### Latest WIP ###

The common room at the Stout Jester inn, in the town of Raford, in a nearby kingdom.

I basically chose the most mundane-sounding item on my list and tried to make the most unnecessarily elaborate picture I could think of based on that item.

Aaah, that's something different ! I would have loved to see a WIP for this, but it's already amazing to see as it is

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

RE: MistyBeee:

I don't normally post "Works In Progress" unless it's for tutorial purposes, but I figured I'd generate a graphic which hopefully demonstrates how I manipulated various SketchUp renders in Photoshop in order to make the picture:

I spent about 8-10 hours on this project between SketchUp and Photoshop. You can find my backlog of SketchUp models that I've uploaded to 3D Warehouse at the link below:

I replaced the 2D-looking trees within the townscape in the upper left corner with 3D-looking trees. That's it. The rest is unchanged.

Oh wow, Wiser, thanks for the wip/tut ! You're answering a question I'm asking to myself for years about those kind of pictures, thanks a lot ! That's a clever technique, and the result is awesome
