Description

I did this piece to play with lost and found, and to tell a little story that doesn't appear at first glance. I took quite awhile on those trees, as they were painted in Photoshop branch by branch. I of course used some tricks as well to save myself from headaches! ; ) This was done completely in Photoshop from an initial sketch, and I used some references of forests and fog to get the atmosphere that I desired. I hope you enjoy it!

Imagine your own story danheacock! This one is really wonderful. I don't see any crit to say. Specially the smog and trees are more than great. Top Marks (with a big T and a big M). But please specify what software and refs you used.

Wow, very nicely done! I love the fading effect with the background trees in the fog. Do you have a larger version of this posted anywhere?

Would be perfect if two pairs of trees weren't exactly the same...


Kidding, great job.

Awesome work Nathaniel

The colours look so reallike and 'common',
very hard to do such thing

Great composition and lighting
The perception of depth is incredible
