As always most excellent scenery
Very nice scene. Great lighting and atmosphere! Well done.
Outstanding !
Great work, I love those rock formations!
Lol, cool, superb "not of this world" feeling
Those rock formations look excellent (although I'm not sure those textures are the right ones, I'd expect something less smooth and more rugged). The composition looks great too. Very good work!
Very good terrain work and well composed scene.
Awesome sense of scale, Neil. And the little extras you always add to your renders complete the storyline.
Excellent SciFi. I Like these rocks!
excellent light and atmosphere....nice the rock formations....lovely done!
Excellent looking rocks Neil, really amazing structures. He does look like one startled creature doesn't he. A great pre-historic type image. Wonderful attention to detail again with the water dripping from the mouth of the Catoblepas. Tony.
