Artist's Comments

Stottys Terragen Art :) (Smile)

Following on from Blue moments, I finally put all your suggestions for changes into this final version. The biggest problem was the straight edge to the waterline.

~koosh-llama and `exorist provided some helpful advice, but ~rockacock came up with an answer to my prayers, I incorporated the use of masks and rendered just a surf layer and a render without surf, put them together and played about with the smudge tool. This is the result. I am no expert in PS, so exuse me if this still doesn't quite look like foam..Thanks the the above deviants and also thanks to all my watchers for their support, even though I am slow in returning comments.

As aways, comments on this are really appreciated.

And please .. enjoy my work :D (Big Grin)

Hmm the surf/foam looks pretty good. The wet sand seema little sharp but i guess its supposed to be that way..I'd like to see some more cloud action tough..

Very nice beach and amazing water.
But one detail looks weird to me : The background seems "cold" and the foreground with the beach and such a water gives an impression of a Pacific island. Maybe with other colors in the background, the atmosphere could be the same everywhere. Anyway, it's just my feeling :o (Eek)
Great work
i can offer no suggestions... this is perfect, but i can offer a fav :) (Smile)

Ah what a great piece. The same satisfying chunky terrain in the background looks great behind that mist. I love how realistic the transition from grass to sand is as well. Excellent water! really no 'oily' issues here at all with the ripples. The surf is odd but i actually enjoy the stylised feel of it. Very neat and clean. I cannot imagine litter on such a beach :) (Smile)

A fantastic and improved render overall and quite a favourite :D (Big Grin) +fav
Awesome work :) (Smile)

Waters edge still needs some work, but is looking pretty perfect :) (Smile)

Second layer of mountins in the bg look great too :) (Smile) Adding that true 2d effect of things when they get to be so far away :) (Smile)

Nice job!

OMG ... where did you take this picture ??
I really hate you !!!!!!!!! ;) (Wink)
The water is so real , the colors are so great and the tranparency just perfect ! You found a good technic to make a realistic surf effect ! i must try it !
The depth is so good here ! the sand and the differents textures are great !
+ the border really add a touch of class ....
Well again i must bend in front of the Master ! #1

Oh yeah, the water edge needs a lot of work...it's like a sheet of paper now...because the edge can't be that regular and one-line....

I think Waterworks can add foams :) (Smile) why don't you use that? =P (Razz)

another thing I notice is the sand. I think more bumpiness is needed. :D (Big Grin)

good job~
