Description
EDIT:Thank you for the DD! Thank you to everyone for such thoughtful comments and favorites! I am so touched that it has been so well received. I can't respond to everyone, but I want you all to know that I appreciate everything and this really made my day. Thank you so much!
Entry for 's contest. ----> contest results aaagh.deviantart.com/journal/C…
Over 100 layers
70+ hrs
20 individual scenes
No, this is not a photo manipulation and no textures were used for the scenes, only the fabric texture on the background and scarf. This was all hand painted.
Journey is a fantastic game by ThatGameCompany. I highly recommend you play it. It is truly beautiful and a one of a kind experience. Don't research it, just do it. You will ruin it for yourself if you look up the details.
There is one more scene that I painted early on that ended up not fitting into my final composition.
Companion Piece -->
Originally, I formatted this to fit a 1440 X 900 resolution, But I didn't like how it looked, so I cut a bit off the top and bottom. It would still work well for a wallpaper though

Wow. This is amazing. Great work and it looks really good! Painting either by hand on a canvas or on the computer is really hard. You have to practice and do your best at it and be really patient and dedicated.
Thank you for sharing this. It really is something.

HOW did I manage to miss this?! This is seriously one of the best fanarts of the game, hands down. The scenes honestly looked like actual screenshots so I can see how people easily mistook it for a photo manipulation. XD Really, though, great job!

It's games like this that made me want to own the playstation 3
...and it's lack of money that prevents it

Most commonly viewed left to right, thought it is in essence a never ending cycle.
