Mobing

Made with Bryce

It is very common for small birds to attack larger predator birds in order to protect themselves and their young. My first time but I still want your honest comments.

Thanks, I think simple is good for us beginners. At the same time I have been told by other artists that I have done some remodeling for that value and simplicity are the keys to a good scene. I wonder sometimes if it is an art to make a scene simple as it is to make it complex. I guess it all depends on what you focus on. My appreciation for nature had improved tenfold since I have been working with digital art. Off course I live in Utah so what can I say. I can look out my back window and see Pine mountain which right now has snow on the peaks. I live 30 miles from Zion and two hours from Bryce.

This is a very good scene. Although simple it seems compositionally sound. Horo's water mat is amazing. He seems to have approached the material from a physical point of view and the effect is noteworthy. Your sky looks good also. The birds poses are very good, I believe the birds are actually flying and I can feel the aggression in their flight pattern. This is a most clever detail!

Thanks for the pointers. I am rendering this scene right now with a new terrain and will submit it as soon as I find one I like. I have already changed it four times. I also put a different texture under the water so am curious to see how it turns out.

Nice to see my water put to excellent use. This is a nice piece of work, the sky fits in nicely. I would experiment with the material applied to the mountains and keep to one material for all mountains. I think they are too near together to have such different rock types. The bushy or grassy part at far right looks quite good.

Thanks Thanks for the comment. The water is Horo's water mat from the Material x-Change. And yes I am working on making better mountains. So am willing to take any suggestions I can get. I have not seen the Eagles in Warcraft but they are a majestic bird.

I like I like the water, the sky and the birds. The moutains look a little fake. I'm sure one of the more skillful users can give you some suggestions on how to make the material look more realistic. I really like it though =) Good work! In a way, it also reminds me of the Eagle Boss from world of warcraft ... =) He has swooping birds attacking you through out the fight.
