Description
Mainly a lighting & texturing study (among others painting some water effects with the terrain material painter).
Also a lot of eco-painting.
Vue 7.4 render. Levels correction, framing & signature in Photoshop.
All objects & textures by me (incl. a new "moss-grass").
Thanks for taking a look, comments etc. welcome.
Have a nice weekend

***UPDATE***
Decided (1 hr. after original upload) to add the mushroom cluster to the root (quick partial render, blended in with Photoshop).
