Meeting in the Forest

Sighthoundlady's picture
I've had this picture in my head all week and I finally got it out.

I decided to go with the peacock pelt for the adult deer. I think it must be the hardest one to draw!

Photoshop CS2, 12 hours.

I said "wow" out loud when I saw this. (Though more like whispered. Everyone else is asleep here. |D)

The time and effort you put

The time and effort you put in really shows. The fawn is perfectly accurate to the in-game appearance, I think that's tough to do.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

*sob* ;u; This is so pretty! No, it's magic! The peacock pelt was an excellent choice, it looks just stunning.
I love how there's so many shapes and details.. My eyes are getting lost in this picture, exploring it. I love the swirl on the ground especially, it really leads the eye INto the picture creating a stronger sense of space, depth. And the swirls on the rocks and trees.. it really brings my thoughts back to the original game concept, the mystery of the forest. What is the forest, how did it get there, where are the humans? It's so exciting, this is bringing back a lot of the magic for me, that I had forgotten!
Your art is amazing!

Thanks everyone so much!

I’m glad the fawn turned out nice! I didn’t have a good screenshot of the blue fawn pelt and worked a lot from memory on it. It’s my favorite fawn pelt though.

I was always told that the secret of a good background, is to treat it as a subject on it's own. So I completed it first so I wouldn't get lazy with it as I often do. It was very hard to make myself do that but in the end I think it paid off and made the picture “come together” that much better.

Thanks again everybody. I'm kind of hoping I might be able to submit this piece for the next calender.

And I just realized I flubbed up the date in the corner, it should be 2011, not 2001. (Edit,: fixed it!)

This is truly incredible~ I

This is truly incredible~
I lovelovelove everything about this so much. I adore the detailed lines along with the gorgeously presented design of the peacock pelt. I also really love the addition of little carvings into the rock and tree! The fawn looks exactly like it would in the game, too!
I really also love the background as the trees slowly get farther away. It's subtle, but perfect.
The color choices are also very wonderful as well!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
