Well this goes way back. This is the island image I made early in this thread to demonstrate creating your own brushes in Sketchclub. I added a little sunset to the landscape and then brought a couple of sculpted tikis in. I used quite a bit of HDR (high dynamic range) filtering to produce the final image here. Strong HDR produces the effect of super detail and contrast. It is a kind of too real reality. It immediately gave me the feeling of an old hand colored postcard from bygone days. So I gave it some texture and color manipulation to age it. It looks like it was found all dirty and bent up in the bottom of and old lost steamer trunk.
