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.

Say, as good as you've always been with these scenes, some more fanciful then others and so on and so forth, I think you should try and put you mind to creating YOU OWN version of "The Vally of the Shadow of Death". Yeah!, that would be awesome, I mean if you could handle it, right? hehehe But though you do all these nice, pretty, flowery, lush green life everywhere, you also have a very great skill that you may not even be aware of, which is, you know how to lay out a photogenic scene. I'll email you this since I think you rarely if ever actually come back to read or reply to all your fans, bad, bad, bad you hahahehehehe Keep it up though...............md :)

Excellent work on the scene and the lady. One of your best.

Very well done. I like the way her leg sort of shows through the gown like it would in real life if it was wet:)

Very nice pose, and excellent use of DOF. The ripple is a nice touch. The hair is fighting the natural look of the scene a bit, but that's almost always true (even of dynamic hair). I find hair usually benefits from at least a little postwork, because polygon hair is so stiff and strand hair is so uniform and programmatic. The clothing works very well, though, and that's another dynamic element that often appears too stiff or too simple. I like how the light is very bright and ambient, but the scene still has its share of shadows. Very peaceful work.

Great all up. I have to admit that I often don't like people in your scenes. Yet in this case, the relaxed and sensuous nature of it is a perfect addition. As has already been noted, the lighting is cetrainly believable and seems to be well placed to make the most of the details, like the excellent grass in the forehand. My only negative criticism is that if you look at the ripples in the water, going by where they have extended on the right side, they should actually be reacting to the rock and sending secondary ripples out. I am led to wonder whether all the trees in the background are individual object, or whether they are a previously rendered scene used as a backdrop? I am not entirely sure, but are they anenomes (wind flowers) behind the woman?

This is really a superb image ! The landscape is excellent and the pose of the character is perfect. The ripples on the water are a fantastic addition. how did you achieve that result ? Did you model them ?
dalma
Superbe scène très réaliste!!!
saphira1998

drifterlee
THis is really beautiful!
psyoshida
I like your even better. Very beautiful work! Soft and lovely.
bernoullilemniscate
Beautiful, idyllic picture. I do have a technical question though: How do you do the ripples around her toe? I have never been able to do that. Its been so frustrating not being able to have the water interact with an object in it that I have given up on using water in my scenes. As always you remain one of my most favorite artists, even if I forget to mention it
faroutsider
