Camping and Layout work

Last weekend I went camping at Big Basin Redwood State Park and it was defiantly a much needed break from the indoors/computer screen/suburban and city life. The park totally immerses you in the sounds, smells, and feelings of being in a completely natural environment, it was a very humbling experience.

So now that I am back I have been going full swing on a CG layout project I am putting togather. The layout I am doing is based off a novel and the boards are from a friend of mine, Nic Rudy. My goal is to learn efficient ways to put together a layout for CG as well as refresh myself on some of the other aspects of the CG world I haven't dealt with in a while. And of course above all else have it all make sense!

Here is a sneak peak on the project, this is the BG I painted for the opening scene.
