Recent work in Progress

First Draft:

Here is my most recent digital painting in progress. Started Saturday morning and have been painting on it off and on. Have spent probably 5 hours total on it. I am following a step by step breakdown in a Bob Ross book called the "Joy of Painting." I think it's the 25th volume.

I am looking for critique on this piece. I am confused on how to get the tree foliage to work right. Also, the transition from the forground to the middleground and the middleground to the background has been very tough so far. Thanks!!

CG Talk Lighting Challenge

This is the newest lighting challenge model from CG Talk. Not a bad model this time. Did the lighting and material work. Still not done by a long shot. But I wanted to post some process work. Feedback is welcome as long as it's positive.

Game Models

I started this thread for some props I've started modeling for games. I am working on getting the normal maps made, so for now I am showing with the bump.

Book Cover for Gabe

Third Draft:

I put another few hours of work into the book cover. Worked on adding depth to each layer of the piece. Still having a lot of trouble with the middle ground foliage. I feel it took a turn for the worse. But I am liking what I have going for the clouds and I added some texture to the light source so it is not so flat. I have logged about 11 hours on this piece so far.
