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.

This resembles Szatoria-27 in the 3rd section of the 231st galaxy of the prime black system of the ruler Tzaffizduo. Very Well done Bob. I am surprised you knew about this place, most people don't...

Nice inverted (I think) terrain and superb surface mapping as always. I love that sky, unusual colours but they fit the landscape beautifully :-)

Ah - the strange terrain! I smile on this! Yes, excellent work - textures, sky lighting & all!

Truly excellent work - love the ridged erosion effect (In fact love everything about this picture). A nice change of direction, meaning shorter render times - means we'll see even more of your excellent work. Magnificent work. V

Beautiful done. Looks like an inverted terrain. Great idea!

You know why I love this? Your surfaces are really subtle and are easy on the eye. The feel of the picture reminds me of something you'd see hanging in Gramma's lounge room, very soothing and picturesque. I love it, more please?

I like a lot your fantastic picture! Excellent work!
sanosoke
What a strange terrain you've got here, almost sexual, but I think I like it. I would say that you could probably do a little more with these ridges, like isolate them and surface them independently, but that's just a minor remork. Great work!
VisionBlue
Outstanding mood and light ... well done ... and great terrain
gradient
Sure looks like Bryce + eroded...XLT surface work as always!
classyladytwo
