Last February, I presented some early renders of this scene. It has now
been "finished" (my scenes are never finished).

I like the atmosphere/mood.
Supposing the individual is using a variation of an Alphorn?

Thanks and yes more likely. The Lur is a new instrument to me.

The sky is really nice - how did you made it?

Is this related to your Mistborn series?

Good atmosphere, some guard welcoming the new morning.
One day I'll finish a scene!

Three elements compose the sky (and atmosphere) from base to top:
1) a ground fog, slightly tilted to fill the distant valleys more);
2) An atmospheric haze;
3) a cloud layer.
All three are made up of non-interpenetrating media. The code looks like
this (watch out for unwanted line feeds!):
//--start code------------------------------------------

Wow! you have an excellent memory! ;-)
In reality, the Mistborn series has been a bit still-born I am afraid,
in so far that I have not been able to do something really serious about
it. But, yes, now that you mention it, I think this scene could very
well be included into the series. Thanks for reminding me!

Thanks indeed. That is exactly the mood I wanted to convey. While
working on the scene, I could feel (again) the chill and dampness of an
early spring/summer day up in the mountains.

This sky is slow, but gives fantastic results - surely it was hard work to get
it right.
Many thanks for it. In fact, its beauty reminds me a bit of an old Mick
Hazelgrove source (cannot find it on the server) - Kingz. Here is my last
interpretation of his sky code (of course it would need work on the bottom of
the cloud container...).

Not so much excellent as unevenly distributed. People tell me I'd make
an excellent Jeopardy! contestant. (Jeopardy! is an American game show
dealing with knowledge trivia.) But when it comes to things that matter
in real life, I have lifelong CRS (and now I'm at that age when I don't
know if it's CRS or "senior moments").

The speed is acceptable I guess. I have used other media skies which
were much slower, Abe's for instance. Mick's clouds code is truly great
indeed. I have used it a couple of times for dramatic effects. I should
revisit it...

I have not been introduced to him, so I do not know his name
unfortunately. Many Celts were black haired by the way ;-)

Well, "senior moments" is something I am quite familiar with... :-)

Yes, but the soap they used to wash them tended to make them turn some
other colour, like blond or some red/redish shades.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, leaning the spears against the wall
at an angle like that is probably bad because of the risk of tripping
over them in an emergency. Better to lay them on the ground (wrapped in
canvas) or lean them upright against a stand or something. IMO.
