The Dink Network

I can see you have muddied the beds etc up a bit IPD, same with the vases etc, if you are interested, a suggestion would be to bring the vases into your photo editing program, use the selection tool - select the side with less light, feather the selection (to blend it in better) and darken it a bit more, so they arent so clean looking muddy them up with some random 'noise' hehe yeah I love that noise filter. Then add a splatter of white or something because if you can see something - then there is light on it. There is still light in a house - windows give soft diffused light and if a room light was on - it will also cast shadows. (Think about a persons eye, if you have no white bit in the black pupil bit it looks quite flat and lifeless - add one or two pixels of white and you lift it right out..)

As an example - look at the shadow on dinks legs in the picture you put up... see how dark it is in the shadow? (That would be too dark for the vases but you see how it needs darker on that side.

as an example of what I mean Sorry its enlarged so bad but if i did it normal size you wouldnt see it...

Same with the beds darken bits, make wrinkles (wrinkles are dark AND light bits) and stuff. Theyre great but they need to be not so umm.. shiney and new maybe? Hope thats constructive and helpful for you.

I really liked the trees you did, you have darkened one side wonderfully and they look really awesome. The shapes are great - I would love to see those uploaded You really are doing an excellent job IPD *go you!*
