Description Swear I thought these challenges would get easier as they went a long but just seem to get harder and harder. 40 minutes in so far, think I'll need to 2 hours for this though, why are environments so hard to paint ! There's so many details and rocks and faces and little bits and pieces everywhere, how do you simplify it better like you can with anatomy?

About and hour and a half I think. Will leave it here i think, I'm pleased with it enough. Like how it looks, specially considering how bad it looked at the start.

This is really great, you know? It has an otherworldly feel to it. I kinda want a similar wallpaper, now.
The way you did the reflections is pretty ace, too.

Thank you very much Yeah i think I get what you mean with the otherworldly feel. You could go to the original reference photo if you want a similar wallpaper, though I don't think it was very big actually.

Dude! That's awesome!! Has the effect of a photo in the thumbnail. You definitely placed the shadows and highlights in the right places.
