Absolutely fantastic...masterpiece!!

Amazing draw! Really great entry. Congrats author you did a really good job there!

Great job!

What a nice concept.I am always suffering,seeing Your images.Don't get me wrong,dear author.This is super work and good image.But,when i imaging the same idea,created and rendered in 3d space,or even using carefully selected textures,this one really looks so-so.I hope,that You find time and enthusiasm,to try Your luck in max or another 3d app.Especially,that You have composition and cartoon creation sense.Images like this,for example:http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=121&t=563146,simply looks better.

jaskier, I have seen your reference, it is awesome but that was created completely in 3d using texture, lighting render etc. How can anyone use source image with 3d rendered scene, he can only use source for texturing. It mean firstly he has sketch, then create character model then finally render this 3d space to picture which is fill with source in photoshop or some other program..No doubt author has created amazing work using source only. why it should be compare to 3d rendered scene.

speechless, love the way you make your entries, they all have a story behind them, BTW I hope his story doesn't have a happy ending, hope he doesn't find what he's looking for :P

congrats

What can I say, it's wonderful, Congrats

Congrats!

Congratulations, celebrations, well done Keep up the good work

Nice Job and Congrats!

Congrats... And Excellent SBS (lots of efforts in tat )

Thank you all, people, for your vote and kind comments, more than appreciated! Jaskier, thanks for your comment. Not completely sure though if I totally get what you want to say. In this entry -or my work so far- it's not my goal to make such hyperrealistic image possible, although in my style I do like to think about how it còuld be in 3D. But I'm more than aware that this is far from "real" (in case you'd make this in ie 3Ds Max). I just try to make my own interpretation of the source image I see and that can be done in many ways. Your example is absolutely great, but I'm not sure why it should be compared with above entry. It has another technique, another goal. You bet, I'd like to do more with 3D, but to get to such level as in your example, you need to know a LOT of the program, modelling, rendering, use of light, etc. I'm realistic enough to know that I'm far from that knowledge so far. SO for now the least I can do is use PS and try to improve those skills. But I appreciate your comment, thanks again!

Congrats!

Congratulations.

congrats

Late for comment , but i love thiss great job.

very nicely done, good luck and welcome back =)

thank u... i was a newbie here.. i had just posted a couple of entries after which the site went down.. glad it is back on..

very well done.. and it has such a creepy but fantastically ancient appeal.. good luck

make it darker and blurry as the image fades out to the end... that will give you depth of field

Very nice, great job there! Looks like a temple's entrace.

I like this one!

Nice very well done Good luck!

Pretty nice result, but for some reason it looks a bit Escher-esque. Which is not wrong, of course. I see some darkgrey colors behind Kanaloa's tentacles, that's a shadow? Maybe if you use one of the blending options (or lower the opacity a bit) it will work better. Overall well done , good luck!

Great imagination!!

Good luck!

Very well done.

Another one to make it back.. Well Done.. I think the tentacles are a bit too blurred.. GL.

I like this, nice work

Nice job
