After an hour finding some sweet spot, here they are (finding spot for an hour, rendering for a half and an hour! Phew! 
). Another fantasy-based renders. The truth is, I was inspired by some ice castle stuff. But since Terragen 0.9 can’t import models, then.. no castles. 
Here’s the 10×7 :
.. and the 12×8 :
Ho ho ho, merry christmas to everyone! Hope everyone get a better christmas than me. This is my second fractal render. I made it when I got trapped for a long spare time in the hotel room while my grandfather goes to church for Christmas pray. First, I thought 4 billions of iterations will be a great render. Well, it is.. it’s a good render, but it takes approximately 3 and a half hours!! I was just keep wandering around the hotel room, and keep checking out my laptop for the render just to find out it’s just 3% (for about 45 minutes!). Have a tought of going out of hotel but just can’t do it ‘coz I left my ‘clumsy-dummy-winter-clothes’ at home! I have some sweaters handy but the cold is still raging outside. Well I don’t know but.. the weather is sooo cold but there is a little (if I can’t say ‘no’) snow out here. The nature seems worser everyday. Uh.. damn, what I’ve been mumbling for? Haha.. back to topic, here’s the render. Hope you like it as I do! 
I was quite bored with the day, and hell yeah, can’t do something to knockdown the boredom inside my head. The days are just keep repeating itself, morning – wake up – take a bath – goes to campus – take a course – go home – overslept until midnight. I’m sick of it. It’s been nearly a week and a half I’ve been living this way until my grandfather told me that he have extra ticket for me to accompany him for a trip to Paris-Bordeaux.. Geez, I think I was crazy enough to not take the chance! Uh, and BTW, it’s been a long time since my last renders. Here, my first fractal iteration render..
It’s a 20 millions iterations, and while this post is still being typed, I’m still rendering the hi-quality version render with approximately 2 billions of iterations or more so it won’t as fast as the low-quality (20 millions of iterations) version. I’ll upload it when it’s done.
*UPDATE*
Here’s the hi-quality render (2 billions of iterations), and it was slightly better although it takes more time. I think 2B iterations will be my standard from now on.
P.S : For people who don’t really understand (or even don’t have any idea) fractal iteration rendering, you can get more informations by taking a little peek at this page.

Another old art, I was inspired by the Alpen mountains. So I use the Washington Pass DEM (if I was correct) to make Alpen-like scene. Part that I love the most is the sky, it’s so fascinating. Unfortunately I forgot to save the .atm file. Damn it, I should be more careful next time. BTW, here is the 1024×768 render..
And here is the 1280×800 render..
I’m quite bored of my terragen creation style.. I love realistic pictures, but really, sometimes I wanna make something different. For 4 hours rendering pictures, I have nothing. Yes, nothing! The renders I’ve got are not very pleasing.. They were.. too typical. So I take a different approach, yes, it’s mythical/fantasy landscape stuff. Here’s the 1024×768 render..
And this is the Wide-Screen version, 1280×800..
I’ve tried to make it a silouhuette, but it looks crap. Then I changed it into some kind of “semi-silouhuette” type — my fave –and it seems better.
I was backup-ing my PC data when I found this old render. It was made in early 2006 maybe, I don’t remember. It’s heavily inspired from The Ice Age 2: The Meltdown as you can tell.
Err.. There’s something wrong with WordPress’ “Send to Editor” button. It didn’t work as it supposed to be. So I have to manually create the thumb! WTH!
Anyway, this is the Wide-Screen version.
I don’t remember how long it takes to render and post-work these pics, but I estimate it around 2 hour or less because of the simple textures.
This evening I saw the most beautiful sky in the past 6 years of my life! It has a purple-pink sky with dark clouds around it. It was dusk so it’s pretty dark and I can’t see the sunset, but the sky looks pretty awesome. Unfortunately I didn’t have my cellphone beside me so I can’t take any photo of it. So I decided to “draw” it with Terragen.
It tooks me around 2 hours to render and postwork it. At first I was planning for a total silouhuette for aesthetics cause. But then I’ve changed it into some kind of “semi-silouhuette” to make it more realistic. I know maybe the sky isn’t really look like the real ones, but it’s quite good I think.

Raison d’Terrestre..
C’est simplement incertain..
Is this life is real? What’s the purpose of our life? Is God truly exist? Yes, it’s just simply questionable. Well, don’t ask me coz I’m no God. I was just wandering and mumbling around when it comes to my mind. Shortly, I open up Terragen software, decide to start digitalizing these questions. After a couple hours–3 hours Terragen-ing and a couple minutes post-working–I have the renders. I think it’s quite pleasing and worth the time.
As you can see above, I imagine a terrestrial paradise of my own. Green corals, along with a blue-green water, a green valley with it’s tropical trees.. Ah, it’s just my imaginary place.
