    simple carrara terrain , grass is hair with lots of kink and the top thicker than the bottomn - the moon is a sphere with 1000 percent dialed up in the colour channel - fog and sky by carrara fog and sky - birds and rain by ron - postwork - tone mapping in affinity pro and painterly effect custom filter with topaz impression - render is 4000 pixels if you click 

    any more realistic and I think the kinky grass would've been distracting, but in the NPR context I think it becomes abstracted and symbolic - and the kinks actually add to the strength of the image. That's kind of neat. I very-much like the rain/cloud/moon/color choices too.

    thanks very much mindsong :) the grass too0k a little tweaking - at first it was really angular - then I upped up the segments per guide - well I think I did :)

    Suddenly remembered i have Hitfilm4 with many effects for video but can use these on stills.This one first  added glow and colour in HF then Pencil in FotoSketcher.Quite like the result 

     which can be varied endlessly so eventually you have to settle on one don't you ! wink Original for comparison.

    Thanks, usually do at least one render a day, don't post all of them as some are just muckaround to see how things work out !

    Having lots of options does cause the problem of which one to apply !

    Hope you are a regular poster in NPR now !!

    that's one of your bestest - love the style - wonder what it would look like without shadows (or less shadows?)

    what software did you use on this?

    For the postwork I used Topaz Adjust to bring out the colours & detail, then Filter Forge - Old paper effect by Diaor. Adjusted the Filter Forge image to about 80% on top of the Topaz Adjust image.

    I have also been experimenting with different Filter Forge textures for the Terrain shaders, used Alien Stones by A.K.

    Sky & Lighting  was Tim Payne Lightdomes & Skies Vol.2

    Critter is the Gnasher https://www.daz3d.com/gnasher

    Edit - didn't save the scene so would have to rebuild it to check differences with the shadows

    oooh - the 'body' of the mech - kind of a toony/fresnel effect - that is *very* cool!

    (the scene w the 'pilot' and skies, etc. are great, btw)

    Thought I would try a landscape from scratch, grass terrain shader needs a bit more work. Howie's vegetation.

    Adjusted the grass terrain shader, happier with the result !

    Thanks for the comment, Bunyip.

    Troll needs a hug.  Hope you've got a suitable copanion in your runtime.  

    I could use an oasis about now.  Looks like a tranquil pond.

    great effect and viewpoint Ted - any clues into how you made this - the sepia is very effective

    that swan adds an interesting naeive effect - a lot like colonial artists

    I was out in our backyard oasis t'other day with the missus admiring the kale when my wife said "og God take a look at  that huge snake," - so I'm looking around for a 4 foot black snake on the ground somewhere, couldnt see one until the missus told me itr was in the phildendron.

    Snake was about 14 foot long, body as thick as my neck - carper pythong luckily, but I felt l;ike I was in the amazon - 

    Makes going down to check the veggies mor exciting now....
