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
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
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.

ok, I had some troubles in few days ago and now i generally have some more time to finish this project
the scene has progressed a lot as you can see, so lemme know what u think
(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!
(as you can see in the scene, i need it in several parts)
