BIO
My real name is Lars, and I live in Denmark. All my life I've been drawing and making pictures, occationally as a "professional" but always with an amateur ("for the love of it") approach.Being a proficient airbrush artist, the jump to computer graphics (Photoshop, Painter) wasn't all that hard for me, it was just a question of understanding how to employ the techniques to this new medium.
In july -02 I dug into the world of 3D rendering for the first time, in Bryce 5. A truly fascinating experience! My computer has been rendering ever since ;o)At the beginning I thought I'd be making lots of sci-fi stuff, but something happened right back from the early Bryce days: I started to look at trees and nature, the sky etc. in a new manner, or more intensely at least. I've always been a big fan of beautiful landscapes, and instead of sci-fi, I began a "quest" for 3D landscaping and beliveable environments.
Over the years, the 3D rendering has more or less taken over my creative endeavours. Vue became my application of choice from the start of 2003, with Poser, XFrog and Onyxtree as auxilliary programs. Plus a whole arsenal of new and ancient freeware, to be mentioned are Bantam3D Grass and Plantstudio.

awesome scene
stalkeron
The trees and terrain work are great! but the trolls are in the view distance of the two, so the story wouldn't hold for real. The cave is a bit jagged for my taste... I know those are a lot of crits, but the image has potential:)

The posing is first class along with the atmo and ecosystem, stalkeron has a point, but judging purely on technical rather than reality this is an impressive render, a great scene, like a screen shot out of LOTR.

Thanks for your comments so far. Of course "stalkeron" is right, both about the cave being a bit jagged, could be painted away, but I decided not to, I'm a bit fed up with this scene, and about the "story" which is just a quick "excuse" for making this which in fact is much more about compostion, tree design and ecosystem work than producing a fairytale - oh, but wait... you didn't notice? The trolls blend very well with the surroundings unless you see them as silhouettes as in this picture :)
kelvinhughes

Excellent work, well done.

I like it. The image tells a story. If you like those type of images, you should check out www.mernac.com. I like how you have several different scenes going on all at once, the Gnomes in the foregrounds, then the adventurers, the wondeful wooded area and way in the back the castle they come form. Iy is a well thought our scene - Rick

I feel a tense atmosphere. I imagined a lot of stories went before and after the scene. Terrific work!

Your scenes just get better and better, more magnificent than the last one! This one absolutely outshines everything I've seen this week ~ magnificent!!!!

As usual, technically perfect, but sorry, I'm not an "amateur" for this king of scene. I prefer Bigbraader's landscapes without any people.

Interesting departure from the kind of scenes you do usualy. Once more, the vegetation work is amazing ! I like the natural poses of the guys !

Your being too darn hard on yourselve and who knows if caves have jagged edges?? myself I've never been in one or even close lol: I think it wonderful and perfect enjoy it !

Love the POV and composition. Excellent image!

You know, there is so much that is good in this image, I didn't notice the texture smear/stretch until you mentioned it. We are always our own toughest judge. Luckily, this is in a dimly lit and out of the way area. It really doesn't diminish the wonderful picture.
