Valley View WIP

Working on a new illustration, learning as I go.

I like the perspective here, with the glimpse to a larger view through the trees. It tells a bit of a story, makes me feel like I'm on a hike and there's an exciting view beyond. I do feel like the foreground vegetation is rather yellow and, well, kind of depressing, hehe. It might be appropriate for the season or area you're depicting, of course, but I'd prefer to see some more vibrant green stuff.

Haha Thanks, yeah its getting there, still getting use to all the functions for everything. Lottsa tweaking and fiddling with things to learn.

Clay · March 23, 2015, 02:24:36 AM

Did some more fiddling.

This very much better, I like it too. If you have some white (daisies) or blue flowers (bluebells), that would give the foreground some more interest and color variation.

No, Dutch. I like some of your constructions, like tolere. Very intriguing.

Clay · March 23, 2015, 04:11:20 AM

Thx, loads of render time with that software though, true raytracing kinda sucked back then lol, specially with old outdated software.

Clay · March 23, 2015, 04:25:01 AM

Tolere was built all in Bryce, every piece, animated it once but thats long gone, all the mats, pieces everything was all bryce, oh the propellar was a greyscale image imported into the terrain editor, otherwise all Bryce 5 I believe the version was, sorry been working with that app since version 3 LOL!

Oshyan · March 23, 2015, 06:56:00 PM

The new version is a definite improvement. Well done.

Really like where you're headed with this...damn fine for one new to TG 3. Have you played around with colour variation in the veg using the colour tab in the pop? There are threads on it's use here and, as I've not had the best of luck using it being red/green colour blind, I can't give specific hints but Dune has done some pretty good variations using it so I know it's do able.
