Untouched
Personal comment
Well, after reinstalling windows for the 5th time, and then realising, that my harddisk practically died, I just had to do some art related stuff.
I'm pretty unhappy about this piece, mainly because there are some areas that didn't came out the way I wanted them to be.
mhh, actually, I concentrated my efforts more on the landscape itself, than on the other elements.
What it is:
Based on my newest terragenrender I rendered for 14 hours.
textures from cgtextures, pixelio and sxc.
same goes for the few references I used for the birds.
Original size: 7000x3944px @ 300dpi
Hardware:
wacom intuos3 a5
software:
adobe photoshop
terragen and world machine
The hyper basic idea about this piece:
Two scouting jets flying through an untouched scenery..
Thanks to `taenaron and ~Pr3t3nd3r for suggestions.
And yeah, taenaron pushed me to submit it

It's good to see this image inspire someone so heavily! I have to say this is one of my favourites of gucken's collection.
I do, however, feel that the lack of vegetation is good on the rocky outcrop, for one it would be difficult for a lot to grow on such a steep surface, and secondly it looks a lot more raw, harsh and natural. It's also a lot more unique than what I see in a lot of these pictures; it's very tempting to put in too much lush vegetation/forest because often it looks very pretty; I think this hit a good balance.

Yeah, he really did find a good balance in that particular aspect of the composition.

Just so you know, even though you were unhappy about this piece; it is one of my favourites of all your images. Possibly my favourite. I can only find one thing I'm not entirely satisfied about and that's the jet/ship leaving a trail across the peak - for the same reason as I mentioned in the critique on 5ive percent remaining. I'd actually be interested to know what you felt you did badly on this image?
Love it

No way I'm going to give you a detailed comment on why I am unhappy with this piece. I don't want to ruin it for you
Let's just say, if I were to redo it today, it wouldn't look the same

Awww, that's fair enough; I was considering trying to pull it apart as much as physically possible, but I think I'll just stick with enjoying it

Arg double commented by accident. Ah well, the picture is worth it.

This is fast becoming my favourite image out of the collection, gucken; it's somewhat unique but not trying too hard to be, and it's generally very pleasant to look at. I'll critique in more detail when my internet isn't being interrupted!

A personally favorite. The theme of untouched nature is detailed wonderfully in this art. I find peace and adventure into a world ripe for discovery as I gaze into the work. The mountains, rivers, trees, and planets blend together into a majestic scenery. Gorgeous work once again gucken.

I love your work as a whole. And I love this picture, of course. But mostly I love the idea behind the image: an "untouched" world... that's why I choose this one for the fav.

Beautiful!

Oh no Gucken thank you!! I'm so happy you joined the group of Matte Spacer if I may say so! I'm sure this group has a real future. Please feel free to submit your art anytime, I know there are few members by now but soon it will be bigger. There are almost no MAtte Painting groups here, I'm sure the connection with Space art could be interesting for many people. Thx again.

simply wonderful, I can totally feel like I'm flying through this majestic landscape!

hey,
heute hab ich mir dieses work wieder mal angesehen nach langer Zeit (ist so ca. 2 Jahre her). Und ich finde immer noch KEINEN Fehler. Es ist immer noch so perfekt, so grossartig wie es damals war als ich noch ein kleiner niemand war. Heute bin ich ein grosser Niemand und mittlerweile finde ich ziemlich viele meiner frΓΌheren alltime-faves schrecklich. Doch das hier hat sich gehalten. Es ist einfach TOP!
