Lemme introduce you to "Frost", my latest WIP:
I know, it's probably not the most beautiful weather conditions to have, but I always wanted to make a realistic-looking, bad weather, ice cold landscape image, that features a sky completely covered with nasty clouds full of snow.
Now, this is my first shot at it. Yeah, true, it probably needs some more work, but for the first time, it "feels" about right, so I guess I'm on the right path ;-)
I forgot to mention that what I struggled with most was the lighting of the scene. Getting decent lighting with a fully covered sky required some serious tweaking.
But before I got to the lighting, the snow was the most difficult part. I had a clear vision of how it should look like, but have been lucky to find a way to make it look just so.
Cheers,
Frank
