Description

I really enjoy this render. It came out very, very well. If you were expecting some dramatic skyscape, or stunning landscape, then go away. For this image, I bagan with a sense of realism, and ended with a sense of realism, with a little symbology added in. In Terragen, as many Terrageners can probably attest to, that's a very hard thing to achieve.

My concept for this render was a simple one: I wanted a realistic render that accurately represented September. September is the month after August, where everything starts cooling down, and where the sky just begins to turn to a more October flavor, but still brings out the golden glow of the grass at sunset. September is when schools start (Here in America, well, at least in Virginia.), So I added the wildflowers, to accurately represent the memories of summer, coming to an end. I positioned the sun over the lake to get the golden reflection of the water, so as to accurately get the feel of the autumn foliage to come, those golden brown colors that everyone knows so well. I added the thick cloud overhead to reminisce of the wonderful spring and summer storms, that will slow because of the impending winter. The sunset represents the end of the good times, and the start of the harsh. Evrything in this image has a purpose. I'm very happy with how it has come along, it really did end up just like my origional concept. I'm very happy with it. I hoped for an image that has the word "September" written all over it, and that's what I got.

Mein Gott, that's a render?!?
I didn't even notice it until I read it -- after I faved it. Was positive it was a photo. Wow. Amazing.
