Description For The Far Wild . Painted in Photoshop almost entirely, with a little bit of matte. I learned alot from this piece, trying to get the most realistic lighting and water reflection without reference. I'm happy with it.

In the far away land of warriors and socceries, those who seek glory in the Underworld must venture through the dreaded passage of the Great Swamp. Rumors has that, only those who gained the favor of the enchantress may cross the swamp on great lilies.

I think this is just stunningly beautiful - my favourite of all your work so far. The colours, lighting and just the general composition makes me feel as though I was actually there. Kudos to you and your awesome skill!
My favourite bit is that gorgeous little area at the back where the water is reflecting the light - you've nailed it!

I still wonder how she got onto that leaf, but i guess people who can do electrogenese can do some more pretty cool tricks^^

well.. she's one of the enchantress, so the lily will carry her across as she will.

Whoa. Incredibly haunting and atmospheric. The colour palette is gorgeous, you really feel the humidity and even sounds of the place. Amazing details, must've taken you such a long time! And the water reflections are so clear, all in all a great painting

good job! Love all the neat rendering of the water!
Square format, that's daring, but you pulled it of nicely. I guess the format was part of the commission...?

thanks man. i've probably gotten too dull from seeing this while working - too much and screw up the combined style. thanks for pointing it out. something to keep in mind. ^^
