Alternate Version of Horizons with Bioluminescence

Here’s a version of “Horizons” with some bioluminescence added to the cave flora. After some reflection I’ve decided to leave this version in the Pickle Jar however and go forward with v.2. Thanks to everyone who shared their opinion!!

My third batch of thank-you cards have arrived!

My third batch of Thank You cards have arrived. These, as you can see, feature my “Fluorescence” mushrooms. As before, all new Members (yearly and above) and renewing Members will receive one signed by me and the family (I am trying to teach my boys a lesson about gratitude).

If you are already a Lifetime Member or wish to get one without purchasing a Membership/Renewal please see here for my criteria!

There are 150 of these Fluorescence cards and I will be moving on to a new design once they are all sent out (around 35 of them are already spoken for). If you want this classic design you should probably act quickly. The last cards were gone within a few days!

Horizons

Horizons” is the end-result of my learning some new space rendering techniques over the past few weeks. I used my Class M planet from Skyward, my gas giant from “Cronus“, and my galaxy from “Island in the Void” for the sky and modeled the foreground in Vue 2014.5.

The title is from a comment left by member “Jenna” on the work-in-progress version, where she said: I really like the “from our current horizon to our eventual horizon” feel.

I hope you enjoy it too!!
