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.

ariz
Well Done... What really captures my eyes is the terrain and detail around the out side. And of course the great haze work..
bebert
I adore the smoothness of the detail and especially sand. [I am not sure that the pole of Mars is also prominent :-) ]
eyeland
Very dramatic perspective & fascinating terrain. Light, shadow, & atmosphere all work perfectly here to create a high level of realism. Very powerful image.

Hi Bob! You've done everything right here! ;-) I really like your interpretation of this terrain. Excellent surfaces!
LutzB
Your interpretation is even more detailed than mine, congrats, Bob!
Darthmagus
Hey Bob, are you lutzed? I like a lot textures and shadows!!
JPSoft
This is a really interesting interpretation. I agree with ariz.
digitalis
Your rendering is perfect! However, and although it is a Mars terrain, I would give it another name (see Snow Angel and bebert), because of the lack of snow.
christianfly
I think that the way you make it gives an "animal" look to this terrain. Nothing to compare with Mars, but a pure creative work. I would call it the Nautile Rock ;-))
pclavett
