SF&F Picture 5 out of 9 by Skip Moore.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Garden Corner

The architecture here was originally supposed to be part of the moonlight scene, but with a quick wall and some experimentation with plants and lighting, out comes the corner of garden from Greece, or from Eddings' Tolnedra. It definitely needs a splash of color or a change in balance, but the experiment turned out fairly well....

2 Jun 1999	Skip Moore	Loading... I sometimes wonder about the lack of comments myself, but that makes the few I get more meaningful, I guess. Yes, the walls are flat -- when I said "quick wall" I meant it -- I didn't even bother to apply a texture -- just the colors. The rendering software is POV-Ray. I've tried others (Bryce, etc.) but the engineer/programmer in me just loves entering code by hand (and I'm too cheap to buy anything else).
8 Sep 1999	Elven Angel	Loading... Ooooh..... Beautiful pic. A little sterile if you ask me, but I think it's supposed ta be like that.. Also.... as mentioned earlier, why are there so few comments!! This pic is awesome!
25 Sep 1999	Vluter the Gnomish Sage	Loading... One should always watch out for objects like this. One never knows where one will end up if one steps through...
12 Nov 1999	Coolbreeze	Loading... Wish I had this in MY garden!
8 Dec 1999	Fir Darig	Loading... Very, very nice picture. I like the bushes. Perhaps place it on a mountain top instead of the wall. The scenery is very inspiring (sorry for the english)
12 Dec 1999	Tonya	Loading... I think the pic is great. I think it would look cool with something inside the dome, though. Like your 'free for the taking' sword. Something like that.
31 Dec 1999	Ce`nedra	Loading... Its nice! How did you do it?
2 May 2000	Courtney Weger Cantrell	Loading... The bushes do look good--very realistic. As for the opinions that the whole thing looks too "sterile," couldn't you just say it's "well-manicured" instead? ;-) I'd love to see you do more with this picture, though, just to see what could happen. Keep up the great work!
8 Oct 2001	Amanda "Lucy" Jones	Loading... very nice! I'd love to have a back yard that looks like this!
14 Jun 2004	Laila	Loading... Wow... I really like it. I think you should add some rosebushes and a fountain, though. That would really make it look like the gardens at the Imperial Palace in Tolnedra.
