It's been more than a year since I've been able to post something on CGtalk. There will be more environments comming up the next weeks, all of which compose the 'Emotional Landscapes' gallery for the year 2007.

This is the opening piece. It's not a complex environment, but one meant for contemplation. The years pass and our dreams remain. Are dreams supposed to be beautiful because they do eventually end?

Tech data: got the starting model off the net, put it through Maya and then detail it in Mudbox, using actual terrain images as stencils to paint the rocks. Furthermore, enhance the body in Vue using a displacement material. All rendered in Vue, GI, original size 3200x1800. Minor corections in PS
