Terra I is sort of a self-homage, the first piture I rendered in Terragen. It sucks, go figure.

Terra III was based sort of on the weird tree/beehive/island in Riven, altough it didn't quite come off like I had envisioned. I still like it. You'll notice the lack of a Terra II. That's because number two was number one filled with water. Plus, all the "cool artists" skip numbers at random. 
Terra V was based on the idea that I have to fabricate a sunset if I want to see a good one here in suburbia. 
Coastal Range is one of my mom's favorites, but I'm not that impressed. I don't like the mist at all - it was supposed to be a bit more... expansive, cloudlike. You know, like real mist. 
Spires is cool - I took a picture of a starfield, changed it into raw binary data in Photoshop, and used that as the base for this landscape. I like the result. It's a hell of a lot easier than making these by hand. 
Mordor is a fluid image. Click for details. 
Palouse is based on a picture of the palouse area of Eastern Washington that my mom really likes. I can testify that this is what it really looks like, and there's a lot more. Definately one of the most beautiful regions of the country.
