Here we go! Finally I’ve made a background I liked. It looks good, it has pretty much everything I need. It is pretty victorian, pretty english and not too dark. All that I have to do now is to work on some details and to correct the lighting.

That’s pretty much all. I make a new sky , pull out some highlights and delete the light fog of the lamp. Lightfog is always good for some touch of a realism but right now I decided to keep all the backstage as dark as possible. To add some power to my lightsource I’ve used “glow FX” Painter brush. This brush is just made for missions like this.

That is all, folks. I hope you’ll find this “making of” usefull.
