I've lost my way! Seriously… I tried too hard with this one and now I feel it's worse than it was to begin with. But I'm not used to digital painting… hopefully if I keep trying different pictures and techniques, I will start to find my way again. Suggestions for improvement welcome.

Creds: Photoshop CS5 -- I made my own brushes, moon, clouds and flowers. Some of the elements in the big 'bushy' brushes were created using Context Free Art.

PS I will also post this on my dA page (Shimmertree).

Digital Painting tutorial(s):

Digital Painting 101


And then these tutorials looked interesting to me, and in some instances.. perhaps ... applicable on the note of creativity/concept where your image here is concerned:

35 Incredible Digital Painting Tutorials

/\ Quite strong on unifying the element(s) of lighting, for one.

That said..


Caveats?

If I may.. any additional post processing after the fact?

Thinking.. even a Curves adjustment layer might work towards deepening the contrasts. And in turn, produce a lil' more depth.

Curves explained.. courtesy of cambridgeincolour.com.

(Note: There is a pop-up that will appear, simply close it by clicking on the 'X' to proceed to the page.)

That said..


If this is one of your first forays into digital painting.. look forward to seeing more. :o)
