Description

Someone's seen the Two Towers a bit too often! I Did this mainly in Photoshop and Painter 8 - the latter of which I've just bought and am still playing with. Btw - whatever made me choose the name "Sardine" for a handle? Real name's Nick! This is my first pic for Renderosity.

Very cool Ent. Curious if this is primarily photo manipulation - or was it done from scratch... Interesting image and quality work in either case.

Welcome ;) it's nice to see you....this has some very smooth touches and the textures are an excellent choice..I'd also like to know if this was done from scratch...it looks to be from some sort of photo ...??

Thanks for the friendly welcome, guys! (and gals!). To answer the points raised - yes the pic is manipulated from a photo. It is mirrored, as you've probably guessed, I put the eyes in but the mouth is natural. For those of you into the symbolism of these sort of pics - the tree is an Oak intertwined with a Hawthorn on an eroded river bank (Derbyshire, UK) - I have an interesting version from the side view - I'll be putting up tomorrow. I've been into Photoshop for about 5 years but have only recently been doing serious stuff - mainly faeries and Goth - which I hope to show you in due course.
