What shiny gold thing? I didn't mean for anything to be gold, but I did overemphasize the bounce light a bit.

I know this might be inappropriate since its for your class but is that grass a texture or a brush? or a texture made into a brush... Its awe inspiring!

I think it's a macro picture of moss I used as an overlay. I thought it would make an interesting and different grass, and I was right.

I love the change of hue in the light sources
What artist did you do this schoolism class under?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm teaching the class, if that's what you're asking.

I originally thought you were a student partaking in one of the schoolism classes, before I looked through your gallery and bothered to notice your full name, under your deviantart name, haha. My apologies!

No problem, I was just confused at the question.

did you paint this entirely or did you use photos as well?
the detail is astonishing

It's a combination of the two. Photo overlays by themselves tend to look really bad, so they can save a bit of time but you still need to do a lot of painting to make it work. In fact this one still needs a bit more work.

I'm looking through your work and I see you don't use it as often as some concept artists.
Would using excessive amount of photos detract from the animated/cartoony feel of the piece at times?

I think photos can add a lot of interest to an otherwise dull scene---but once you've added it to something, you're committed and they have to integrate well. Having one thing in the image with a strict texture overlay and everything else brushy painted just won't work. I think it's also possible to overdo it. The end result is the key: if it's distracting from the piece it's wrong, and if it looks great and helps the piece it doesn't matter how photo-y it is.

Very nice work with colours. Still.. I think the picture could use some more lights in it

when i read books to my 2 year old daughter she often points to the pictures and says "i wanna go in there" ...which is exactly what i thought when i saw this.

Evocative and stunning. The lighting is incredible, especially where it falls in a beam across the gulch. Top-notch work!

I like the face that you put in there. Makes things a heck of a lot more creepy...

Such an enchanting image. I'd love to stumble upon some ancient ruins whist walking in the woods.
