Environment Update

Here's where I got to with the first of the two environment thumbnails I liked. You can already see how the piece has changed a bit, though I'm not sure I'll manage to leave it alone as it is. The main difference is that I decided to fracture that large central island into several parts. Was it a good idea? I often have a tendency to want to add more detail into the simpler or flat graphic areas. These areas are important to a picture having variety and reading clearly, so it's important to have them though. So tell me your thoughts...


HP Lovecraft FTW

Happy New Year!
I've been lurking, slinking around the place pretending Wellington has a summer and that I'm still on holiday to enjoy it. But alas, neither of those things are true. Had a great break up north though, and did a couple of wee watercolours while I was away, which I will post soon.
For now, here's a wee update on the Lovecraft piece from a while ago. It managed to take top honours in the prestigious Gnomon Workshop Forums monthly image challenge. I was super stoked as those guys put out some amazing product. I didn't quite get the piece as finished as I wanted to for the contest, but here it is with very little updated. Is it done? You be the judge. If you look back to the previous version I posted, you can see the changes I was contemplating back then :)
