my process
I'll usually start out with a simple sketch
After that, I'll start defining everything, adding depth.
Kinda forgot to save one of the steps there, so it's a big jump on the side with the trees. I decided not to go with the flowers.
Yeah foliage...
Bringing life to the trees.
The darker I went with the trees, the more I realized I needed to go darker on the opposite side. So, I went with a darker gray and also worked on the grass.
The rocks were probably my favorite part in this picture. Not having a picture as a reference really forced me to be creative on this part.
Adding a little more detail...
Starting to get a feel for what I'm doing now, so I started adding texture...
More texture...
Added the finishing touches to the rocks and started on the fence (the fence was done on a different layer on top of the main layer).
Put the finishing touches on the fence and started to add the lava erupting, dripping, and the flow underneath.
Lava is cool. I started to make the trees a little darker, trying to get a feeling of depth in the picture.
More details...
Added our cowardly fellow walking the fence, brightened up the trees a little bit, and abra kadabra "Indecision" is complete. :-)
So, what do you think? Visit the "Contact Us" section and let your voice be heard.
Some people have showed interest in seeing how I do what I do. So, this is a kind of a "play by play" to show everyone my process. I'm sure there is a better way, so this is not a tutorial, just a little insight in how my projects come about.
