Description

I really want to start doing more of these landscape manipulations. :) I'm kind of sick of using models. Don't get me wrong, they'll still be done. Just probably not as often.

This manipulation is meant to portray the difference in social classes. The castles on the hill represent high society, and the cabin represents lower class. I'm not sure where the idea came from; it just snuck up on me. Hehe.

i have to admit i love this. at least i love the idea. although the edges on the house could use a little work. darkening edges that are on a lighter background that isn;t fully cut perfect turns the edges a blueish color. if you look closely at the chimney you can see what i mean. also the one edge of the castle at the top you can see you erased a little too much and can see the hill edge behind it. i don't know if that was intentional or not but i just wanted to point that out.

I don't mean to be a pain or a bitch or anything else but i have a thing with giving advice. i don't want you to take this the wrong way it's not meant to be mean just useful critique.
