A work in progress. I am in the process of adding vegetation. Some trees, a lot of mixed shrubs and grass. One more cloud layer needs to be added.
Good start!
Good start indeed. I think it's already very nice.
The light is pretty brilliant actually, keep it going man !!
Thank you all. I was actually rather taken with the overcast sky and how the lighting interacts. The terrain needs more color in some faint amounts. Rendering an update currently so more posts in a few hours.
Great light and hazy mood and colours, only the harsh clouds seem too much?
Maybe soften the edges a little?
Look forward to see the next one!
:)

Very nice terrain!
Great terrain! This will come out very beautiful with vegetation and a bit modified clouds.
I was supposed to post an update earlier but adding the additional cloud layer caused the GI calculations to take a much longer time then expected. I am about four hours into this and the GI is only half finished.

But it will be worth the wait...great scene y got going here mate.
I now have it down at a fraction of the previous render time. I made some alterations with the sky. The vegetation is almost finished.
Sky is looking quite nice compared to the original IMHO
very photographic!
Sky is really nice, indeed.
Indeed, superb sky.

Thank you all. Agreed, the sky looks improved and more photorealistic. I had to make some adjustments to some of the trees. That takes a bit more time.
Finished.
Very nice.
Great Sky!
Masterful render and well imagined image...*****
It has a very fine feel, and almost looks like a woodcut somehow, very finely chiseled.

Interesting observation and description. The terrain result was rather unexpected and surprising.

The general idea was to have the semi-arid pine forest merge into a highland steppe and ultimately merge into a more arid region as seen in the far background.
This is very cool looking indeed, It's lacking realism, but in a good way, as it has a unique feel and high quality to it, Congrats on this fine piece
That's it! Great :)

Yeah it's kinda hyperreal. There's a beautiful softness to the light which is well controlled here.
There might be a bit of bloom there and the overcast sky will naturally diffuse the light.
