step 1 of 5
For the texture i used some parts of a stone wall tutorial - but made it myself.
sources used for this step:- : source
step 2 of 5
Making the stairs was one of the hardest things to do. I hadto pay attention to the 3d in a 2d picture, and make them look the most realistic possible.
step 3 of 5
The egg is from a Pxl contest, link is below. I just used it for a shape reference1
The final egg was made using a tutorial ( link below ) even though i didn't agree with all of it.
I used overlays of white for highlights and i even made a distorted reflection of the inside of the tower if you watch closely in the lower part of the egg.
And I added the winter tree from imageafter.

step 4 of 5
In this step i blended the tower into the background - i experimented a bit with diff. sources.
I also added the icicles from sxc.hu warped them and painted them.
You can see i added the ivy and blended the bridge with the path & grass. Man i wasted so many hours!! ha ha.

step 5 of 5
In the final step i created the crack, by painting overlaying and repainting the highlights o nthe cracks. I also added the icicles on it so that it looks like winter escaped - you should see this in high res.
I also distorted the image seen in the egg- background- as i saw on the internet the image in snowballs magnifies and doesn't turn upside down.
I added shadows, displaced them and made final color adjustments.
Thanks for reading my SBS.
