The Turning
'Tis the time
Winter solstice time
Frost in rime
Bells in chime
Rays are long
Sun grows strong
Praise in song
Winter will be gone

This looks epic! I love the sky and I'm a huge fan of cold winter pictures but I wish the landscape was better. The snow looks grainy and the bear could look more real. If those where fixed it would be the only background I would use! |

A nice, relaxing scene. I expect the comments at work to begin shortly.
I'm just sad that I use a two-deep taskbar in Windows. The poor polar bear is just about lost at the bottom of the screen. :( |

Dude I like it. I think you originally called it "Underneath", which I thought was fitting for this image, the sky and aurora have an oppressing feel, huge and insurmountable, like the polar ice cap as seen "underneath" it. The sky's the limit. |

I use Zbrush for normal mapping character models for my job. It's interesting to see it used for something non-character related. This looks great! It caught my eye even before I saw that you used Zbrush on it. |

| "Icebergs" |
Fri November 26, 2010 at 9:32 pm

I really like this new scene, unfortunately for me, the first thing that caught my eye was the sharp lines at the bottom of the icebergs. With the size of the polar bear, and the size of the waves, there should be some sort of affect on the icebergs. Not as in rocking back and forth, but in waves crashing up the side somewhat, or even a smooth area on this side to simulate the icebergs blocking the waves.
Overall the scene is stunning and was set as my desktop wallpaper almost immediately. |

Sorry about that. I made some improvements to the scene when I did the multiscreen version and I saved that as a new file. I went to open it a couple of days ago and it crashed Vue! I've been trying to figure out how to re-open it for the past few days. Should just bite the bullet and redo my changes... |

Hello Ryan,
thank you for the dual and triple screen versions =)
I wanted to ask you if there is a posibility to ask for a dual n triple screen wallpaper in a mix of the colors silver purple-pinkish and blue that could match my visual stunning Gui style?
I dont mean this wallpaper but i didnt find the request button so i just ask for a wall here ^^ hope you dont mind..
That would be a totally sweet xmas background i would mind anything spacey ^^ if there is a possibility for that please let me know.

I tend to agree on the foreground. It lacks the resolution of the sky which overemphasizes the fact of each being created in different programs and slapped together. Ryan could touch it up easily though. |

Unfortunately, with the perfection of the sky, the landscape looks a little underdone. |

Tue November 16, 2010 at 0:42 am

I just noticed that the smallest iceberg on the right seems like it's floating in the air. The iceberg looks displaced from the scene because of the way it reflects on the water. I think the contrast is too sharp between the dark shadow on the side of the iceberg and the apparent lack of its shadow cast on the water. |

I like this piece a lot, but I feel like the ice peaks in the foreground lessen the effect of the piece somewhat. Their smoothness suggests to me a warmer temperature, as you'll usually get smoother ice when it's been melting, whereas I think the overall effect you're going for is a very cold one. |

This style is where you shine most Mr. Bliss. I can always tell which renders are your best by how much emotion they evoke. In this case I feel enamored and mystified by the sight of that sky in such a frozen wasteland. All of the critics from your last work should hopefully take a seat now. |

This is truly a spectacular image. The problem I've always had with Harbinger is that the clouds are strange, almost solid, and somewhat ruin the aurora in the sky... these are beautifully rendered. |

Wow. Absolutely love the "new" aurora borealis. And the polar bear is a great touch. :) Thanks for the new wall paper! |

Really great stuff, here. I was certain that I wouldn't have to change my wallpaper again after downloading Highland Winter, but this will look great on the Droid. Also a great pick-me-up after a rough weekend for the Hawkeyes. |
