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.

You do excellent work. I was wondering though, how much art training you have? Your compositions of landscapes are really good, and I know making a really good composition in a landscape is difficult. You really did change the mood of the picture with your small color alterations. The only problem is the title -- it doesn't do justice to the work. I do not find the muted colors "dull", I find them quite serene. Might I suggest a title of "Serene October" or "Quiet October" or something along those lines would be more in keeping with the mode of the picture.

I like this one better than your previous one, mainly because the atomsphere feels quiet and tranquil ...I like the tree on the left, not sure what you mean by Vue HD trees, but I will check it out..(I have not been on Vue's website lately).

Lovely, I can feel the moist chill in the air. I do prefer your trees, they are more asymmetrical and natural.
