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. ;)

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.

Thx, loads of render time with that software though, true raytracing kinda sucked back then lol, specially with old outdated software.

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!

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.
