Description
I always enjoyed images of the hills of Tolkien's Rohan. This wasn't really intended as Middle Earth fan art, but it reminded me of it nonetheless. I suppose that would make that Orthanc in the background.

This was another image that just kept changing the more I worked with it. Originally it was figurative work with a knight standing on a fantasy hillside with a tower in the background (resuing the setting for an earlier work of mine called Knight Fight [link] ). I decided though that I was tired of knights for a while, so I switched it out with a female character. At first she was nude, but her skin just seemed to smooth, it clashed with the roughness of the rest of the scene. So I put her in a dress. That still didn’t seem to be enough, so I added the horse. I found that the horse worked so well, that it outclassed the woman, so I removed her. The result is this horse portrait.

The horse was posed in Poser Pro 2010 then imported into Vue 8 where the rest of the scene was constructed. Rendering took ~24 hours using an AMD Phenom X4 quad core 3.2 GHz with 9GB of memory. Post production (adjusting the colors and adding my signature) was done in Gimp.

Credits:

The tower is from "Castle Creator" by Faveral, purchased at Daz3d ([link] )

The Horse is Millenium Horse from Daz3d, purchased at Daz3d ([link] ).

The Horse’s texture is from the LnL Ultimate Horses 1 package from Daz3d, purchased at Daz3d ([link] )

Everything else is stock Vue objects.
