[Transcendent]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here ... I'll just give you a little background information about myself, I'll keep it very short, I know how boring it gets. I'm a 3d artist, not only a 3d artist, but *one* of those 3d artists who failed every art exam in high school ... and the only traditional art skill I know is "abstract" (Splattering black paint over an expensive canvis, it's just a nice way of saying, failed painter).

I hope to learn a bit of painting and illustrration from this forum, but, meanwhile, here's my "show and tell" picture, the stygian crossing.



Suggest, Critique, Nitpick, Comment ... you get the idea.

No crit. But I really like the colour usage in this one! Nice. What program did you use?

wow. i think thats really good. good texturing. the lighting isnt bad either. cant really think of what else to coment on. maybe work on the sky a bit.. add a bit more orange to balance it a bit, if you want

Death.tool - It's a secret. No it isn't I used bryce for rendering, 3dmax for modelling

Guy - Yes, the sky is certanly something I am struglling with ... I am seriously considering using a photo, in contrast to something completely procedrial, like this, but I can't seem to find anything right ...

try terragen for skies.

i usually mix in some realworld clouds, but they ain't bad straight out of the program either.
