For this image I chose to show a couple of traveling companions just settling down after a long day on the trails. They have chosen a site along a river by a waterfall that cascades down the side of the cliff fave behind the camp. However, unknown to them, a goblin has also found the site and has other things in mind than a nice evening around the fire.
I am trying something a little bit new for me. I am attempting a different way of rendering trees. I usually create the trees so that the grain of the bark is easily seen with little thought as to how much detail would be seen due to the lighting. For this image, I am following the work of Franklin Booth. He created 3d looking trees by the way that the light would wrap around the tree.
Check back soon for the finished piece and news on other pieces I am working on.
