Captured Nature (WiP title)

[Psistorm]

I havent posted something new in here for a while, but now its time again to show some stuff im working on :D
about this project: "captured nature" was the title of a project released here on threedy by someone else, but this work inspired me to make my own scene. thats why this title is only the wip title, I will think of something else for the finals, since I dont want to look like an idea thief here ;)

about the pic itself:
modelling will change a bit, lighting will change a LOT and the room in the background will change too, as well as the table :)

since you're changing a lot of stuff i won't say too much, is that water in the bowl along with the green grassy stuff? or is it dirt/mud/clay stuff

[Psistorm]

its supposed to be water, at least later on :D
I just slapped some watery kind of mat on it, to get some idea :)

Ill try to get some more details on the island for the next pic btw (like finishing off the area at the castle, eg

You said you were changeing all the stuff i was going to comment on so lets get another pic up here. I think the oasis of life needs more detail. More objects.:roll:

(oh, and I will do a day and a night version!)

im in desperate need of some hints how to do some convincing stained brass!
