I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

I really like the cloud shape and placement- wonderful surface textures/shaders. Excellent work Bob.

The terrain, lighting and clouds are amazing! But i think the trees and grass look out of place in this desert. Very well done though

Terregen is somewhat difficult to get expected results, so anything looking good is a feat in itself. I agree about the plants but everything else is superb!
bebert

I love the cloud trail. Detail in the "Photo" is excellent. Great job on the "terraced" landscape, a fine touch Bob.

Marvelous results Bob! Is this TG2? I tried working with it, but gave up. The interface is quite confusing and not very user friendly! I commend anyone who can get results like this from it!!
Darthmagus
Very convincing work!

I like especially the realistic looking sky and the terrain-formation. By the way, you are making an astonishing progress working with TG2.

Great work, Bob: the clouds look fantastic! - I see what you mean about the shrubbery. I'm eschewing their use until I learn more - or the real TG2 is released. Good luck with the new computer!

Hey Bob, strata, sky and lighting are very cool! I Agree about vegetation humbling.. generally speaking it's difficult for me to use vegetation to that point of tgd developement. i got 100% crash rate every time i used vegetation :((( Best Regards Max

Lighting, sky, and mood are superb on this fine landscape artwork. The trees are a neat addition in that they help impress on our minds the true size and scale of this amazing vista, Excellent creation Bob!!!

Yep have to agree - amazing progress on your TG2 stuff. Floating grass is an issue here but on the whole this image has a lot of potential. Get the trees right and you'll be home and hosed. I look forward to your next one when your computer is up and running. Nice to see your stuff again. :B
