Amir's Portfolio environments. Thanks for the feedback guys, I do agree that the terrain looks rather random at the moment.
I'm trying out a different direction this time and probably something a bit more realistic as a goal for a portfolio scene. I'm going for a more stylised scene based on references such as Miazaki's art (studio ghibli). The goal is to make a cluster of floating islands with one or two houses plus some vegetation such as trees, ground plants and some ruins + scattered rocks. Regarding the texturing style, I will be learning how to make hand-painted stylised textures while doing the scene.

The Darkroom Blog by Really Japan - Part 3. Joan Charmant is a software engineer who started playing with photo manipulations in 2004, when one day he stumbled upon some UFO pictures and wanted to see how hard it would have been to fake them.
He started spending some days and nights on the website Worth1000.com (there are many great tutorials and competition on photo manipulation in that website, give it a look) and learnt a lot from the other members. Anyway, his photoshop skills are great and his creative process pretty interesting.. just pity that his day job is software engineer so you can’t find many pics from him on the net (or twitter accounts, blogs, flickr and so on) I really like his photo manipulations, and you?

What is it about abandoned buildings that’s so alluring? What causes us to be fascinated by the deserted and forgotten ruins of structures that once teemed with life? It may have something to do with the original purpose of those buildings. Homes and towns where families once lived are fascinating, but there’s something tragic and amazing about hospitals, churches, hotels and asylums.
