Desert by Moonlight

This is a piece I created in World Creator. When I was little, my family had a house up near Joshua Tree and I really enjoyed the different setting when we would visit. I know the cacti look a bit different up there but I think this captures the mood. Originally this was a simple piece I threw together for fun but I entered it as my second entry in a digital landscape competition in place of another piece I ran out of time on.

I had a difficult time deciding if the instructions suggested I should create two separate renders (different pieces) or two of the same landscape in different way so I made an abstract version of this image using World Creator and Photoshop that is just ever so cool in my opinion.... maybe it belongs on a t-shirt!

High Fantasy Morn

I created this in a program called World Creator to enter into a landscape design contest set by the publisher. It would be awesome to win but I don't know what I'm up against... I mean people get really good at this stuff and I don't spend a whole lot of time making every detail perfect but I came up with a render I really like... I think it looks like something that would be described in a fantasy novel.

I didn't know if the contest was asking for two separate renders (different scenes) or the same scene rendered in a different way so I used World Creator and Photoshop to come up with this render which looks a bit more like it's from a stylized video game!

Approaching Darkness

I called this Approaching Darkness. It was an early landscape that I made in Maya Paint... the colors are so bright... I used to think it was good but now it just looks completely unrealistic.

Afternoon Sun

This is one of the earliest digital landscapes I made in a program called Vue. I call it Afternoon Sun.

I feel I should do a lot more for this blog... I want to upload both newer and older things so that it adds a bit of color to my website. I don't know how often yet but I do think some of my visuals are at least worth looking at. They may not be something you'd by in a gallery but this one is pretty darn good!
