Can't take too much credit for the background for it was foggy to begin with.....but it took a bit of engineering to make the castle fit in   I am trying to fit a fuzzy member into most of my work now.  If I am remembered for one thing here on DA, I hope it's animal compassion

Andrew....I don't know what is going on but the quality of Music is hideous compared to what I uploaded!!  There are black marks on her face that aren't there !!

What would you like to know about these pieces?

First I find the model that intrigues me and then settle on a fitting background.  All 3 of these are fairly simple with the background intact but 1 or 2 of them I added dark clouds.  Placed the model where I would be able to provide a shadow, added appropriate highlights from where I felt the light source was best to come from.  The 3rd one needed a foreground to accommodate the model.

Maybe give me some specific questions and I will try to help

i like your work and style so maybe thats what got me curious to ask about those two pieces with the castles  
i am very inspired by other artists work on here as with what i am doing with my its a whole new world i am seeing pieces done on that kind of scale

Andrew there is quite a bit of painting in those pieces above.  If the stock doesn't quite fit, they can make it fit with paint.  Unfortunately I have zero talent in that area so I have to rely on manip tricks and treasures...

most of those images i shared are from people already watching me  
any way do you want to try some of my premade backgrounds to see if you can get a stock model to work with them

I sure will check them out Andrew.....  I try not to use premades too often because I am so much more challenged when I HAVE to make them blend.  But it doesn't hurt to keep one's options open
