This is part of an Illustration/ concept for a virtual slot machine. I got a painting from Robin Hood and created a lady, purse with coin, target with arrows and a castle. It ought to be a rather realistic style.
The wood is the background for the lady. This was fun and creative. I started with a tutorial but soon made it my way. First the trees with vertical brush strokes than some atmosphere with the gradient tool and large and soft brush strokes. After this I added leaves all over the place, behind and in front of the trees. I also used the Photoshop render tree option.
