Artist's Comments

From horror, beauty is born...



This is my entry for the 'Fantasy Landscape' contest that :iconvvirtual: posted last month and invited me to join. I really appreciate the invite and attention. :)

The thumbnail sketches that led me to this point can be found here: [link]

I would also like to thank :iconmjranum-stock: for allowing anyone to use his stock for reference. I have a beautiful and full bodied faerie thanks to his beautiful photography of full-bodied models. :p

This took around 20hrs of work in Photoshop CS3 over the past 3 weeks whenever I had a free moment.

Please click Download for the 'Wallpaper' size version. ;)

Unique and preacious is the composition of this Faerie Birthing Grounds by *ApneicMonkey. The colour scheme is simply gorgeous, and the shapes desgined are original, but also natural, creating an harmonious atmosphere. (Suggested by =Atramina and Featured by ^archanN)

Wallpaper indeed. It fits perfectly with my wide screen LCD. Keep me updated on how you do in the contest.

I can see the 20 hours of effort you put into this, and the faerie looks sweet as well on top of the lighting and textures throughout the landscape.
