoshop you say? Nice :)

 

 

 

Thats all hand made?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The building has a bit fake look, but not too much, so it still looks good.

 

 

 

The grass could use a bit of work though, bit mroe variation, bit of colour variation perhaps? And height variations..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The overall piece is looking good, original concept, I dont think many people on this board have done such a thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the water, it kinda looks like its a photograph with a timer function on it, and then photographed streaming water..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good job :) :D

Very nice peice man. The building is all done in PS? Too good to be true 8)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the water. At first i couldnt see how it was done, but now im noticing all the little details and little things. How long did this peice take? Im guessing allot :shock: EDIT: Missed that part of were you said 3 hours :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9/10. A very nice, semi-original peice. Good job :wink:

thanks DH and royal!! Fixing the grass as I get off from work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who says begging doesn't work? :wink:

New grass now. Done with the brush which is quite apparent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better?
