I was very happy with this onform entry I think its the best submission I've done so far as I tried to push the illustration a bit more so its less obviously stylised like the rest of my work. The top image is from half way through the drawing process I tried quite a few different rock textures and tree textures. I however found that the simpler techniques in my opinion where far more effective and less cluttered. Although not too noticeable I used a compositing technique I hadn't used before to add texture to the mist. Using track mats it only makes the texture appear on the sections that are animated and not in any alpha.
I think the mist could have been animated better, it would be nicer if it moved smoother and slower. This would have taken a lot longer because it would require a lot more frames. This piece took a lot longer than it should have but that was mainly due to the trial and error approach I took to it and I felt I learnt quite a bit.
