D³SCR!PTION

This one was actually intended to be a fantasy novel book cover. So i was going for a portrait setup... instead of a cinemascope one. Though i prefer the cinemascope crop. Whatever. There's actually no big story behind that pic. I started to work with some of my new mountain stocks which i got from a trip into the alps recently. Stitched together some photo elements and extended them with paintings. With lots of scifi stuff from me in the past... this pic should be a nice addition to my gallery. Since it's more fantasy based.


TECHN!CAL DETA!LS

I guess you could call this thing a digital matte painting. I wouldn't do so. It's a strange mixture of pure painting and pure matte painting. Well i, at least, can tell that i worked a lot with matte painting techniques. The top of the mountain is a complete extension. The path in front is 80% painted. I did not work too much into detail on that path in front since too much detail would have stolen the show the background actually gives you. Again i tried lot of new things and i think i got a acceptable result.

I want to know how God created this world. I am not intrested in this or that phenomenon. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details.

There's only a few true vampires and no Cullens are on that list. Besides, Jareth the Goblin King is the only one who can pull off OMGMANSPARKLES!!! and still be considered believably wicked.

What if the background was a bit darker So the light on the left would stand a bit more to it self, and for the contrast in the image
