Description
sorry about adding so much artwork. i only have a couple of days to play around till i go back to both my jobs.on this one i decided to go back to an old picture i did when i was doing photo manipulations. here is the link if you want to see the original [link] i wanted to make a more realistic looking picture and not so fantasy.
how i did it.
(i have had so many people asking how i did my last two renders)
to make the island i created two mountains and turned one upside down and much more rugged than the one on top. i flattened the mountain on top and added grass and flowers and two trees. on the bottom i added some dried grasses. i added the figure i created in DAZ for the Reading Tree.
on the ground i just used the vegetation skin to make it look like the island is quite high.
i added clouds and placed the island in them to make it look like the island is flying in the clouds.
i lowered the light and placed it in front and a little to the side to make it look like mid afternoon.
try making your own flying island. if you do please note me so i can see.
female made in DAZ 4.5
the background and island created in Vue 10
rendered in Vue 10
a very small amount of levels done in Photoshop CS5
thank you for looking

I was asking myself how your reading girl will leave when she finishes the book, also how she got there in the first place. Flown or telepotation?
Then I noticed that this small land reach the left border of the image. Maybe isn't a island after all, but a peninsula connected to land by a bridge reading girls can walk true? Β Β Β Β

hahaha that is clever. well as you know it is justΒ a picture. because the island is floating i'm sure it must hit another mountain or cliff once in a while so she can get on or off. or maybe she has a rope latter she uses when she wants to get down. hahaha.

A rope! That would do the trick.
I had not taking into account this possibility.Β

I'm taking a 1.5 year program for animation and 3d modeling. Most likely will be using maya and maybe zbrush depending on the order of my classes.
