My version of the old folklore tale Will o' the Wisp - about condemned souls wandering around earth lighting their path with coal from hell.

Pretty simple stuff, it's kinda lame to use these photoshop tricks and premade stuff but it's fun and easy at the same time.

Made in photoshop 7.0

Like using Bryce or anything like that you can use lots of premade stuff and get a firly good picture. But if you can use them and get an amazing picture like this then you are an artist... or something like that.
That water looks nice and cool I think I’ll just dangle my feet in it for a while....

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Thank’s Dave! "

Oh, wow, this is very cool. I love the look of the water and how the moon is reflected onto it! It is so glowy. Those neat little wisp are whimsical and bring fairies to mind or something of that sort. The grass looks real, I hope you didn't have to draw each blade by hand? lol. Anyways very lovely magical little sence here!
*First comment dance*

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "I updated the image so I moved your comment here instead, hope that's okay. Thanks again for commenting. And no, luckely I used the old lame gras brush in photoshop to make the blades.. =)"

OMG! That’s just so beautiful. I just love this picture... the moon... the stars... the reflections in the water... And you can almost se how the grass is moving in the breeze. Fantastic =D

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Thanks a lot!"

that is really good even if u used premade stuff! ive never heard that legend thing before? but i like the little "whisps" of light they look magical! and the leaves and teh moon! it makes it all look like it came straite from a movie or something lol! omygosh i just looked at in fullsize that is great [and huge]

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Thank you so very much for all your comments. By pre made I refer to that the grass blades are made by a pre made grass blade brush. The rest is made by applying different filters and effects layers in photoshop. "

T’was hard to pick out a single picture, but I like scenery more than figures usually. This one is very beautiful. The water is what caught my eye the most, it seems so bright and...errr... blue. Very well done =)

Awesome. I like the reflection of the moon in the water.
