medieval village scene

[Dune]

Something I made for friends of ours, a scene in a small Dutch medieval village. It's their house, dating back to around 1600 AD.

Wow, that's super beautiful!! I love the characters. The lighting is perfect, and looking at the picture it feels like being a part of the scene.

Thanks, Hannes. I thought you'd like this. The lighting had to be adjusted through a large luminous plane hovering over the front area, or the darks/shadows would have been way too dark in a standard PT render.

That's a very good solution with gives you a nice natural lighting.

Lucky friends.   This is super.

Beautiful lighting! Especially captivating is the the young woman fully lit with that magnificent Oak in the back: a 'crop' of that would be worthy of a fine art piece for sure! As usual the thought and planning of the tableau leads the viewer into so many story lines being played out; the rider, the tradesman, the young girl - the whole scene feels like a slice of a larger story being enacted. You deservedly earn so many superlatives here, and I congratulate you on yet another Masterpiece, but mainly let me thank you for this marvelous image, it has brightened my day and left me both humbled and inspired...

I had it printed, but it turned out really dark (left was about how I saw it, right is the print sort of). So I have to do something about calibration but not by expensive device...

Excellent scene, I particularly like the subtleties of shadows and lights. Your vegetations are superb!

Realistic as if you were there! I like the scene very much. Great work, Ulco!

Do you convert the document to print colour space so you have idea of colour tones? Try converting to CMYK.
