Hi all,
Haven't posted anything in a while as I've been lacking inspiration, and (to a greater degree) talent. This is a very simple render I've done that I'm halfway happy with. I was trying for mood rather than anything particularly exciting or experimental. I know that I shouldn't really post the second picture as it's massively post-worked, but I was messing around with GIMP and the warp filter produced this fantastic painted effect that I like a lot (you just have to ignore the edges of the image, where the warping has had some unusual effects).
Anyway, thanks for any comments you might have, but to be honest I'm unlikely to be able to re-render as it took 14hr+ and I only have the use of a laptop that I share with my wife!
Inscrutable
