Seriously though, can you explain how you do it? Do you literally start from scratch and create the scenes like someone would draw it on a blank piece of paper (though obviously using a computer instead of a paper), or do you cut and paste certain shapes and images together?

Its mainly based on fractal maps, then addidng layers and textures on top of them.

So yea you start with a blank piece of paper, you make a fractal map to get the shapes, add textures, add lighting etc etc. It can be a bit complicated but the results are amazing

Without the characters would be fine, the field of roses, with the skulls is my favorite part, and of course the tower. Thanks Bro.
