February 2008 update:
Over the last couple of days I facelifted this image. What was revised/changed:
-the palm trees were replaced by some glorious conifers (spruces). I thought conifers would give the image more verticality
-I tweaked the light rays a little bit
-I added falling maple leaves (from some trees above the cave entrance), to give the image even a more pronounced fantasy feel- this took an entire day, I'm glad it's over
...and that's all


Finally finished this after 2 and 1/2 months. I won't say but one thing: it's the biggest and meanest project I have ever worked on. It's enough said it practically kneeled my PC. Overall, I'm a little unsatisfied with the result, but that's how life is. Anyway, enjoy it as it is.

Tech info:
-original resolution: 7500x5000
-file size: 598MB -yes, you've read correctly...
-time spent: ~250 hrs.
-layers used: 300+

Software info:
-Lightwave 8 & 9.2 for everything
-Photoshop CS2 for assembly process and additional painting
-XFrog 3.5 for vegetation models
-ZERO PHOTOS USED, everything was digitally created

100% details: -from the old version of Odath Rissa [link]

Just like you, better than He, to Hell with they, I'm almost me. I'm nearly human, pity me, I'm almost a human being.

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings to take me away from here.

Sure I do. The hanging rocks were inspired by it. ;)
