Wow! It's been 5 weeks since I created a collage for LMAC! Time really flies when you're busy! 😅
I usually start out my collages by browsing the LIL Website and just kit-bashing a bunch of stuff (loading tons of pictures into my project) until I feel like I have a good amount of objects everywhere. I'll get everything positioned where I want, and then I'll start taking things away that don't really feel like they belong.
I really liked the rocks and water from @seckorama and I knew I needed to put that into it. The rocks around the top of the image and the grass from the template image blended incredibly easily. I was really surprised!
Then I found the dark mineral from @flowermari and thought that would be really fun to stick out of the water! But maybe something special should be sticking out of it?
I was originally going to go for a Sword In The Stone feel, but I couldn't find any swords on the LIL besides the one I had made. Then, after seeing @quantumg's wizard wand, I liked that idea better. Especially since I really try to avoid using my own assets if I can.
I really feel like it adds a bit of fantasy and magic to the scene! I tried making it glow a bit more and added a lens flare, but I couldn't get it looking how I wanted. Oh well, I think it gets the point across.
Enjoy!
