SKYSEA - First go at Terragen 2

maybe...:)

Sry Martin, I may clean the thread if you'd like?

Haha don't worry about it. 30+ comments looks nice. :D

I love this SOOOOOOO much. It looks so realistic to me. I honestly thought it was a photo at first then rad told me it was made from a program, I was like I'm stupid :P.

Anyway, added it to the treasured artwork section. Well deserved, you should stop by to post more art :P. I love your works. And I love you :P. I keed I keed.

Hmmm, it's okay, but with terragen obviously it is hard to get the hang of it, so it's okay for one of your first. Like i said, there is so much more you could have done. Your fg and bg seem too seperate, which is mainly because of the mountains in the back ; there isn't enough, which is hurting the depth. Lighting is good. Clouds aren't good at all, especially the blending around the rock in the foreground. But, like I said, it's one of the first you've done, so you'll get better. :)


EDIT: if you're looking for inspiration, click on the luminarium link in my sig. It's an international art collective that i contribute to, and there is amazing artists there that use terragen in their pieces.

Thanks, but I can't really agree with your criticism. I do agree that the clouds could be improved, maybe with a second cloud layer that makes the cloud layer more bumpy, but I think the blending is fine. I also think you contradict yourself by saying that the foreground and background are too separated, reducing the contrast here would definitely push the foreground back and give it less depth. I this kind of light, that's how the contrast would behave, even though it's enhanced in post. Also, the texture would be gone in the light. Go look at some similar photography and you'll see what I mean. So I don't think there is so much more that could actually improve it!

However, of course I'll be able to do more detailed scenes in strong daylight (much more difficult) later. I just don't think this was that bad for a first go. :)
