wonderful lighting!!!!

very neat!

Very beautiful, perfect shading.

nice!!!!!! \m/ GL

its a beauty..

Nice work, author! Love the overall color and composition. Perhaps darken the right side of the statue a bit and lighten the right to give a bit more contrast to the statue. Just a thought.

EDIT: Marvelous! Love it!!

Very well crafted! Great lighting!

Superbly done specially the lighting! Great job author, an instant Fav here!

Fabulous!

Congrats, very nice work

| Congratulations....well done

nice idea! Congrats

I'm sorry to put out my Hi-res version since some of the details quite distracting for my eyes. Like the messy cracks & saturated shadows. I would like to make you enjoy the result from the preview version only as the reason for every matte painting quite embarrassing to see the messy details, so I seldom create the detailed versions of it.

Hollywood matte-painters like Dylan Cole taught me before; it isn't necessary for some paintings to be seen in detailed versions, if we're going to produce it to a large-cinema-scope scenes, we would do the 3D matte paintings, because the best-preview-renders should be in hires versions of pixels.

*Cheers*

This is lovely. The only distracting part is the white in the eyes. Being of stone, the white is too bright and distracting from an otherwise truly enchanting image.

I agree with you about the Hi-Res version not always being necessary in order to preserve the visual illusion created. Best of success to you!

Thank you, MossyB. I would like you to travel to my SBS. There's a credit to you there. ( ^~^)v

I blurred & darken the eyes before posting this, but it seems the statue so lifeless, since the main idea was an ancient idol with a protection and regeneration and blah2... so, it would be nice if the eyes should remain a little bit shiny.

its lovely work author I really like the background, and I think we can see enough details to not need a high res anyway
goodluck.

Wow wow wow.... Amazing work, in every detail! Congrats...

I'm agree with Dylan Cole but I'm just curious, very nice worik, GL!

Well done...congrants

love the moss effect! Congrats!

Source links and/ or SBS?

You should always provide the link for a source, even a Pxleyes contest source. This would be the correct link: http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-contest/18175/ripped-metal.html A credit to mqtrf would be nice too.

This is cool. Perhaps if you could push back the shoulders a bit or arch the back to not be so curved, it'll match the the head of the dragon a bit more. Love the lighting and color author!

Nice blending.

thanks

Congrats

EXCELLENT!!!! and wonderfully awesome!!!

Real nice use of the textures, good piece of art . You ought to make prints and sell 'em.

Very good taste, GL!

ataboy!

Good idea...like the pastel colors.

if the light source is from the top, the fish belly should be darker and the top should be lighter and brighter

perhaps can distort the back part of the fish as if it's turning around and look at who is watching him

He is TOO cute

Great composition and color choice.

So sweet and tranquil

congrats... i like it

Thanks aheman
