Vanaheim (Night)

Posted on August 22, 2022

If there’s a day version you can bet I’m going to attempt a night scene. I know lots of folks prefer darker wallpapers for their desktops and I love to provide options. This night version of “Vanaheim” was a bit more challenging than usual for a number of reasons but I think it turned out nicely.

I hope you enjoy it! 🌙

Continuing my planetscape series here that started with Niflheim and Muspelheim way back when. My traveler also returns to take in the scene.

I hope you enjoy it!

By request I’ve added a “twilight” version of “The Towering Sky”. This will be my last render in the series and I hope you have enjoyed them all. Feel free to let me know which is your favorite in the comments 🙂

Happy Friday!

In case you felt “The Towering Sky” was too bright for your desktop, here’s a nighttime version. I experimented with changing the cloud configuration but in the end preferred my original setup.

I hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend!!

The Towering Sky

Posted on August 9, 2022

Growing up in a very flat part of the world (central Illinois) clouds were often the most interesting part of the landscape.   It was easy to imagine that distant storm clouds were mountains, giants, or some other fantasy.  With this piece I’ve tried to impart a bit of that wonder by making the sky the main focus and by making the clouds a bit stranger than what might be natural or expected. 

The foreground trees in the multiscreen version were a late addition.   I hope no one minds that they are  absent from the single-screen frame but I really wanted the sky to be the focus here.
