Description
"Hidden", a small village in the middle of nowhere.I started off with a line drawing in Photoshop 7.
This my first matte, which worked without the use of any photo references. I tried to imagine a
Lord-of-the-rings styled landscape with an asian touch of architecture.
The original is in a 4k-resolution.
Critiques and comments are very welcome!
Thanks for viewing,
Daniel

Ah! You're the guy who 'base paints', or atleast that's what my small circle of CG friends like to call it.
Start with a simple model in 3D, lighting included and then paint the details in Photoshop, right?
Did you do the same for this?
Beautiful piece btw!!

no not at all, I'm mostly drawing my perspective freely. The entire lighting and shading I do in Photoshop.
No 3d programs were involved. But for certain camera projection techniques I'm used to paint on cg bases.
Thanks for the fav and the comments.

Hallo Daniel
Ich finde deine Gallerie umwerfend! Wenn das moeglich waere, wuerde ich die ganze Gallerie favorisieren. Da dies aber leider nicht geht, habe ich mir - fuer heute - dieses Bild ausgesucht. Hier hast du dein selbst gestecktes Ziel nicht nur erreicht, sondern sogar uebertroffen, imo. Und wie die Kommentare hier zeigen, liege ich gar nicht so falsch damit.
Ich werde dich jedenfalls auf meine Watch-List setzen, denn du bist einer der vielversprechendsten jungen Kuenstler, die mir hier bis jetzt untergekommen sind. Ich wollte, ich haette dein Talent...

This was the first work of yours I saw, and it struck me at first as a photograph until I saw it in detail.
Better than a photograph, I love this kind of art. Not only that, but the masterfulk way it's been rendered digitally yet still gives the odd illusion of traditional media, one could really escape into this kind of a serene world. I can definitely see the LOTR inspirations, but it's the vale itself that's enthralling. A marvellous use of textures, again, bringing out the beauty in the foliage.
Fantastic composition,

this really is breathtaking. the light makes what would seem kind of creepy seem comfortable. this seems like it would be an awesome setting for a cabin

wow, you have a very impressive gallery. i'm loving this one because of the general idea of having the houses/huts isolated on an elevated island. the waterfalls are a fascinating touch. overall very eye-catching and a well deserved

I must say, you really did get the LotR feel to it, I thought it ws yodition of Rivendell. This is excelent!

This is what I imagined Rivendell looked like before the LOTR movies destroyed my imaginative ideas. Great work!

Definite :fav:

my two favourite things.....LOTR style fantasy combined with an Asian influence!

so delicate and beautiful. i love how the background receds into light. the bridge in the back is really rather lovely too. the houses are simply gorgeous. they really have such an old warm glow to them. really nice work on the roofs. the water is so nice and playful. it really adds life to the image. the arboreal verdance is so wonderfully detailed. i wonder from where you summoned the patience to do that part. great composition too. i like the feeling of being overhead of this, perhaps in a tree on the mountainside/hillside. very nice. you take me away to your picturesque world.

Awesome. Perfect setup for something hidden. I like the greens and purples in this. I would like to live there.

Wow

Wow that's very good... i saw such a image in my mind when i read a Fantasyroman (long time ago). I think it's very beautiful and a nice view.
Hmm one thing in critique is the sky backround... i think it should be a little bit smoother... but the complete image is so... wow

im not an arty guy, and the only time i look at pics is to get inspiration, and there are very few tht do it for me. This, however is one of thm. SO, im gna use it to write sumat, cud b poetry, cud b prose, i dnt no. will let u nop wen i have writen it. Very well done, its fantastic

Ahh. Very well done in my opinion. Canβt really give you any constrictive criticism since my traditional skills are on the bottom of the pool. I think depth of field is done right and the highlight shown properly. I probably would want to see more details... But I guess this is not the style of this paintingβ¦
