Hello!

This is the latest piece on my quest to find a style that combines stop motion look with the organic quality of painting.
After making the initial sketch I went out and shot some photos, here's the photo that I ended up using in the image: http://www.timovihola.com/rrh/forestplate.jpg It was first time I tried this approach so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Cool thing was that the photo overlay gave me nice texture and other details that enhanced the realistic look of the surfaces, but it also presented the problem of blending painted character and elements with it. My mother (she's a florist) was of great help with the flower design.

Hope you people like it as much as I enjoyed doing it! Critique and comments are both welcome, it helps me improve the next one


Best Regards,

Timo
