Thankyou very much Pleiades, I'm glad you liked some of the things on my website (although I am trying to fill it with more serious , thought-out pictures now that I have gotten-to-grips with my art programs over the last 3-4 years - you may have noticed the 'Camel' which was never meant to be analysed by another artist (such as yourself) but it was fun. Your website is cool and I love your "view from the moon" and "thinker". Also, the last yellowish "on hold" picture you have in the bottom right of your demo page 3 looks very promising. Keep it up :) Squirrelt I thought I might ask you about my latest piece which I followed a tutorial on streaming-light rays below. What do you think? Are the light beams too strong?

Cooooool. This has turned out 10 times better than I imagined. Well done, you really make the scene look and feel as though you are there. I love what you've done to the scene...amazing. Please keep this up. Squirrelt

Cool. I like your choice of placement for the sun...it may be worth doing a test render where you brighten and redden the sunlight and sun halo, and then darken the trees to make them look more silhouetted... kinda atmospheric. All in all though this has all the makings of a good piece (if it is a wip) or if you decide to leave as-is then I like your texture for the foreground terrain - looks like leaves on the floor. Beautiful. Keep it up SquirrelT
