Description This work is based on ~o0Crofty0o 's beautiful scene, which I wanted to give more atmosphere. I really loved that scene, very inspiring and I also love to add a few effects to such scenes. Makes me practice lights and shadows, somehow.

Here's the original work:



Credits go to her of course. I added a few layers for glow and glare, shadows, haze and little other light effects.

EDIT: Added some more haze. It's a beautiful morning, don't you think?

EDIT: Added horse's breathe. (Yeah, it's a little cold.)

Hope you like. Download for full size.

Dedicated to you, Alma .

Merci beaucoup. C'est le genre de truc que j'aime encore bien. Dans ce cas-lร , c'รฉtait vraiment le coup de foudre . De plus, ~o0Crofty0o est vraiment douรฉe, elle aussi.

Merciiii. J'avoue que je suis particuliรจrement fier de celle-ci . En fait j'adore ajouter des effets de lumiรจre et d'ombrage, c'est par รงa que j'ai commencรฉ avant mรชme de passer au dessin ร  la tablette. Une espรจce d'entraรฎnement.

Credits all go to ~o0Crofty0o of course โ€” she does an incredible job at exporting and adapting 3D models from all kinds of games. All I did was add shadows/hilights/haze. But that's the kind of cool things you can do. But you can as well make the background yourself too.

I really love what you've done with the lighting! It's a huge improvement on the original piece in a sense that it brings it all together (the characters look less 'placed' on the background) and gives it a much stronger focal point in the center of the piece. Plus adds a nice atmosphere
Very cool!

Thank you very, very, very much for your comment. You can't imagine how much I appreciate your compliment! I think I'll love this picture even more now .

Just one thing I've realized: I forgot the horse breath . After I added haze, which supposes it's a bit colder, I completely forgot about that!

SereneCave [2011-02-08 22:51:57 +0000 UTC]

These lighting adjustments look really good. The figures fit a lot better with the background. It's much more cohesive.

Thank you very much. I do appreciate and it means a lot. With time I'm now closer to the goal I imagined and your comment tells me I'm heading towards the right direction !

Really like the effect you added there ! I think it definitely helps with the mood and it also helps the character become part of the background better

Hey nice work on this one, the lighting really adds atmosphere, that lens flare is kinda off tho, and not really necessary. Anyway, good job

JAMsEye In reply to captdiablo [2011-02-05 18:28:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. Yes, I pretty much like the lighting. You're right about the lens flare. I wanted something a little more discreet though but couldn't make it with the number of circles. I'll try again for that's a feature I don't use very often. At worst I'll drop it .
