Nice enviros! If you should ever happen to have a tutorial hanging around, would you care to put it up? I always wonder how people pull that off.

[Ayem]

Your colour choices are lovely! They have such atmosphere and depth. I really like the idea of that alien robot thing. It's a nice twist on the typical alien beam.
And that mountain scene is beautifully shaded... all the shadows seem to be in exactly the right place.

[xchosun1x]

nice!!!

[robinchyo]

i really love the thickness of the fog in the first image. it really adds a lot to the atmosphere and the depth. the structure in the third image is nice and complex. lovely! :]

[mariusz]

very cool! I like your first painting with robot andcow :) Muuuu :)

[Duman]

Wow. Scenic would be an understatement. Some really beautiful pics there. The snow covered mountains and green cliff are amazing. May I inquire as to the average time it takes to create one of these beauties?

[zweiDee]

wonderfull work man! love the snowy forest, your work have
a great realism. *****

[nickmarshallvfx]

Some of the best work ive seen all year, way to end the year with a bang!!
I couldnt begin to crit these, they are just so well crafted that i would feel very out of place to even try.
Ill just give you 5 stars instead and beg you to post more often. PLEASEEEE!!

Now these are some top environments, thanks for sharing!! downloading now!!

[JustinBeckett]

All of these are so spectacular, great work!

[Dahami]

I like the sense of scale in the one with the domed polar outpost. These are great.

[jupiter10]

Theses are really spectacular, I especially like the first one, and the way the atmosphere shows the scale of the machine. One nit pick on that one: It looks like the horizon line is about an average persons height (or slighlty higher) from the ground...and the top roof line of the barn looks very horizontal...which is throwing me off a little. To my eye, the top roof line should be tilted down slightly to put it in perspective with the low horizon. Really great stuff though.

[Earendil]

I really like them all! A+ enviros!

Check out the last image, the bird flock at the top of the image, they all appear to have a white outline around them.

Moar!

[sony]

I loved all, that cow abduction stuff is funny, that skelo-bot is really amazed to see the cow, expressive!!!

[qlanuknow]

[Lotet]

[Jelluh]

Nice work. First one made me chuckle, aliens on the dutch countryside...

[Wheeljack18]

I feel like I have just gone for a pleasant walk. ( in a couple of star systems). Very talented work you have here. Looking forward to more. No C and C to offer but I am always interested in seeing more concerning your process.

I normally do not quote with images, but this painting really grabbed my attention! something about those crows perched on a ricketedy bridge.

also, the snowy forest painting above this one made me cold!

really nice work! your colors are applied perfectly!

[Jesse van Dijk]

Hey all, thanks for the many positive replies!

Walnut>> cheers man. I've written a few making of's, perhaps those are of interest to you: here (http://www.3dtotal.com/tutorials/pitch/), here (http://www.itsartmag.com/features/cliffdwellings/Cliffdwellings-p1.html), and here (http://www.3dm3.com/forum/articles.php?action=viewarticle&artid=129).

Ayem, xchosun1x, robinchyo, mariusz>> cheers guys!

Duman>> Thanks man. Generally around 10 to 15 hours, but that's a rough indication only. Usually they take a lot longer than they should!

zweiDee, space-sprayer, Darktwin, JustinBeckett, Dahami>> many thanks guys.

Jupiter10, you're right, I'll have to fix that. Thanks!

Earendil>>thanks. It's an artefact of the sharpen filter applied over too much contrast. My bad!

sony, qlanuknow, Reject-D, Dizon, spookybabydoll, MikeyH>> Many thanks!

katana>> these days I'll work on as big a canvas as my comp can handle (although I start of in very low res - 640x300 for example).

Ead, psychoboy, kyronimus, Kuidf^, artistcaleb, Mr.Punch, Omenspirits, Chagan, clanlord, ghoulio, `ej, Ray Stiles, Layil, matt0917, lotet, Jelluh, Wheeljack18, Joex>> cheers guys (and girls, hey Layil!), much appreciated.
