"...In the old ancient times there were the great warriors of the forest, but one day they have vanished without any trace, leaving behind nothing but ruins of their villages. Now the time has passed and presumably all the ruins were being restored by the great but quite mystical elves. Some say they came from nowhere, others claim that they are not even from the surface of the Earth. It's questionable. Although one thing is quite certain, the fact is that they cannot be found anywhere, after 70 years their existence is still a mystery. All we have got is a painting found inside of a great boundless and puzzling place, in Forest Asuya."

My final result of the develepment of this piece:

Concept sheet to summarize my process:

Greetings to everyone!

I'm quite inspired and super excited about theme of this challenge. This is also the first time I'm participating in such challenge on cubebrush. So I was kinda worried first, but I thought this is gonna be fun and a really good practice to participate in. I'm looking forward to discuss ideas together!

My choice of the side is gonna be FANTASY, to widen my experience in fantasy based projects.

I want to thank Cubebrush forum that such a good challenge could exist! I also wish good luck for everyone there are so nice pieces here all around!

Also I want to thank @volenck, @hebronppg, @raedrob and @obra-kalla for their responses, encouragements and contribution to this project with their advices Thank you guys!

This is the first sketches of my ideas. They are bit messy in my opinion.
At the first section of the image I wasn't having any idea what I'm gonna be after, that was for mainly exploring some idea.

Yet more specific thumbnails of the idea are coming soon!

Just made some a bunch of thumbnails. I'm considering to change the camera angles I guess I'm not sure what I'm gonna go for but I'm probably gonna go with either number 5, 2 or 8 or maybe a with a mixture of those.

Thank you very much : ) Very soon I'm gonna do a rough with that idea! : )

Just a little update...
I made some composition sketches

And I was heavily speculating if I rather choose the 4th/5th or the 6th composition.
Then I made a rough painting of the 6th one since I found it more interesting. : )

This is how it looks so far.

Thank you very much! ^^ I'm really glad it's slowly turning out something good.

Just a bit of update again, I only progressed on the details, I was trying to apply some different lighting and color composition but I assume I have to rethink a few things about it.

Thank you @hebronppg and thank you @raedrob You're right about that hebron, it seems like the midground just lost between the foreground and the background. I think it must be value an foreshortening error although there's not much foreshortening to talk about here, maybe just the scales don't add up. I'm gonna fix the issue today ^^
Thank you for your responses ^^

I was trying different things with it, I suppose I still should fix some errors here and there.
Did a few detailings, but also I feel maybe I overdid it a bit.

Here's another update ^^ I think this will be roughly the final result maybe I'll tweak some sort of parts that might be done better. Although I've had a great fun with my piece although I feel maybe I overdid it in some sort of way, but I think I'm quite happy with it.

So I've been thinking a lot if I want to work on my piece or should I declare it as a finished piece. I decided to go with a more stunning looking piece. So here's my update:

I've touched up the piece quite a bit I couldn't resist myself to do more with it
So I've changed a lot of parts on the render, added a bit more mist to it.

Also I made an additional concept sheet to summarize my process:

Overall I'm really satisfied with this project It's been quite fun doing it, I think I've learned a lot and also learned a lot from the responses and from people here.

Also I want to thank @volenck, @hebronppg, @raedrob and @obra-kalla for their responses, encouragements and contribution to this project with their advices Thank you guys!

Thank you very much! I just did it really quick haha!

Thank you!
