Artist's Comments

*phew* It's done! I think it was a few weeks ago that I did the lineart, and I finally colored it. Besides that tree I did in the background experiments, this is the first time I've done any trees & foliage in a full CG. Suggestions would be great, since I had no idea what I was doing... x_X
The sun dapple shadow things were made by taking photos of some trees and using that as a type of shadow map (detailed explination takes tooooo~ long).
Like most pics that end up taking 3 or 4+ days to color, I ended up getting really bored with it and rushed the end... Sigh.

The fairy is my rendition of Puck from Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

That's extremely gorgeous. I mean... extremely. The only thing I would suggest, since you like advanced critique... is the fact that the middle background trees (right behind him) are all the same color as the foreground trees. Maybe a bit more shadow on one of the layers would make it better.

But it's still extremely gorgeous and I want to steal you away. Or... at least your talent :D

Wow ^^ Pretty.

Since you want 'advanced critiques'.. Try taking the lines out and see how it looks. If it still looks great, then bravo - often you'll find something isn't defined enough and looks wierd without the lines. I like the way you've done the tree-bark, very cool :D

Thanks for the idea! I'll try it out the next time I do a full CG like this.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out! I kept looking at the trees for about an hour thinking "I know something looks strange in the hue but wtf IS it?!"
:D Maybe that's it.

Really cool! I think it all looks great! The tress look almost transparent, like you can see the branches behind them. It really adds to the picture, almost like the forest in enchanted.

i'm really impressed... Perhaps the foreground trees should have been a little darker to addl more deepth in the forest, but then you could loose the semi transparent effect, and i don't known if it was meant.
I absoluty love the character. He's exactly what I imagine when thinking about him.
Wonderful job.
