I found your awesome art featured here:Β
Interview: WatchTheSkiies - Landscape magic!Hello folks, I hope you're all well and sound today!It's time to interview another interesting artist and today's choice'll make some people pretty eager to check out his gallery!This guy's artworks are pretty unique in its genre as he puts it: virtual landscape photography!If you love realistic, magical landscapes full of colors, cool perspectives and fantasy-like scenes then this artist is for you!!!If you are into Skyrim you'll love him :) https://www.deviantart.com/watchtheskiies Let's take a quick look at WatchTeh Skiies's works See what I'm talking about?Now let's see what this guy has to say about himself :)Here is the interview:1) Hey, how are you? Please tell us something about yourself which'll make us understand who you really are Feel free to be very forth coming yet polite since the audience includes kids. Hello there, I'm fine thank you. Well, I believe that the easiest way to describe what I do on DA is that I do landscape "photography" but from virtual worlds. 2) What do you do in your spare time? I'm a strange mixture of bookworm with photography enthusiast and combat sports passionate. If I'm not reading a book, I'm sparring with someone or watching a fight, or I'm practicing my "screenshot photography". 3) How did you find out about Deviantart and what do you like about it? It was several years ago, almost 10 years ago or so, I don't even remember how I came to know about it. I like how you can find people interested in almost anything here, so it doesn't matter what your art is about, you will find people on DA who will have interest for it and will give you feedback. 4) How would you describe/define the style(s) of art you make? A good description would be landscapes from video-games, mostly from skyrim. 5) Who or what are your inspirations? I do have a great deal of inspiration from a finish photographer called Mikko Lagerstedt, I love his atmospheric works. I also have some inspirations from Zen and Taoist aesthetics. 6) If you're an hobbyist who makes/creates art for passion, are you hoping/planning to become a professional artist and make a living out of it? I would love to make money from my hobby for sure, but I wouldn't want to make it the center of my life. If I'm able to make some money from what I do for fun, it would be nice, but I wouldn't stretch myself too much for an artistic career. 7) What do you think the future holds for you? Well, I don't make many plans for the future. My philosophy has always been to live in the here and now, and to not be distracted. I strive to do my best with whatever life gives me. So in the future I'll probably be reading books and kicking people in the face. 8) Who or what made you decide to become an artist? I believe that it came from my love for nature and exploration, it lead me to learn photography and photography in its turn made my pay more attention to the environment while playing video-games. So I started to practice what I had learn through photography within those games. 9) Which softwares do you use to make you art? Mostly Lightroom, once in a while Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. Of course, the game where I take the screenshot from as well. 10) Who are your favourite artists? There are so many, but the one who taught me the most was the finnish photographer Mikko Lagerstedt. 11) What kind of message do you want to send to people with your artworks? Work with whatever you have available, but do it. My primary goal was to improve my photography, but I didn't have a good camera back then, nor will to go outside, so I practiced with screenshots from a game. 12) How long have you been doing art? It has been something like 8 years since I started learning photography more seriously. 13) Is there anything you'd change about Deviantart? I would add some kind of instant messaging between users feature, such as skype. I believe that communication would be faster this way. 14) What advice would you give to someone who wants to become an artist? Having a way to express yourself isn't something that everyone has the patience to develop, it has to be achieved through hard work and discipline, but it is a great source of joy, a kind of joy which no amount of money will ever be able to buy. While career ambitions are things of life, don't get too caught up in it. So my advice is, don't forget to enjoy what you do and never look down on your efforts. 15) Anything else you'd like to add? Sure, I would like to thank you for having me and thank you for the initiative. People like you add so much to DeviantArt community and I'll be looking forward for the upcoming interviews. Alright, now that you got to know WatchTheSkiies quickly, let's check out his amazing gallery!!!Well folks, I do hope you liked the interview and remember to keep on creating beautiful stuff!!Take care,Chris...
I love this!

If you use the Live another Life mods, you can start in most of the exisiting homes with a fitting setup and also in some other more or less precarious situations. (from having a nice outfit to robbed blind and left to die there's a wide range). One of them is a farmers life in one of the farms there. It gives you access to the building and bed and makes for a nice start, if you don't want the umpteenth Helgen setup...

Too much noise. Actually... What's the need for noise?

Noise helps with the lack of texture, but maybe i've added too much. xD

And it makes no sense to have an orange color only in the middle of the sky with the rest in blue.
