tigaer-design.com proudly presents: terragen - 69

D³SCR!PTION

excuse the abstract title but i had no better ideas - even while working on the pic no good title came up in my mind. while the filename was 69.psd all the time i decided the give that 69 the honor to work as a title here. the 69 survived the whole 3 weeks i worked on the piece so... it seems right. ;) alright - what do we have here: the scenery we see here is not on earth, that's for sure. the whole environment looks very alien. i tried not to create a very realistic environment - more a not so common kind of ambience. with this piece i tried to negotiate a feeling off our world. to let you see things from the eyes of an alien eagle soaring through the skies of that far far away planet.

TECHN!CAL DETA!LS

i tried to work out the shoreline with much more detail than usual. especially the water. in my opinion it's the best waterline i ever made. a whole day went into this. another thing i tried is the particular fog. i rendered a second pic from the same terrain with low fog setup and implemented it into my pic - it worked nicely after some alterations. the planet took me a while and i'm not 100% satisfied with that bastard - though a lot of work went into that part too.

aside that... some people think i add my textures via terragen and surface maps. no i don't - all the texturing you see in my pieces are completely done in photoshop. i don't have the terragen knowledge to do that directly inside the program - and see no need to do that. i have much more control over all the details when i add and alter these things manually in PS.

Aha it's working now, don't know what happend but it's working.

Oke how can I say this nice... DAMN YOU!!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE THIS SO GOOD?!?! Hehe, you did a fine job on every part of the picture. From the cracks in the ground to the mist on the surface and in the mountains. I think you are one of the best artists on devart who only posts something only when it is perfect not earlier.

+fav for sure!

This one is in fact a great work,
but I think it would be even greater if that strange planet with that funny saturn ring around it and the moon, that looks like it just bounced into the picture from the right side would be invisible

I love the details like the sun on the left, that mirrors nicely in the ocean. Maybe the cracks in the ground got a bit large, they would be hmm... i think some dozens of meters in diameter, so no way to cross them afoot, but there was an earthquake some minutes before taking this picture for sure ;)
