For a while now I've wanted to do an image for this song:  [www.youtube.com/watch](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_ePqMy6zF4)

It sounds very beautiful and I really suggest you listen.

Anyways I've been kicking around ideas on how to do the image and playing around in hex with it as a back burner project.  Today before the Phins-Jets game started (what a 4th quarter) I finally decided to do the image.  The land part was mostly made and the rock I worked on today. 

So I'm messing around in poser and I have settings turned low but since I normally don't do that good of work I'm not expecting much.  I started with the river mats and after a few failed attempts I look up one of BB's examples in Acadia's thread and adapt it to what I'm trying to accomplish (that part didn't work out as well as it could have, but it was better than my original so I let it go).  So I fiddle around with the rock mats next, copy them over to the rest of the land, tweak them, and then bring back some of the tweaks to the rock.  Then I quickly add in the clouds and play around with them. At the last minute I add the trees and that stone obelisk, crank up the settings and viola. 

In the end, I really liked how the land and the rock turned out and how trees meshed nicely with it.  I had to soften the water and post-work it due to poke through, but for me it seemed like I did a better job than usual.  I'm going to be adding a version with the song lyrics to my gallery tomorrow, but I just wanted to share this original version.

If you guys have any images of personal triumph, something that was a pleasant surprise, or something you feel was better than your normal output, feel free to share them and why you felt they were so good.

WARK!
