Description
Yes, I admit, I cut a few too many corners on my previous render of this scene! I took
MollyFootman's observations and ran them through my thought process and rendering works
and also did some more serious but not too drastic modification in Photoshop. I'm not
sure if this revision works or not. If you care to compare this one to my previous one
and let me know what your take is, I would be most humbly greatful.
With that in mind, let me also reiterate my gratitude to Darkglass for creating this
fine ai castle background and sharing it with me here. My hat is off to him for sure!
Thank you for taking a peek! Your support is greatly appreciated!

This absolutely looks as stunning as the previous one! Even though the colors on this one are less saturated as compared to the richer and brighter colors of the previous one, I still like them both...the shadows turned out great!
Just as I pointed out in the other image, your collaboration with Darkglass is certainly one you will both have to repeat as the results of both of you talented artists working together turned out so well! :-)

I prefer the brighter version - this one could do with just a little bit more light on the characters
Darkglass
Superb revised version, well done Bill, I should have taken a little longer with the backgrounds, and made clarity sharper, maybe next time, you still have a few to do as yet.... :)

the tracks on the road in the other image didn't bother me, I figure carts and rolling/dragging happens on roads. the shadows weren't that bad, really. I do a lot of mixed medium art and shadows are always a challenge, at least there WERE shadows; lots of people don't even try to put shadows in their images so bravo for having shadows at all. the clarity and sharp focus of AI is completely different than other mediums; it's going to be a while before AI can truly blend with other images. (I struggled with the same issues in my latest uploads) the colors were brighter in the other version, the dresses looked like rich velvet, and the darkness in the forest was appealing to me, but the light is adjusted in this one, so... I guess like them both. you did a great job of combining images in both.

Both versions are beautifully done but this is the one I prefer, the atmosphere is softer. I agree with Johnny, you have to repeat your collaboration with Darkglass you are both very talented artist !!

Heh. Well you know I like this one better than the last version. =)

Very nice! Love the mist. And the shadows. It looks like the King is going somewhere. Perhaps to battle. The trees and the background look really awesome.
