Description Before I add to much to this I'll stop here :L
Twilight is kinda derp faced lol but I'm very pleased with the picture overall
I don't think I've seen a semi-realistic representation of the tree library yet so I thought this would be worth the effort, guess I didn't do too bad.

The image is 3656 x 2664 so the file is quite large (4.5 MB) I may upload a scaled down version if need be.
Feel free to download if you like it and maybe even give it a comment or fave ! anything will mean a lot to me.

Thank you ^_^


Was just playing around with some effects on the image and decided to add these, didn't think they were worth a deviation all to themselves so I'll just
leave them here for your viewing pleasure ^_^

I really love the principle of the tree and its roots, and in your picture that's very realistic, congrats

Epic composite is epic.

This is by far the most visually impressive rendition of the Ponyville library I've seen to date. The only aspect that stands out to me is the sudden change of grain/texture between the root and trunk. Great job!

Rain-Gear In reply to TaiyoRawle [2013-02-26 23:17:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much !! That really means a lot since I'm relatively new here Yeah the original had a bit more texture on the roots but when I went to look at trees in the park the roots didn't carry much texture at all on some trees, so I thought I'd just leave it smooth

Did you... draw this? Because I'd believe you if you said you just shopped a bunch of photographs together. I can't imagine how long this must have taken.

Rain-Gear In reply to Greywander87 [2013-02-26 23:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Well it's about 3/4 photos and the main places I had to paint on were in the leaves, the roots windows twilight... etc,
It did take quite a while though :L glad you like it !

Couldn't get the basment to fit?

Also very well done on this. I didn't expect to see good fan art like this. As realistic as you can get without destroying the illusion.

Rain-Gear In reply to Arcolm [2013-02-26 22:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Well actually I did do a version with the basement but for the final version I ended up removing it :L
Thank you yeah I wanted it to look somewhat realistic but stay true to the fantastic style the show puts forward !

angelofrombelow In reply to ??? [2013-02-26 22:27:57 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this is really cool. Ickle Twilight seems almost out of place next to such realism, but she's cute so it's okay.

Rain-Gear In reply to angelofrombelow [2013-02-26 22:32:24 +0000 UTC]

Ah thank you ! Yeah I thought so too but doing her in a realistic fashion looked even more out of place Thanks
