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 tried a render in tg2 recently,after 10 hrs of rendering, I sill didn't have anything worth posting so I understand the blood, sweat and tears you have put into to this program to get these kind of awesome results. Either that or you are a glutton for punishment....:_) Beautiful and very talented work, Bob.

If you want at least 50% realism, work up some patience and concentration; and, you will get there with TG2 Joe.

incredible photo-realistic!! and wonderful light :)

I tell you Robert, this has got some real realism in it. When it comes to realism, this maybe a 'simple' scene, but it looks good enough to climb.

agree with ariz. Bob, your eye for light and color served you well in this again. Even the blue of the bluesky is perfect. Just the color of the rocks are a litle bit off, and the cracks are applied a little too strong. But I am picky here. Overall it's good enough to climb ;-)

That mount is outstanding Bob... the swirls and details are superb, lends such a beauty to the colors of the surface. POV is perfect as is that sky ... not too much there to take the eye from the mountain.
