Description
I guess I'm in a movie mood. This is based on Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
Vue D'Esprit 4.1/Photoshop 6
This is really a mixed medium picture. The labyrinth and background were created in Vue. I used a black and white maze as a terrain and then turned it upside down. The owl is painted from scratch in Photoshop 6 using a reference from one of the Labyrinth posters, but as always it was not traced or painted over. Postwork was also done in Photoshop.
Comments and Suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks for looking... Credits: Image created by ShadowWind based on a poster for Jim Henson's Labyrinth Castle by Helmut Schwab, textured in Vue

Very nic pic, especially the painted owl earns my respect! :)
ShadowWind
I wanted the picture to just be a hint of the film, rather than a recreation of the poster, and in that quest, left out the goblin city...Sorry...

Personally - your skills and abilities to capture such exquisite renditions from both TV series and Films is highly commendable my friend, and almost criminal that your work isn't being featured by the shows and studios who create the originals. Your work could easily grace any advertising poster that Hollywood produces to promote their celluloid and taped offerings. This time - I'm happy to say I have seen Labyrinth - but of course that was many years ago. This render and sophisticated painting is filled with charm, excellent colors and magical style - bravo Shadow - BRAVO!!!

Beautiful effect. Nice work.
HobbyHopper
Wow, beautiful image. I know the gLabyrinthh. Combination of owl and dark forest is usual scene but this is another nice idea. I like to see the next scene. Shorter width of display as this image is good idea for express of depth. Thank you friend. I like your images. ...........Excellent.

Exceptional work, ShadowWind. The technical skills that went into creating this image are formidable, both as a digital and as a traditional media artist. But, what I respect most about this particular image is the creative vision behind it. Terrific work!

Awesome! This should be a cover for something, a movie poster or book. Nevermind the movie this is wonderful. The maze down there is really austonding! Thanks for letting me see this one. It really is wonderful.
