Artists Heaven is a personal project by Johan Gustavsson and his first post on the forums. An impressive one! Purposed as a Photoshop Skill development project, the only 3D element in this scene is the actual building and stairs and Johan was kind enough the compile a short video of the postwork breakdown.
And here is the big size image…

Very, very nice indeed. The only thing throwing me off is that it is very dark and as such I'd expect a longer exposure and therefore streaky/blurry water. At the moment the water appears captured at a very short exposure time, which is great in some ways but I think blurry water might improve it. But I love the mood and lighting and particularly the composition. very nice work!
alexyork3d Good call on the water - I try with blurry look would be nice to see.
I would also suggest adding a bit more life to it - a little boat docking on the island perhaps, or on route.
Thank you so much Ronen for sharing my project on your blog. I am truly honored! And thanks to everyone for their positive feedback, it does wonders for my motivation and self-esteem!
chickensalad You are most welcome, this is great work and a blog spotlight was in order ;)
sorry for my correction without your permission

Not bad, but wouldn't the first 2 vertical windows still cast light on the rocks, even though there are higher than the last one (which is almost at ground level)?
Tolgahan No worries, I appreciate it - and I belive you are right. I will look inte that as soon as I have some time to spare.
Tolgahan Here is a little technical tip for uploading images in the livefyre system... use one of these services to add the images, just paste in the images URL's that you have on one of these services and a thumbnail will be automatically generated.

I'm sure new and better ways are in the works, so stay tuned ;)
Front of the rocks under the building need more darker areas.
Is this house for sale?
I'll buy it for 1000$ (that's all I have).
I am a "full 3d" guy but this is beautiful! Well done!
annkos very beautiful. It amazes me time and time again what 2d techniques done right can achieve.

And such a time-saver, whenever you can use it.
