The New Queen’s Request

Telka, as the newly anointed queen, promises to be a benevolent and fair ruler, provided her subjects refrain from eating her clothing. They are, however, invited to partake of the royal houseplants.

Something was bugging me about the first version of this scene I uploaded yesterday, so I spent some time playing around in Topaz Studio 2 to try and get more of an artistic or painterly effect (shown below). I’m not sure if I like this version better, but I do like it as a variation.

I have a feeling that to get the kind of painterly or “stylized” look I so enjoy, I may have to try different ways of lighting and rendering scenes beforeI bring them through Photoshop filters. But I also have a feeling that’s going to take a LOT of experimentation!
