Description
I made this concept for THUNDER Throne Wars, our fantasy game development project. This scene represents the Lighte (Kin) side of the game, where the Prince of Thunder resides in his castle.My task was to create a scene with high mountains and cliffs in the background; a castle on a high rock; river/lake, waterfalls, forest with prehistoric trees in the middle gound and lush vegetation with alien plants in the foregound. I had to attempt what the creators of Avatar managed to achieve; to make an absolutely unearthly environment believable. That's how this scene was born
Vue 8 Infinite + minor postwork in PS CS4
Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful landscape as always. I love the colour and vibrancy of this piece and yet it has the same peaceful serenity of your others - great!

i dont know why, but i see Thunder as something more agressive... not dark/evil, but agressive... maybe snow, cliffs, rocks...
but as the goas was waterfall, river and mountains, you did it
very nice job <3

Nice image. I agree with FCLittle about the color along the rest of the river bank. The composition is very well done as well as your atmo as always.

The alien plants are pretty I had a feeling it was Avatar-inspoired
the distant castle makes a small but nice focal point too

This is really quite lovely....I think it might benefit from a little more color along the rest of the river bank, to balance the brightness in the foreground.....

Excellent scene! I love the water especially! And the rocks on the shore. It gives it that special realistic edge! Two thumbs up!

They're spectacular! As is the rest of this image.

Superb!
Those waterfalls are gorgeous! Were they added in post; were they an alpha plane or were they actual modelled polygons?
Atmosphere is amazing as usual and the colourful flowers in the foreground also rock!
