I really like this piece, I think Alex has done a good job of creating a mystical atmosphere with the use of green/blue tones. The orange glowing orbs dotted around the picture also add to this and create a beautiful contrast with the rest of the surroundings.
His attention to detail with textures, the reflection in the pool and the lighting really brings the image to life. It has a soft after glow feel to it creating the perfect ambient fantasy setting.
I also like the way he's put a person in this setting because it gives you a good idea of size. I should really consider this the next time I do any environment work.
I think this is a great example of light and shadow. I really love the overlap of the cool blue lighting and the warm reds from the torches.
Strangely enough, the bookshelves are my favourite part in this picture. I really love how Alex managed to define the books by using the dark and light in the image. They aren't done in much detail of course but you can still distinctly work out what they are.
And again, use of placing a person in the image helps you grasp the idea of size.
This is one of my favourite images Alex has produced. The colours used in this picture actually reminds me of some of the settings in the movie Avatar.
He's created some interesting shapes with the trees and the hanging shrubbery which almost creates a veil around the area. That webbed-like effect also creates a very mystical feel to the image.
The water again is just so full of life with the different blends of colour and the reflections. The waterfall has a nice glow rather like the the surroundings on Twilight Princess during the night.
Overall, I adore Alex Drummond's work. He does a lot of sci-fi designs as well but I think I'm more drawn to his fantasy and ambient looking works.
