The Fountain Diorama

Delighted to share a personal hand painted project that's been in the works for a long old time (a few years!) around other projects and life stuff, thought I had better get it over the finish line :)

My focus was working on my clean sculpts and soft materials while letting silhouettes do a lot of the heavy lifting. Most of the textures are very clean and simple so the geo can do the work. With some of the foliage I experimented with more abstract directions before settling on what you see here.
