COUNTRY HOUSE

Hell yeah, that last one is brilliant. So is this all Photoshop?

Wow! You build it, I'll buy it.

This was the original raw render before photoshopping.
Pete,all entourage and sky and effects are photoshop.Often I would take an image through fotosketcher but in these images everything is done in photoshop.Its really all about layering and layering elements in order to build up a sense of depth.

A second lakeside image.The building is the same raw render from the first image I uploaded in this set and the sky and trees are the same from the last lakeside image,with a few additional tweaks.The reflection was done by flipping a copy of the lake side and using motion blur to create the streaky reflection, and then darkening the bottom of the image.There are a few areas where elements seem to bleed into each other but I wanted quite a loose feel to this image so I wasn't that concerned

David,

All this belongs on "Most impressive RENDERED SU" if there were such a thread.

Getting into the mood of Winter are we? With the sun shining outside here, highs in the upper 70's, these are deliciously, and vicariously, chilly pictures. Just great work.

Its getting quite cold in this neck of the woods at the moment so heres a colder version of the last image with the lake frozen and a couple of small tweaks.

Hi, davidh:
These last views are excellent. You are a visual symphonic composer.

24 hours late with this one,maybe it needs some gravestones to add to the atmosphere.Similar to the other images,this is based from the same raw render previously uploaded.

Yep. There is and yep, it does.

How much time for cooking in PS?

davidh

Ive added the gravestones to the foreground.Normally the photoshop post processing would take anywhere from 20 mins to a few hours.These were about an hour each.

...O-o-o nice! thanks!

davidh

And the final tweak to this image,some clouds across the moon and a spectral figure at bottom left.I think I'll leave this image as is now.

davidh

lots of colour in this one
