July / Aug '18 Lite Challenge: The Stones of Melenor

[Mimine]

### Winner ###

Final!

"Once a year, when the time has come, the Stones start to shimmer in their usual bright blue light. All around them, the grass slowly frosts, and the petals of the small yellow flowers ice up and become as white as swan's wings. Then, gusts of wind bring snow whirlwinds from the sky and spread them all over the Lands of Melenor. The spirit of the old mage never liked autumn and spring, so he decided to change seasons his own way."

I know it is not perfect as I would have wanted it to be, however it was a very good practice for perspective, color, buildings, water, etc. I am still very proud of the final results!
*Yes, I didn't have much time left, so the seasons change ON THE SAME MAP! Crazy, I know*

I don't think I really noticed before how your clouds are reflected in the water. Nice!

This turned out great! I love the coloring. Just so much detail, so much work, & I agree with Bogie, you should be proud.

This is amazing! I love all of it, but especially the mountains and the water (your river is particularly impressive). Did you color in Photoshop/GIMP or did you go the old-fashioned route?

Thank you very much! I did it all in Photoshop, it has been my lover for a long time, and I'm afraid I can't part with it Also, I am not as good with traditional art as I am with digital!
