Description

This piece was started over a year ago as an entry into the DAZaholics Queen of Thorns contest.  I kept adding elements and adjusting poses and shaders until I ultimately ran up against the deadline.  The vegetation wasn't very fleshed out and I hadn't really come up with a solution for lighting yet.  I didn't feel it was complete enough at that time to publish it, so I set it aside to work on other projects.

I finally made it back around to finish it off and I couldn't be more pleased.  When I picked it up again, probably 90% of the work was done.  In the span of the last year, I'd picked up a ton of options for additional plants and developed significantly more skill with lighting.  After a day of additional tweaking and several days worth of rendering, it was ready.  When the final image was revealed, I actually had one of those moments where I was stunned at how much better it had turned out than I had originally envisioned.

The high-res version is available for download if you would like to check out the details.
