Great mood...great idea...Amazing entry!

I love the attention to detail, high res looks really great

I really like the frost on the glass...You can almost feel it...Really nice job...Good Luck

gre8 image, very well made

something told me this was yours

Hey, this is a pretty cool image! Smart move putting it in this contest...not much competition...

Very nice work

I thought I had opened the wrong contest for a second!! Nice work.. But like all ROV's and submersables - you need some lights on the front!! IMHO..

Very nice job

cool!

wow!!

very nece thought

great work author! I really like it!

hmmm weird, but I never thought about putting it the other contest, since I used the other image a lot less. I built the image out of this source and there is nothing left of the other with all the stuff I put on top. The idea for using that image as the base for the sub, only came after I was mostly done w/ the cave.

beautiful

Truly nice image. Great detail. Good luck!

I would suggest, umm.....nothing. This reminds me of transportation in the game Myst. Very mysterious. Great stuff!

very cool

beautiful. nice colors!

very good work.. but I've said this before on other entries like this.. if you didn't see the SBS you'd go.. Hey... nice Elephant LOL and then move on.. good thing this contest is here. it really makes you LOOK at the work

elephant it's not a reference, it's actually a source... but anyway, it's not copyrighted or anything so there shouldn't be any probs... it's a nice texture modeling, and you created a nice mood, but it'd be greater if you "build" the elephant with source plates (like an automaton or something) instead of overlapping both the source texture and the elephant texture... still a very nice chop

MIKE, it is honor for me like this comment from you. It means I am really successful creating realistic elephant from source using liquify, burn, dodge, painting highlights and shadows. For your information, reference mean reference and all is done using source only. I think you did'nt see my sbs . I am now capturing my screen shots of layers and further detail sbs showing my shadow and highlight work on seperate layer. It is confirmed that I did'nt used elephant texture overlapping. See my sbs after few moment .

EDIT : Mike 7 further steps added in my SBS, please see closely and if still you are thinking and blaming me that it is reference texture then it is your fault not mine BTW I am very happy after your comment coz its all result of my hardwork

good job , i think the right-back leg (i don't know how to point it out) needs shadows and lights to look more 3d like the others. GOOD LUCK

I like the color and mood you've created. Very good work!

nice colors and texture! great job, good luck!

TheWinningStar, thanks for constructive comment, due to smaller size of leg its looking odd, I have increase height of right back leg and added some shadow and grass for depth,

good work!! leaves in the background are not fixed properly. look like flying.

very good

gopankarichal thanks for problem, corrected

very nice. great job author. like the color and texture.

Very nice - you have a few small bleeding areas though - above the ear and at the top of the tail.. Also the bright edge to the back leg looks out of place, i would darken it more..

Thanks animmax , fixed

Looks much better!!

cool

WOW!! Very Nicely Done...Good Luck

great job the elephant looks so real

Brilliant!!!!

Very good work, and those bushes look so real i would've never expected them to be brushes!! High marks from me! Well done and good luck!

Good work author!!!!

Man this is huge! Really outstanding masterpiece!

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats! Very well done.

congrats

Congrats!

congrats!!

Congrats again

Congrats!

Great imagination! Just 2 suggestions: Make the plane bigger, and the smoke a bit less opaque. Good luck!

very interesting effect.. I really like the shadow casts from the smoke.. good luck author

I like this one very much, I'll ditto what CMYK46 and GolemAura said just as a sugestion, overall a very nice piece

Great idea..

nice job. the extreme right smoke's direction you have to change to our eye direction(according to the camera view)

passionate with computer games?) reminds me of starcraft or red allert. he he. nice!

great idea. very nice. well done

very nice! looks good

I would have tried something to make the plane less cartoony because imo the ground has a more realistic feel. That being said, great idea and well done composition. I like it a lot

I like it!

Creative use of source. Nice work, author!

Excellent idea.. nice work author !

looks great GOOD LUCK

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats! Very well done. Loved this one!

congrats!!

congratulations!

Congratulations

Congrats!

Nice one, magic balls

Holding my vote till I see the process.. what I see so far is very nice... can't wait to see the SBS

ARGHHHHHH.. the SBS was SO SIMPLE.. that is just AWESOME.. and the piece looked so Complex.. High marks from me (as much as I love the technical hula hoops alot of authors go through, I love seeing complex work that takes a keen sharp mind to create and find great way to do it..) Great job author

Good, but would be more interesting if they weren't all the same...or at least at different angles...

CMYK46, I tried all those variations - color and angles- and wasn't happy with any of them...this looks the most real to me so I guess we're in the land of "subjectivity." Thanks for your comment.

this imag could have worked in distorted gravity contest good

I don't think the reflections/shadows are in the right position. It looks like they are a bit too far back. Could be me, Nice idea... good luck

good, listen to CMYK46 & BlueSparkle......

good

maybe they should be a little darker at the bottom .. just a thought

you did very well

wow it's pretty cool one! and same time very fun! good luck!

nice one.....awesome smile

nice work. Body area come out very nice(merging). on the head you missed the metal sheet seperation.

gopan.. I merged the face separately with the metal.. you'll see in the sbs.. I wanted the face to stand out by itself .. did it on purpose... but I see exactly what you are talking about.. thanks!!! star for you

very funy. nice work author.

hehe cool!

nice work

NISHA.. hehehe.. they are actually a light shade of lime green on my puter, he doesn't brush well LOL
