Reply With QuoteI like the style, the snow especially looks very impressive. Wouldn't it make more sense though to have that watermill placed on the other side of the bridge, where one would expect the river current to be stronger?
March 2010 Challenge Entry: Winter in Iwaizumi
Heya, found inspiration and time again to start working on this months entry. It is gonne be 3d-ish again but wanted to see if i could use sketch-up to help me out on the perspective a bit. First I did some research on Japanse art, houses and stuff. After that I started with a version to figure out how to draw/color/paint it to give it the look-n-feel i'm aiming at and finally I did a 1st sketch-up mockup to be used as basic overlay in PS to get the buildings in the right perspective. Next I need to figure out how to piece things together and make it look more 'mappy'. Maybe i'll do a complete top-down view .. then again maybe not... well, lets see where this goescheers!

hehe thanks guys .. and Ascension please dont quit(i know you'll get yer 'mapping-fire' burning again soon enough) ... another update. colored the stuff (its getting kinda 'flat' though so maybe a need some changes on that), river color needs work still too. most of linework done (still some areas need a bit of work) and handpainted a regional map. Now it's finishing touches, finding composition for all elements, etc... i think i'll be able to finish this in time
