Very nice. The artful shading makes the drawn figures fit into the scene seamlessly.
Is this a photograph filtered to look like painted? Or is this a damn good artist?
I was assuming it was a photograph with minimal filtering and characters drawn in with a digital process. That seems to be quite popular these days but often not with such good results.
Much of it is photo, but the artist mixed in a fair amount of art. The left and right sides (160 pixel width each) are completely hand drawn. So are most of the trees in the foreground and the red fence on the left. Some of the stonework has been drawn over in places. And that (stone?) fence was either added or significantly edited.
Ah, been too long gone from konachan. Almost missed this eerily beautiful art.
