valley of the doomed

6-7 hours, PS
Hi,
Recently, I often have to ask - how do I get the final result. So I decided to put the first story of my art! Can also add that this is one of the latest techniques of execution, the earliest work was done by trial and error.
Thus, the 1 st stage is very simple - to build a chaotic scene detail (all the work I keep in my head), with the division of front, middle, far plan.
Second stage. Create a new layer and put the blending mode Hard Light. Using natural colors Landscape and lighting. If the result is not satisfied, then move on to the panel Image = Adjustments = Color Balance and adjust the color of my choice.
3 rd stage. Working on the details.
Stage 4 is often used when perspective does not work or position of objects or their form. I duplicate the layer and place an arbitrarily or changing back the layer mode to get a brighter, more saturated colors.
5,6,7,8 step refinement of details and the creation of the characters in the picture.
I hope that you get into stages, although they do not claim to be expert advice.
Sorry for my bad english if that is not understood.
Thank you for your attention!
