another picture of the gnome-tale... this is the secret city in the dhara-lake. here rules hereija, the nymph of the lake. her subjects are the squarrs, strange creatures, kind of a "human fish". a gnome, drawing water at the lake, gets hypnotized of the nymph's voice and went into the deep lake. there, a squarr gives her herbs to breath under water and drags her to the castle of the nymph....... why mixed medium? i rendered the base pictures with bryce and poser. but the whole szene, lightning, colors, most textures etc. are painted in photoshop. in my gallery you’ll find a pic with the rendered base models and photos of which this picture contains of… please view full size! there are so many details on it… if you look closely, you can see lots of squarrs swimming around. in photoshop, this pic had a size of about 3000x2000 pixels, nearly 200 megabyte, over 15 sets with an average of 20 layers. i think, i’ll make a collage of miscellanous parts of the pic… but later :) do you have tips to improve this image? please tell me! every critical (and of course non-critical ^^) comments are more than welcome!!! (and also correction in english grammar! don’t let me write nonsense! but I’m trying my best… ^^) thank you for looking!
