A CG fantasy ...


CG fantasy: uploaded at 2000 pixels -- please see!


Going back to another of the old projects -- a great idea that could simply be done better these days. If you've been following the blog since 2013, you might remember this: La Vie en Rose. Better control over the image as a whole, and a lot more post work improves it enormously. The original is already a good picture, but it's hard and "plasticky." The differences are subtle, but they're well worth reimagining the project. Hand painted hair and eyes, and lots of subtle effects make the 2013 version of this work much superior to the old (which wasn't a bad picture in its own right):


Also, have been working with Bryce, jogging my memory some  more ... boy, do I have some catching up to do:

Bryce 7 Pro: Fairytale landspe
Please do have a look at that, at large size (1600 pixels wide). I call it "Fairytale Landscape." And yes, there's a lot of painting added to the raw render which was also massively rebalanced (gamma, contrast), before I got going in Photoshop.
