Pastorale (Night)

I just couldn’t get over how dark the scene looked as a thumbnail. The fireflies help but don’t really show up in the thumbnail, same for the moonlight. All too subtle. I decided to add some distant lightning in the clouds for a bit more color.

The first two versions will remain available in the Pickle Jar. Feedback appreciated 🙂

Pastorale (Night)

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope everyone knows that I probably wouldn’t be an artist if my Mom hadn’t purchased that first PC for me back in the 90s. She’s nurtured my creativity every step of the way and I am forever in her debt.

The plan for “Pastorale” is do four seasons. The first was Spring, and now I’ve advanced the calendar a few months to Summer for this night scene. Definitely wanted some fireflies to add some a bit of light to the mix. Adding them to the tree was the hardest part. I’m certain the thumbnail looks very boring, but hopefully the wallpaper works for everyone.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Pastorale

With Spring finally trying to arrive (in my neck of the woods anyway) I wanted to do something that felt warm and featured flowers. I also wanted to continue my theme of more minimal renders (a la “Shoreline“) because I do feel they make better wallpapers.

I strongly considered adding a figure to this scene but decided against it in the end to keep the scene uncluttered, simple, and (hopefully) inviting.

Let me know what you think!
