I still see light in the tavern's windows, apparently dawn came early for the townsfolk.

If I sell a million mouse pads, I could probably get a house like this. I average about 5 a month, so it may be awhile longer.

Rings of force represent the sound of the thunder resonating from the superheated air around the lightning.

I love how dramatic this one is. I wanted more room to better see the lighting effects around the windows, but the composition worked better this way.

To get the full effect of this one, you need to have it on your desktop while working in a small window.

The original concept was less gloomy, but more light would have conflicted with the mist. I like the mood it evokes.

Complex textures, not only did I work a long time creating them, but it took 24 hours to render.

The background mountains were part of another image I did while in Alaska. It needed something, so I added a bedroom. I really like the subtle shadows and reflections.

The valley and balcony were rendered in two separate 3d programs, and assembled in Photoshop
