Mr Squirrel was fuming. He specifically told the housing agency to find him a nice little nut house. And what did they give him instead? An acorn house. Acorn! Out of all the terrible choices they could have gone for, they pick an acorn. He might be the only living squirrel allergic to acorns but that doesn't give them the right to treat him like this. He is going to complain. Right. Now.
Well... the view around here is nice. The garden hasn't seen a spade in ages but that can be easily remedied. The bridge won't last another winter, though. Maybe if I had a few planks, I could fix the hole here and... Huh, what's that? An antique water pump? Hmm, it will have to do, I guess. At least it isn't far from the fields. The lettuce will need plenty of water when the spring comes, and I'd hate to drag it across the whole farm. Now, where did I put my hammer? Ah, it must still be in the moving boxes. Well, I'll just go and--
AAH-CHOOO!

ur story is too funny. Amazing job!
wow!this is absolutely amazing!!
Love it!
shiennar It totally works for this scene... the ground shadows sell the trees' perceived depth perfectly. :-)
copperplate Thank you :-) I did want to model the trees, but I ran out of time (it was a contest entry), so they are just image planes.
Absolutely superb work! Are the trees full 3D or billboards?
This is really cool.
starry Thank you, that's a really cool idea. I'll think about that :-)
Beautiful work! You know you could do a picture book - with the little backstory on one page and the image on the other -
az93 I've been using Blender for about 10 months now. The render might look complicated, but I didn't use any advanced techniques, really. Most of the look is achieved through textures - and the rest is hours and hours of tweaking colours and composition. The gif shows that I moved things around quite a bit, but it's just a fraction of the full workflow. :-)
