Description
Appr. 1990 oil painting, which took on a life of it's own, when I experimented with the landscape and all these skulls just crawled out from under the rocks, I had actually too much oilpaint on the canvas and tried rubbing it off and this is the result.
The second frame is a 3D version, of the above and my first experiment with Vue 5 render engine.
Cheers jif3d

Both are wonderful in their own rights! The painting is awesome!! Love the skulls worked into the ground!! And the 3D version is also wicked!! Love the palette and the lighting!! Instant fav!!

Fabulous style and stellar art --a fantastic vision--your ability is remarkable!!AMAZING scenes !!
Dang i love your painting skills. You are most talented.
impressive oil painting. I would like to start again but between fooling with Poser and doing fractals-no time. I would enjoy seeing more of your oil work
wow! Excellent diptic piece of artwork !! Fantastic both ya!! Wonderfull & easy "seven error game" ;o))) Thks 4share !!
Excellent work! Very cool!!!
Wow!! These are both Excellent! I wasn't aware you were into oils. The skulls in the rocks were a brilliant idea. Great stuff there, Jeff. Of course the 3D version is in all ways up to your usual high standard! Super!
Ahhhh yes kind of remids me of Bruce Campbell in the "army of darkness".
You da man!!! Love your creativity :kiss, kiss:
Impressive painting Jeff. Beautiful work for Sabine !!!
wow what a cool scene.. that horse looks like he could use some food... that diet is a bit tooooo hard LOL serios... amazing work Jeff.
Cool work! Every time I paint it it looks like a Kindergartner with finger paints.. ( would probably would do better if I stuck with the finger paints....)
Love the painting - has such a unique mood and the skeleton terrain is fantastic. Both versions show your wonderful and versatile talent. CC
Fantastic and very creative realization Jeff.....!!! Have a wonderful atmosphere......!!!
Awesome painting Mate! Looks like a page right out of Heavy Metal!!
Awesome, Jiff!!!!!
Very cool. So, what do you think of V5? And don't think I hadn't noticed all your skulls in the second frame. Very nicely done.
Brilliant modelling and image Jeff..!!!!
Both superb--and both gain digitally presented here side by side--oh, up and down. Check out the new avatar--really stripped down, after the last was suppressed for nudity. Guess they couldn't see the bikini bottom with their electron microscope.
WOOOOOWWW!!! You know how much I loved the original painting when you emailed it to me and I'm so glad to see you've posted it!!! When I fist saw it, I immediately loved skeleton rider patrolling these hills with skulls embedded in them. I thought you could imagine that these the were souls of men trapped in the earth and that they were screaming to be released; while the rider on the other hand was their guardian, making sure they could never escape! :))) And now the Vue version... OMG!!! SUPERB IMAGE!!! The 3D version of the rider is absolutely F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!!! And I see that the skulls on the hills! :)) *** I hope you will use the in future images, he's awesome ;) *** I know you're only starting with Vue, but you could make the scene even more eerie and spookier by playing with the atmosphere settings like you do in LW. Jeff, Thank you very much for this wonderful dedication!!! :))))
WOW! Great as experiment!
Now this is fabulous work !!! Superbly done image. I love the skeleton horse against the desolate rocky background. So this is done in Vue. Well I have to say that it is superb. Gotta whip out my vue and install it sometime. lol. I am liking what I see !!! Excellent work.
Very very beautiful!
Very cleverly created for a marvellous result. They have both got such different finishes that they look completely different. Excellent work.
