Description
...A knight is escorting a boy (probably some nobleman's son) and needs be sure he's on the right track. Two local, somewhat amazone-like tribe women, are helpful. They are not always that, on the contrary. But maybe they fancy the knight.
A little shift of theme, not too much though - a sort of medieval/fantasy composition, but with much focus on the light and vegetation as usual :) Actually the idea came from making the oak trees in Onyx and Vue (for texturing). They needed to be in some fantasy setting.
Of course a story to go with it would be nice - feel free to make up your own :)
Vue 8.4 render, a few modifications, framing & signature with Photoshop.
Items from DAZ, various web resources and myself.
Freestuff credits (ShareCG):
"M3 Norman Knight" by "Lourdes" with
"10 Knight" texture set by "Iscaroit".
"Galadriel Dress" with "Deep Forest Texture" by "Andolaurina" (Kids4 version).
Some more tech stuff: The Poser imports were made via Collada export incl. texture reduction, Vue couldn't handle them all as Poser PZ3 (not even when saved individually as VOB.)
Thanks for viewing and comments etc. Just realized that this is my first upload for 2011.
Have a nice day,

excellent super classe work
Really like the variety of lighting through the trees to the open field behind.
The light is great! TOP!!!
Excellent, most excellent. For the first, some human figures always greatly enhance a landscape scene. For the second, to place the image on the borderline between reality and fantasy is the right place to be IMO. Accordingly I would have preferred that the "tribe women" had a lite more clothes or even that they were ordinary peasants but one cant get everything! The lighting is magnificent.
A very fine image. I really like the lighting that you achieved in this one.
Always a pleasure to view your work!
Story sounds legible to me. Now if you could just breath into this sir, see if you been drinking LOL Nice work Lars, I cant get Onyx to do squat for me like this :(
good job love the lighting, the poser figures and especially the trees, nice varieity of grasses and weeds...only negative I see is the bark on the left tree looks a little fake. Looks like I need to learn Onyx for your trees on your previous renders plus this one looks fantastic.
~Marvelous forrest scene and an excellent backstory! Well done!~
Wonderful composition and light! Very well done!
Super scene - excellent work on the lighting - great incorporation of the Poser figures
Every thing about this is incredible! The superb lighting along with your equally as wonderful trees really make this one shine. I can try, but I just can't say enough nice things about this render. Stupendous work Lars!
Erstklassige Szene! Besonders die Beluchtung ist spitzenmäßig! TOP!!
Beautiful scene and really wonderful lighting. The foreground tree on the left looks like the bark isn't quite right though...
A very cinematic scene.
Are the hot chicks going with him? Love the trees and other plants there and lighting.
Very beautiful lighting I especially love the foreground dappling on the undergrowth. The old fat trees look very good as well. Excellent scene all round and I like the story.
Beautiful lighting and foliage. Well done!
fantastic image by all point of view!!
A wonderful work and beautifully decorated
Good fantasy image - nice work!
great scene with excellent details and lightning
Very beautiful scene. The lighting and vegetation is excellent.
Super!!!
LOve the lighting !!! Didn´t they have GPS ?
Stunning. I love the horse!
Great Fantasy scene and a wonderful forest!
Excellent work. The light is perfect. I like the bright foreground and glowing background. Gives the feel of a very warm day. I think maybe he should just stay where he is.
The dappled light is wonderful and so are the trees!
the foliage, light, and overall scene are very realistic. the composition of the characters and camera angle are excellent.
