{{ Variation on the above pic- the not so lonely version! }}

love that pink landscape, that's my favourite so far.

That's nice

Halloween is months away!

{{{ That doesn't seem to stop shop selling Halloween stuff months early! Besides its just Who spooky, not Haloween spooky }}

Its spooky ! I'm imagining that scarecrow slowly turning.....

{{ Variation}}

I like 'em at a spookier distance. Like in Signs.

{{Well I went for that sort of vibe in the first one, so I wanted this one to be a bit more in your face and clearer- though obviously not too clear, the models are not good enough for up close scrutiny at that resolution in clear light. }}

So when do we see your animated remake of The Hobbit?

{{Three variations on a theme, pick a winner A, B or C }}

A


B


C

Cripes that's hard.... {{{ said the actress to the Bishop }}} I think I like the 1st one, night ones & moons are often more creepy, which is how I think of Dr Who

But then the last one has a creepy atmosphere also !

They're all good!  

{{{Cheers Halfy!
Azriel- thats two folk like A most, and 1 for B out of folk Ive asked. }}}

I'd do A followed by C, if forced to choose. B is a bit pinkish for my tastes, and lacks clear ground reference. C doesn't have as clear a ground reference as A, and a bit busy, but I like the texture better than the others.

{{ Well hope you like this one 'cause I wont be doing one like it again anytime soon!
You see its got quite a complicated set of cloud layers, and its got quite complicated terrain onto which I put a quite complicated set of shaders and then I thought, in my wisdom, would be nice if the ground was also sort of shiny, like glass and reflected the light, so then I thought Id stick some ships in, then I thought, they'd be good shiny to, so I put some more reflective shaders in there too, then I thought need somewhere for them to  be going, so I stuck the city in, but it was all dark so I nicked a trick from cinema and put another hidden spotlight light source in to front light it, and then I bunged the TARDIS in there as the right corner was too empty and nice patch of shiny ground drawing the eye, and that needed three more light sources, two for windows and one for the light on top.

The upshot of all these quite complicated things I decided to do was a render time over 12 hours long So I hope the end result was worth it! }}

err....the city does have a very realistic haziness about it, with sharpness in the foreground.  I think it would have been fine without the spaceships and such. I rather imagine a caravan working it's way towards the city.

{{{ I don't have a caravan model }}}

Its got that 'light after the rain' look, especially where the Tardis is, I think just the one shiny ship is all you need in that shot but, I like it

that yellow one is the best yet imo.

{{ Two views of more or less the same scene}}

I especially like those two! Stunning, Petty.
