October Entry: Elven village

[Ascension]

Red -- sure, when I have it finished I'll do up a copy with the trees turned down to oh I dunno 25-50% opacity...the river bed is a standard Photoshop pattern called gravel with a brownish-orange-gray color overlay set to soft light, the grass comes from one of the sites listed here in the guild (might be cgtextures, not sure though) with color overlays and height mapping, the river waves and trees all come from the Dunjinni forums, the wood comes from a pic of an old door with a black innner glow and light tan color overlay. Oddly enough, none of the trees used in this particular set is an oak or ash or other "normal" elfy tree. If you'd like I could put together a tutorial on how this is coming together, it's fairly program non-specific so GIMPers should be able to follow it as well...it's mostly patterns, glows, and color overlays with black and white shading to add depth The shadows are gonna be real tricky though.

Going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow so I thought I'd put a color mod on the village. I thought it looked pretty cool so here it is. A full layer of straight up orange set to Hue.
