this is a scanned pencil drawawing
and then painted in photoshop.

no filters...the only cheat i would say, is using layers and undo.


I hate shrinking stuff down for web...:-\

beautiful!

One crit, maybe upping the brightness in the center would give a better impression on the atmosphere.

That is an amazing image. I love all the stuff that is going on in the center of it. You really did an awesome job on the wood textures, too. The lighting is quite fascinating. I almost wish to see some kind of environment in the background. Perhaps more of them, silhouetted going off into the distance.

Sweet! The branch like things comming off the side really draw your attention to the center! Good texture with them as well. Looks like a certian tree [I cannot think of the name] that has that very thin bark, incredibly smooth. Good job!
