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.

Cool terrain work and AWEsome clouds! I love the surface (color & texture), vegetation and marshy foreground. This image has a big "wow' factor- the scope of it is incredible. Outstanding work, Bob.

For me that's your best TG2 work, Bob. Compositionally near prefect. I was initially imagining those round slabs on the far right to be huge, but when I viewed the full size image they were scaled down for me by the proximity of the grass to them. That wee scaling issue and perhaps a tad softening of those magnificent clouds. You have to take into account that I'm not long out of bed and am still a bit grumpy. So the overall impression is: Excellent work, and well done.

stunning !

I love the marshy grasslands up front, and the sky and clouds. Great use of Mark's terrain here- a wonderful place to explore!

outstanding work!

Although I just got up myself, I tend to agree with John on the plant scale and clouds and most importantly creativity. An excellent example of persistence paying off!
phfrancke
you made it a real place!

Fantastic image and lots of details. Great work.

The terrain reminds me somewhat of "Cerrox" - a Mojo import, if I recall. Altogether - and I agree with John - your best, and most innovative as yet!

Excellent image

I agree with Weeladdie... a stunningly vast terrain. There's plenty of stuff going on here - but it's the expansiveness that does it for me. Very good, Bob. I think I'll fav this 'un.

Superb terrain, lighting and atmosphere, Bob!!!

Excellence! I love the angled cliffs on the right and don't see the scale issue...I quess its all in how you look at it and comprehend...size is subjective...how big is "Big"?...how tall is "Tall"?...its up to us to decide...anyway...you know I'm a contrast freak and would love to see a bit more contrast and darkening...as it seems a bit washed out...still, a super image!
2121
wow, impressive scene
Fahrenheit451
Fabulous work Bob! You are really becoming quite a master at this!
stealthman
Beautifully done!
kasalin
the foreground looks very realistic, Bob.... like a postcard image.... wonderful low clouds again
geirla
Great landscape and scene!
Armands
Well, I see there a "scale issue" :) Plants should be vere very tiny at the bottom of "round slabs on the far right", probably as dot like. For now seems like they are like trees or the montains really are only a sand stacks :) Other than that really great image!
Dotthy
your cloudscapes are also fantastic and on this one awesome!!!!!!!!!!
sossy
stunning composed landscape! wonderful sky, outstanding textures and fantastic render! ;o)
