Description
Bryce6.1/DazStudio/Photoshop/Photoscape
Darkness falls on the Primevian jungle,and as the explorers settle in for the night at their makeshift campsite,they do not go un-noticed.From the high ledges of the surrounding rock structures that jut upwards above the forest canopy,the smoke from their campfire catches the attention of a forest denizen,her nocturnal eyesight attuned to the slightest variation in her world.As the ever-present pteranadons catch one more thermal before retiring to their roosts for the night,she shifts uneasily and begins her descent to the ground below.
Created in Bryce6.1,all terrains are customs,rendered in preset veg textures.These were then duplicated,and one of the procedural textures was made transparent,breaking up the texture to create the appearance of foliage.This group of terrains was then raised slightly to create shadows on the texture beneath.Figure is Aiko3,with Dagonnessa outfit,Anime Hair and Aikiyu skin mat.Aiko and pteranadons were posed in DazStudio,and are from Daz3D.Sky.light and atmo are custom.
In Photoshop I cloned out edges of terrains to break up outlines,added extra foliage details,distant smoke and birds,as well as signature.In Photoscape I tweaked the levels slightly.Thanks for viewing and any comments you wish to leave!

Wow, you've been doing such a brilliant job on this whole series of primeval scenes, and this is just awesome stuff. I love the hazy atmosphere, the vague silhouettes, it's all fantastic!
You are really creating a wonderful alien planet with this series.
Still hammering for funds on the Pandoran Age project. Don't forget us-the more ammo I have the closer we get to scoring.
This reminds me of the movie avatar...well done indeed
Absolutely superb depth and atmosphere. Truly outstanding Bryce work.
Excellent scene! The depth is fantastic and there's plenty of details to catch the eye.
Nice composition.
Beautiful render. Excellent artwork.
Brilliant!
Beautiful work my friend!
fine work
Excellent image!
lost in your world
You have a real talent for creating depth in your landscapes and this is one of the finest I've seen. Each range of mtn is faded just perfectly. The sense of drama is enhanced by the strongly jutting outcrop and the almost but not quite silloute appearance of the girl. The pteranodons give just enough sense of movement to know the world is alive. I respect the detail comments you make about your image creation process. It is so excellent to see such knowledge shared.
Fantastic work! Have you thought of packaging your backgrounds to sell in the Renderosity Market Place??? They are amazing! ;D
great work
Really nice scene. Excellent lighting, atmosphere and terrain! Great render!
Wonderful composition and atmosphere! Love it.
Stunning render, Neil - possibly the most powerful of the series so far. I love the rolling terrains, the atmosphere and lighting, the menacing pteranadons, the sillhouette.. everything. Wow!
Cool scene and great sense of wonder!
Wow, great one. Great sense of scale, great composition.
fascinating landscape - great composition and lighting!
Excellent scene and work on atmosphere. The light/mist works well in your image.
Fabulous atmosphere and mood at work here, love the prehistoric feel! All the best for the New Year.
Superb scene with great depth to it. Happy New Year!
Awesomeness...maybe someday I'll do one like this in TG2! :)
Great landscape!
Dig the atmospheric fog depth and composition...I wonder if your character is going to hitch a ride, just like in Ice Age 3 ? Very kool stuff & ~Cheers~
