Description This was designed for the "Seeing Double" contest at @ Level 2.

So I tried to practice shadow casting techniques in this one and clearly I screwed up in several areas, but it doesn't come with a manual. I am also pretty sure I've lost a few or more brain cells in the process.
And as I introduced no obvious source of light as I wanted the scene dark, every element had to undergo several degrees of darkening which I tried my best to balance.
And since the shading made this design take several days it ended up getting jammed with several ideas that came up every now and then, which I may have not organized it's elements in the best way.
Donnu if I quite pulled it off.

Thank you for the awesome stock, and the fave!
I was looking for exactly that wrinkly look, so I went with elephant eye for a search term just for kicks, and I couldn't have asked for a more fitting stock. xD

Appreciate it.
And I agree flaws are here and there, but after a great deal of work on it. It would be a great pain to go in there and fix the trivial things.
Especially as I went in chaotic style this time and all layers are unnamed and mostly ungrouped. Some 150+ layers or so.

Wow! You really put in a lot of effort here. Thanks for taking the challenge seriously.

You do have a few flaws, but not enough to go in and correct. I like the look of it and your concept. Well done!

Thank you!
I am glad you noticed. This particular piece took tremendous effort, especially as so many stocks went in the making and most needed to be rendered and cleaned. It was frustrating for the most part.

Not all manips have to be complicated, but it's more full filling when you do something that's more than just putting a model in a background.

SylversVolpe In reply to TheFantaSim [2011-07-31 06:04:16 +0000 UTC]

I agree, but every now and then you come across a certain concept or theme that endorses a busy scene.
Evidently I was going for a kind of a tavern for mystical beasts so, busy was the word.
