This magical cliff top oasis is the happy residence of Mr. Cow, who spends his time in the clouds in his humble abode. He is surrounded by a beautiful landscapes, magnificent waterfalls and mysterious temples a perfect place to spend the rest of eternity. As you may have guessed Mr. Cow is now in someone's lower intestine, but his soul if free to wander this paradise.
My original idea had no vision for Mr. Cow and his house. I simply wanted to create fantasy piece that incorporated many different elements. I wanted a heaven like feel so I chose a view of clouds from over head. Then I searched google and found mountains that would fit perfectly into the clouds and create a greater than earth feel. The most tedious part was finding the temples though. I had to scavenge and find ones that blended well, were easy to mask and all had the same general themes. I really liked the tibetan temples because they gave a fantasy feel. For the floating islands, I simply masked out cliffs, flipped them upside down, added grass tops, and then finally shaded the sides to create realistic lighting. If I could make any changes to the piece it would be the blending of elements. The mountains in the clouds look spectacular however the lighting is off on the ones in the foreground.
