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.

Absolutely gorgeous, really interesting to look at, and vivid bright colours. Well done 5* THe only thing I will say is that its a very poorly positioned town, defensively speaking, of course :D

Compared to the ordinary Vue user it is of course excellent but if you compare with other works from the same artist it falls short. For an example, the "Intermezzo - Taking a Shortcut On Their Own" has better light, more details, and more perfection in those details, ie check the flowers. Today's picture doesn't have any dominating master piece that attracts attention like the big tree. Also the figure in Intermezzo sits more real life like on the horse and the movements appear more natural and relaxed.

The background looks perhaps a little hastily done but the foreground is totally believable. Amazingly realistic detail!!

i find the scenery very impressive. i love the poses, and the story that goes with it. i have to disagree on just about every point with vintorix. it's true the "light" looks a bit less photographic in this one because the scene is a smidge too saturated, and a little too yellow (not enough green and blue to the light). but it also avoids blow out, is very balanced, and works well in every part of the image. the mountains make a clearer focal point than the trees in former images. having recently viewed some photos of children riding, i'd say the riding pose is absolutely outstanding. and just because the impressive details are more in the background than the fore doesn't make them any less striking, imho. i think the only thing i might critique is that the mountain distracts from the village, and it might be stronger if the two were more closely associated somehow.
