Just keep at it Diego. It's worth it.
Don;t forget the great resources at the ambient forums too. Loads of tutorials and free brushes etc - plus a very friendly bunch who are nearly always willing to offer avice and answers when you ask for it.

For some reason I think of the Temple Run game here. An open vault...where does it lead? Makes me want to find out of jumping into the picture were possible, lol.

There are any number of folk taken to the hospital after trying that WilderGothica. I would suggest getting your screen down onto the floor before even thinking about it.

Erm! Not sure it was this tomb Rabalio. No big rock to roll in front. Can't claim to have been there though so not a definitive 'no'.

Not sure I remember that one, but I bet if I did that it's sneaked out of my subconscious to make this appearance. Ah my lack of memory . . . .

The contrast of the leaf texture really puts the grey elements in high relief. Very clever!

See the answer to SimmonsArt Majeed. In the past I would have indeed spent hours doing all that detail, but it just wasn't available. Deadlines and such . . .

Thank you. Not that big Neil. About 4000px wide I think.
I made a hand drawn sticker brush to do the foliage. An hour or two's work up front to save many more hours drawing and painting it all individually. Needed a lot of fiddling about with to try and integrate it of course.

Now why did I call you Neil, Chris? Go on tell me - I want to know . . .!? I need coffee.

Nickillus In reply to Nickillus [2012-07-09 16:33:10 +0000 UTC]

It's best if you can make some custom brushes yourself, Chris. Then they will fit in better with your other brush strokes. Dig out the excellent tutorial about creating sticker brushes by Someonesane, in the ArtRage forum.

The 'nature2' collection is on the forum resources already if you are desperate for some of my dodgy efforts though. It does have the 'Badhairday' brush in it that I used for some bits in this picture - if that helps. I think the grassy ones are in there too.
