Description
EDIT: Changed the lighting a bit and made the lanterns have a pink glow instead of a soft white. Thought it would be more fantasy like that.First and foremost, I want to say that I was inspired by Dusk-Of-Eternal-Life by . Clearly mine isn't as high of quality as his however, I always love the colors and glow in his works and I felt like this was good practice.
Secondly, I want to mention that this piece was created for Short Challenge 46

Wow!! Looks like I am on a roll lately. Feels good because I had been participating for a while with no wins at all in any contest. I always enjoy the short challenges and you always pick the best stock for them. These short challenges are always an actual challenge for me but I know they are helping me improve and giving me the confidence my work I need to do better. Thank you!

Wow, this is a spectacular fairy scene! The colors and lighting are stunning,
and I am envying that awesome glow effect.

Thank you so much! I struggle so much with glow effects and this piece took me a very long time. I almost did not make the contest deadline because the glow was giving me so much trouble. The glow kept coming out either too contrasted and bright or it was too dim and didn't look like it was glowing. Part of me still thinks it's a little too bright and contrasted but it's the best I could do. I will continue to practice getting the perfect glow in my work. Thank you so much for the support and I am very happy you like my work.

Wow, it's so awesome that my work could inspire you to create something this beautiful. Don't worry about the quality, never compare your work because you did a great job. What I like about this is how you used the colors especially on the mushrooms. I loved the sparkles going around the tree, it's a nice touch. I just love the overall fantasy feel. Good luck in the contest, Amanda.

Thank you so much! I am glad you like it. Your work is very inspiring. I know we all cannot wait for you to drop a tutorial on your glow techniques. The mushrooms in this piece were the hardest for me. I was struggling to make them look like they were glowing. As for the sparkles around the tree, I wanted it to seem like either the fairies were all gathered around the fairy tree or that their magic envelopes the tree. The tree is their home. I tried to use your "Dusk of Eternal Life" (which is one of my favorites from you) and create something that gave me that same magical feeling without mine looking too much like yours. I hope I achieved this. I do not often use other's work as an inspiration. I knew I wanted to do something with the required stock that had to do with a fairy mushroom ring. I was looking through my favorites for stock and saw your piece in my faves folder and I automatically knew what I wanted to do, a magical fairy kingdom hidden away in the middle of a forest. Thank you for being my inspiration.

You're welcome and you're doing a really great job here. Just keep up the good work and practice a lot. I'm glad my work could inspire you to create something this beautiful. And yeah, I might submit my tutorial in a couple days or so. It's a simple manip but the techniques are very effective. I hope you'll find it useful when you see it. I try to make it really simple to follow. So hopefully you'll see how I work
