Simply to Exist

I slowly walk through the forest
and feel the soft jade moss
caress my feet as I pass by all
the beauty and wonder that surrounds me,
for today I have a purpose.
Today I capture your essence for all to see.

Pen and pad in hand I approach
the clearing ahead where I know you
will be waiting for me.
You always are.
A stone gray sentinel keeping
watch over your domain.
Branches stretching up to the sky
and bending this way and that at the
slightest breeze.
As if paying homage to some unknown
deity by bowing day after day.

I find a comfortable spot and begin
to sketch your massive frame.
As the hours go on it becomes

4 - Forbidden Palaceby ~matrix7

Customization / Wallpaper / Landscapes & Scenery

All done completely in Terragen. The only post work was the black border around the edge. All textures (thanks Stotty!) and such was Terragen. The temple and landscape was all made by me :D (Big Grin)

Comments welcomed and appreciated. #4 in my Terragen series.

nice colors, and it really looks like the temple is deteriorated and grown into the landscape. .or the landscape has grown on it, rather.

Really good. I love the greenery growing on the temple. Nice Job :) (Smile)

Wow - 100% TG!

I'm not a fan of the fissures either - I think it'd be better served without them. Maybe a low hanging fog. Just IMHO.

oooooh, i see you're getting more versatile with the Terragen....nice

awesome indelible scenery, nice render?

This is a wonderful way to get the most out of terragen, I do like the bumpy textures, they work well in this - apart from in the distance. Those holes are a gread idea, but they don't really add any value to this - I would suggest just having one similar to a moat perhaps - maybe even fill it with water

The atmosphere this is engulfed in is really the cest part in my mind, it has a very mystical colouring and dense feel.

Very good efforts mate Thumbs Up

and credit goes to both you and sixwings for the experimentation on external terrain manipulations...and thanks for the mention too.

Dude! that temple looking structure is awesome Eyes

And the texture work on this is nearly perfect, especially the ground araound the temple and the temple itself... the only thing missing texture is the hills in the background.

That sky is really cool too... the atmosphere settings really compliment this.

As you said in your email to me - the cracks definitely need work, and if you could get them out of the hills somehow that would be good too.

If you can get those things fixed then this is going into my faves Thumbs Up

P.S. reminds me of something that would be in Serious Sam :D (Big Grin)
