Description
At the edge of a grassy forest clearing, a twisted, dead oak rests upon a small hill. Erosion has stripped away the side of the small rise, yet the tree still stubbornly tries to hold the earth together with its roots. A dirt path runs alongside the old oak, and, in the golden light of a cloudy autumn afternoon, a buck has wandered by.
This is the second in a series of three artworks featuring the deer on a path next to the tree. All three of the images involve a very strong sense of autumn with lots of yellow, orange, and red colors, that is, the golden colors of fall foliage.
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris, ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

What an outstanding work of art - everything about this is just perfect. The warm autumn tones, the pose of this magnificent buck and the general composition are all just lovely. F/V
