FULL VIEW PLEASE!

This is my token entry for :iconmizzd-stock: 's "Urban Fantasy" Contest. Fantasy and city life coming together. I loved the theme and had to enter. Consider this a diorama of sorts. :)

This is a really great execution. I love the idea, though it makes me wonder how the mood would change (if at all) if the setting were, say, under a train trestle, or under a bridge, or in an alleyway.

It mightve, but the park bench was key, so hence the setting. Good point though.

Well, yes, since she's standing on it. Mostly I just meant that it certainly prodded the imagination with lots of possibilities. But then, I guess that's what a contest is supposed to do, duh! lol

True enough. Its not my strongest piece by far, but idea wise, I wanted to see it out. The lighting was incredibly hard to do, plus getting the sizes and depth of the elemtns. The background, wasnt meant as a real background, just a them to promote the idea. I dont expect to win, but I wanted to do something other than putting a fairy in the middle of an alley or city as alot of the other pieces entered have. So..I set out to do something and did it. While not perfect, at least its done.

Really well done, I love the concept.

Very interesting! I like your interpretation. Adding the bench in was a good idea, too! So much attention to detail.

Well, I appreciate it. Not exactly what I envisioned, but I'm happy with it. Thank you!
