Description
"...Deep in the forest the elves have a wonderful haven around a waterfall, producing the power to run the mill. Few men have ever been there, the place is secluded and though not excactly hidden, very difficult to reach. The terrain is hilly and steep and to get around with little effort, they ride on the Crilliwyns. These strange creatures live in the surrounding mountain forests, and hundreds of years ago the elves discovered that they were easily domesticated and have a gentle temperament. Their limber feet and legs are perfectly adapted to climbing around among the rocks and roots of the forests. But of course the elves here rely on ordinary horses as well. They are much faster and more enduring..."
Vue 8.4 render, minor postwork in Photoshop. Items from DAZ, C3D, Renderosity, ShareCG, CP - and myself. The "Crilliwyns" are my artisticly licensed interpretation of the Macrauchenia model from CP (an extinct mammal, camel type with a strange trunky nose).

- On the bridge you'll notice Lady Ealandora, who is visiting (actually more or less staying). She's the same character as in this picture

Lovely image as usual Lars, that water is gorgeous!
Wonderful lighting and Details!
Lars this is soooo beautiful and peaceful, love all the many thoughtful details to make this scene a peaceful fairytale
A most excellent work, very detailed with many things to discover. I especially appreciate the stair and the stones to the right. The border between the large house and the fundament could need some irregularities, to weld it more natural into the scene but that is pettifoggery. Most of all I like that Lars is making real paintings, and not NVIATWAS's. :)
Genial, Lars!
That is absolutely magical. Don't know how many projects i have started with that set, only to scrap them.. I am very impressed!
A lovely moody scene, wonderful composition/details and lighting.
Very cool!

Wow! Fantastic render!! Very moody.
Incredible scene, so rich and complex. I could happily live in this world you've created. 5++++
Simply amazing! You have such an elegant way with Vue. This is your most impressive work to date I think. The entire scene is incredible! It definitely needs to be viewed full size.
Great composition and love the water settings.
Good gracious! What I wouldn't give for a few hours under your tutelage and guidance. The lighting is very realistic and I particularly appreciate the large (what look to me like) beeches in the background. It seems like you have been heavily influenced by Alan Lee’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ designs, which seem to have become synonymous with people’s ideas of elves across the internet. I have given this excellent piece a score of '5' as I cannot see any room for improvement.
Beautiful landscape !
Fantastic rich scene. I really like the beautiful composition, lighting and colors.
Spectacular light in this scene - it's truly an amazing work! Vashek
Gorgeous image. Rich detail and beautiful render. Wonderful composition and lighting. Awesome.
