Stage one: A proposed idea for the artwork. This was a very exciting opportunity to push both myself and my hardware to the limits.

Stage two: Four months in the making, I finished the digital painting. Within Photoshop the image size was 270 x 970cm and the working file size was 28GB. It was hard work, both I and the British Embassy are very happy with the end result.
