Thanks, CallOps for keeping an eye on my works. Here is another one. Took me about 1h30 in Photoshop and Painter.

Your landscapes are breath catching ! *faints*
I gotta learn to do that

**Wheeljack18** · July 20th, 2007, 11:50 PM

You landscapes are luscious. I want to wipe them up and eat them Killer! I agree though that the foreground on the last tropical one needs a littel more love so that it pops!

**Alex Baer** · July 21st, 2007, 12:12 AM

the color schemes you create, along with the atmosphere of the environments, are wonderful. can't wait to see more posts!

**oomgawa** · July 21st, 2007, 03:07 AM

Glad to see that you post here, too!

Just found your thread incidentally.
Your landscapes are stunning!! The tutorials in your homepage are also very helpful for how to find the inspiration and new ideas.

Cheers!!

All of your enviros are freakin amazing! I am just starting to work on digital landscape type work but without the aid of classes... Do you have any books or online tutorials that i could use to be able to learn on my own? I have CS3 and Painter X and im not sure which would be better to start from scratch with. Whats the opinion on the uses for each program?

**Helioth** · February 14th, 2009, 06:27 PM

Some gorgeous composition and colour you have.
I think really focussing on the brushwork would do wonders for you.

**jedininjaman** · February 15th, 2009, 01:03 AM

**Surion** · February 15th, 2009, 04:09 AM

absolutely awesome!

**Asatira** · February 15th, 2009, 12:10 PM

Woot! Excellent environments.

**Timsalcove** · July 22nd, 2009, 07:29 PM

Wow! your environments are kicking serious ass! My only suggestion might be to hit up the anatomy a little more, but even that is shaping up nicely! Also, a few of your environments look a little blown own/over-saturated, but only a few. I think they'd be a little more pleasant to look at if your highlights weren't pure white, and only the focal point (or the brightest point in the image) was a pure white. Just an idea. Sometimes less is more and all. : P But you're really fantastic. Great moods, which is one of the most important factors in creating envo's! The very first picture in your most recent black and whites would have to be my favorite. It's super cool. Another idea might be to take some time with one of your favorite concepts and really finish it out. Any of these would look awesome finished. Peace for now, I'll check back later to make sure you're not slacking off. : P

PS: GOOD JOB! *Thumbsup*

those enviorments are so nice

**Ros1** · November 19th, 2010, 01:35 PM

Very nice enviros...

**extra/card** · August 29th, 2011, 08:00 PM

I really like your environments - I saw your thread in the critique section (I didn't leave any crits, it looked great to me

)and then went through your sketchbook. They're amazing!

My only suggestion would be with your figures - it looks like your brush strokes are going parallel to the forms instead of across them. For example, I saw on page two that your marks ran lengthwise of the figure's legs instead of going horizontally through and around the legs. The direction of the strokes make them a little flat, and if you switched it up they would have more volume.

But I really like your environments! A few posts back you said you had a tutorial somewhere but I couldn't find it - is it still up online?
