Great contrast created with the use of the stained glass being colored. Beautiful detailing and overall very stunning! Thank you for sharing.

Really nice job. Just what I'd want to see if I was passing by this small village in the early morning.

I have a limited edition print of this on my wall at home. On that very same wall is a limited edition print of Brian Froud's The Magician, so you know you're in good company.

I love the idea and the pic, though, methinks that little roof isn't going to last long with that dragon on top of it.

Heya, thanks for the comments dude, I use photoshop for pretty much everything. I have an idea of the kind of colours I want before I start, then paint in different parts in different layers, i usually end up using a lot of low opacity brush settings so the colour can seep through and be muted by the layer below. Also fog layers, thats creating a layer on top, getting a large light grey very fuzzy low opacity brush (often with a low scatter) and easing in the fog on top of the image.
Pure white can then be used on top of that to bring out the lightest fog areas.
