An over-sized head requires innovation on the African plain. (5 years and 2370 days ago)
Funny, but rhino is too distorted, and the ball should be sinking into the grass more, with grass fronds overlapping the curvature.
I like this one very much, it should've done better!
Thanks, that's the way it goes!

This piece of art is my dedication to the nature itself because I love forest and mystical creatures.
Techniques I’ve been used is a matte painting inside Adobe Photoshop. Lots of chops from the source image as well as textures to cover the Ancient Protector’s body. External images are my own (snapshots of my buddy) to pose the human characters. Brushing and airbrushing are required to grow vines and summon the Ancient Protector with the rules of third and golden mean composition (I almost forgot to apply those rules since I’m working as a character and creature artist rather than environment or cinematic), after that; I made touch ups in Adobe After Effects as a post-production stage and finally end up in Adobe Lightroom to enhance details and sharpens the final artwork.
Hope you like my creation; I had a lot of fun to complete this artworks. Thanks for viewing and have a great time!
Oh yeah... Will that wandering boy find this formidable creature as a friend or foe?

Fantastic stuff author.... and extra points for the excellent sbs..... good luck
Thanks for your consideration to look after my SBS, friend. And your kindness to fave it.
Have a great time!
°____°
this is definately one of my faves for this contest, original author, well done
Would be better if you made monster a little brighter so it pops out a little more. Looks like a scene from a movie too
Thanks for the comments, Keiley22 and Kid. Appreciated so much!
Kid, if I made the monster a little brighter, yes it can pops up but in my humbly opinion; I tried so hard to make it merged into the environment so it doesn't look so fake. Because it's a painting inside a photo real. = )
But once again, thanks for your considerations to look after my creation and I suggest to check the WIP section too. I tried to explain everything there. Have a great time all.
Congrats!!
this is still a rare piece... congrats

Old contest entry from PST. SBS to come, hopefully I remember the details! Made one change to image from last time: changed reflection so that the shadow on the wall wasn't reflected.
Wine source image downloaded via subscription. Proof of subscription in sbs. (5 years and 3746 days ago)
very good work, especially on the shadows.
agree; shadows look very good; and also good place for the wine bottle
I think the shadow would be taller...good image, though.
Actually if you look at the original source, the shadow is from that, I just placed the bottle and shadow for that to match the original source.
There is something wrong with the perspective and depth in this image. It looks now that the distance from the bottom of the bottle to the wall is a couple of feet. But then there would be no shadow from the bottle on the wall at all. What you could do is drop the horizontal line between the wall and the table untill just a bit above the bottom of the bottle. And a shadow also makes a reflection onto a shiny surface(=mirror).
Sander, I don't see a couple feet in the distance of the bottle to the wall?? And I had also thought cognativly that the shadow would reflect (the surface is not a mirror either) and then looked at real world situations and discovered that the shadow in fact doesn't reflect at this level of shiny surface. Which is why I changed the image from the last step (my previous final image from PST).
good job!
Congrats for your third place!
Congratulations for 3rd.
Congrats!
Congrats! I'll Raise a Glass!
Thanks everyone!
