Pretty places to dream about

Wow, those are fantastic, Mystic! Thanks to you and Biohazard for the links. :smile:

I’ve searched DeviantArt before, but they tend to have mainly realistic landscapes, where I’m usually searching for alien or surreal versions. There’s just something about fantasy landscapes that makes them easier to lose yourself in - not to mention they’re more interesting, since the artist is only limited by their imagination.

I like to stare at them for a while before meditation, or sleep. They’re very inspiring.

Wow, Angel falls is now added to my list of places I have to visit in the both the real and dream worlds, along with Machu Picchu:

ok i think that it would be enough for u… too many links is not good :wink:)

Atheist i think i may have in mind exactly what you might be talking about when you say alien. when i wasd down at the beach a couple weeks ago there was this artist at some mall that made these amazing paintings of alien landscapes. i bought two of them and there are absolutly amazing. they most fantastic part tho is the fact he made them entirely by using just spray paint cans. really there awesome. if i can find my sisters’ digital cam and get it two work ill show you what i mean.

On ImageShack there is LOTS of mindblowing landscape art to be found. Check these out:

wow! :happy:

all of these places look amazing! Mystic? are any of those pictures computer animated? they look too beautiful to be real.

most of this pictures seems to have been generated using terragen, which is a free program for non commerical uses. https://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/ looks like a quite cool program

ok heres the two pics i was talking about in my last post, sorry bout the crappy quality.

DreamAddict: I’m not really sure… Probably Tomas is right. But I know the ones made by Eric Knight Holbrook are definitely computer generated.

i messed around with that terragen program that Tomas mentioned in his post. the program is really complicated and hard to understand. after messing around with it for a couple of days i came up with this:

tell me what you think

blazinfish, it looks very artificial…but practice makes the master :wink:

It may look artificial, but it’s not bad at all. Great colours :smile:

No textures, perhaps ?

hey i made two more today, tell me what you think of them. if anybody else can figure out how to use terragen it would be real cool to see what other people could come up with.

the artificial landscapes look sweet but not as sweet as the real ones. The angel falls and the first one are just mindblowing!

I have a few terragen pics up on my deviantart page here luciddreamwalker.deviantart.com/

I also have my a link to ld4all on there too. :content:

I just realized that the dreamworld is alot like the myst/riven/uru searese. Its a computer game where you just walk around in interestingly strange worlds and decifer symbols

https://www.myst.com has got some cool screenshots

I just published the best photographs I made when I went on a journey in Scottish Highlands (August 2004).
Here is my photo gallery
I hope they will inspire some of your lucid dreams. :grin:

hi paula, nice to see another Polish dreamer here!
@macrophage: great picture! really makes me want visit it…

There is a great surrealistic painter called Jacek Yerka, I just love his pictures.
yerka.webpark.pl/str2e.htm [edit: the site went down while I was posting :confused: well just google for Jacek Yerka and you’ll find some galleries]
