There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and the other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist, and thus they are all that matters. In this Photoshop tutorial, we will learn how to create a fantastic piece. First we added background above clouds, then add mountains and windmills. Next added castle and woman, then blended it together with adjustment layers. Also added a light source and finally added Camera Raw Filter.
