Description I did this image quite a while ago actually, and many of my friends lately have encouraged me to show this one. They like it and I hope you do too. This is painted in Photoshop over a pen drawing, two pen drawings actually. One was the trees and the other was the mist, which I inverted to light colors for the "misty" effect while preserving the design of the line drawing. This was a simple and fun technique. C & C's are welcome. Please enjoy.

It was a really strange idea, and had two almost conflicting styles that I integrated. I had the idea to have little floating islands of trees...with a mist surrounding them. This was instead of the regular idea of trees popping up out of a lake. Too much Neverending Story I guess. So, yeah, I did the trees first and painted them with some textured brushes. Then I did the mist separately and overlayed it as a smooth and subtle lighter value. The part I dislike is the tops of the trees...they are obviously underdone. The part I like the most would have to be the designs of the mist. I really enjoy that part of the mist on the foremost tree trunk...where it covers the rocks in the trees. It was also fun to make a little bit of a face in the left tree using the rock idea. Lots of fun.
