Took a break from the other fan-art contest (which I will still make my 4th entry to) And decided to squeeze in some time to make at least one submission for the "Mystery" themed contest held by which has better prizes anyway
This time, I avoided the overly-detailed 3D scenery I normally do, and try and get just a "photographic" look. I deliberately made the scene to match the type of thing we see all too often in photographs (nice sunset over a calm lake) yet put a new spin on it with my concept of a Moon which is absent from the sky, yet mysteriously still appears in the reflection on the lake...perhaps this is the distant future where the Moon - and man have been missing for a really long time, yet this strange lake is still stuck in a past time-frame. Makes one wonder what we did to the Moon in our ongoing search for resources
As for the details of the artwork itself, well this is one of the few that is almost completely Vue work, there was postwork to the 3D scene around the rocks and trees, which had strange artifacts on them, and the Moon in the reflection...everything else is raw 3D With Vue's amazing landscape capabilities, it is possible to whip up such a scene in an hour, but I was too picky with composition and spent a lot of time moving terrains, trees and rocks around, as well as fine-tuning the cloud layers to get clouds to appear right where I wanted them...so it was jacked up to around 6 hours of work in total (and a whole day of rendering time)

...and it was definitely worth that 6 hours! It does look photorealistic, espcecially the cloud setting and its colors

In recognition of Worlds AIDS Day 2009, deviantART is proud to partner with Globalgiving.com to present a charity event and an awareness raising contest (open to all artists)!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Old mother Hupboard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone.
When she bent over, Rover took over and gave her a bone of his own.
