I spend rep upon thee.
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?

But how much of your existing rep did you accumulate before the beginning of this year (what I have decided to call the great rep explosion)?Originally Posted by töff

Those trees are fantastic. I'd love to see how you did them.

Originally, the girl was flying a kite, but apparently you aren't allowed to in Hyde Park, so I changed it to butterflies!I'm so glad your client decided to keep the bird and the girl. That's my favorite part. Its wonderful
Ascension,
When I eventually get my website up an running (Ha!) I'll post a movie tutorial! This is how I did it:
I drew the tree and branches as a solid black and scanned it in (on the later ones I painted these directly into photoshop), colour adjusted the file with the hue and saturation sliders until the base was the desired colour.
I then painted in the details of the bark and dropped in highlighted and shadow areas with the dodge/burn tools. When this was done I started with the leaves, I created a layer behind the trunk and painted a darker mass of leaves than what would be the average colour in the foreground, I painting these in different opacities and hues with a custom brush I created to get the depth in, I then did the same with a new layer over the trunk with the lighter hues, lastly using the same brush as the leaves I'll dodge and burn patterns on the bark to get light and shadows showing through and do the same on the leaves to create highlights and shadows.
That's about it, the majority of time was spent on getting the leaves looking right.
P.S. Ascension, I love the map you did of Artheane, I was trying to find the WIP... but to no avail
