I'm having  challenging time lately finding the best composition for my landscape artwork.  Perhaps I've been spoiled or tainted by my arch/viz career, where an image always has a center of interest (such as a bathroom vanity or kitchen sink area), and is always rendered for print at 11x8.5 ratios...

But I feel the need to delve into more panoramic renders for my personal artwork, and find it a bit frustrating to decide on and implement focal points.  I've read up on tradition landscape composition techniques; maybe I'm just trying to cram too much into my scenes?

Anyway, I'll be posting up some recent works-in-progress for you all to critique, so stay tuned and don't be nice about the scenes, please!  Let me have it.  I could use some new ideas!

Hello! One your older Wheel of Time fan works (at least, it was attributed to you?) is being featured this week on Fan Art Friday on Dragonmount.com: [link]

Yep! That's one of my older works, but I still like it a bit. After having read The Shadow Rising a few more times, that image looks nothing like my mental picture of Cold Rocks Hold now, but it was a fun and interesting piece to create! Hope you enjoyed it too.

Hey there my friend! Any new personal work? I rarely log on to CG Talk forum since I'm forbid to comment there for some reason - so don't know what you doing there so far too. Are people still arguing about "the best 3D software in the world" ? :D

Take care and spend some time for art! :highfive:

Hello Kerem! Been working on some big art projects, but I fear they're so damn complex the progress is tedious. I'm currently sculpting a buddha statue for a nice little mountain path scene. CGTalk is ridiculous as always but often there are piles of useful tips and techniques too, along with the heated discussions which I try to avoid anymore.

Take care as well, hope to see more work from you soon too!
