Artwork Works in Progress

Well, this is my first WIP… it’s a photoshop composite including 3D scenes so I don’t know if it should be in WIP or traditional. Anyways…

If you sized down the file a bit, I would love to check it out, but to expect someone to wait 10 minutes for the thing to load is expecting too much. Some people still use dial-ups. :wink:

Oops… sorry. Here’s some smaller ones w/ filesizes.

At least I didn’t post the 40M photoshop file… :smiley:

Thanks. :wink: It’s cool, but I am seeing one major problem,…the water level on the left is indeed lower than the water level on the right. :o

I’m pretty sure thats an optical illusion. The bigger issue is that the reflections are completely wrong. Pieces of the “sun” which are quite obviously obscured by the rocks, are clearly visible in the reflection. But then again…this is supposed to be “surrealistic” so maybe thats intentional?

Erm… no. I must’ve forgotten to mask those parts off. :expressionless: I’ll put that on my list of stuff to do. I’ve also checked the horizon… it’s perfectly level. Next time I get to the lab I plan to put some buildings and stuff on the larger rock and some ships in the water to balance the image.
