I came up with this idea burning leaves at my parents house awhile back. I had just finished watching Lord of the Rings The Two Towers and was thinking of the awesome scene where Gandalf is fighting the Balrog. I pictured a whole story from that inspiration of leaves fighting each other with a burn pile below them.
This is my first attempt of doing some shading while coloring on Photoshop Elements. I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out. I was blown away by how just a little color can make something look more dramatic. Though I doubt I got the shadow physics right. But not bad for a first attempt at it.
