A long time ago I learned how to paint using oil on canvas. Now, I don't know if I can do it now...

you got the ticket to next round... good job buddy

Good job again, knew it was you

Wow..nice!..love this piece of art..GL author

• Thanks for the faves and comments, everyone. Glad you like it. Still need a lot of improvements IMHO, my entry was a last 'rush' hour before the deadline. I couldn't put ALL my imaginations into that piece.

@ Erikuri, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I do painting with oils, acrylics and pastels. But nowadays, it's not qualified with the industries' standard workflows. We need digital painters, matte painters who could done this kind of art in hours or quickly without delays.

• P.S : to tell you the truth, I'm doing this surreal entry within my work on office time. Or else it's couldn't be here to display... =(

Beautiful work again. It brings me memories of my oil, acrylic, watercolor painting days. Nice combination of the green. yellow and blue colors. Good luck my friend.

I have no words...

Congrats with a spot in the next round

Congratulations! Good luck on the next round!

Congrats!!

Congrats, but still believe the clouds were brushes.

• Thanks for the nice comments and votes.

@ solkee: thanks to you too, but I sent you (or the other mods) the proven clouds sbs, rite? = )

• Next time I just use the photos and manipulate it just like the others so you could probably believe it wasn't a brush after all. Peace and cheers.

@ solkee: Im sorry if I brag in.
why are you underestimate another people skill? if someone can REALLY make the cloud as realistic as the brushes, they don't deserve the rights to be BELIEVED?

just open CGHUB and see a lot of great artist drawing cloud in a realistic result.

I wonder if those entries above used the cloud brush instead of painting or make it by himself?!

wow amazing digital painting!! congrats my friend!

HexaNode, I don't underestimate anybody's skills. Also the images at cghub.com are not being questioned here as they have nothing to do with this site. I voiced my opinion as a member of the site in the comments as I am allowed to do and then I messaged the author in private. If the author is so concerned about my comment we can certainly make it quite public, but I doubt that is what the author would like.

The statue of Liberty is not a building nor is the Washington Monument even though both have stairs and an observation platform neither one is classified as a building. Your Guitar is too small for people to enter in any case. It's more like a statue and not an example of roadside architecture.

But its inside a building dont you think? Thats why i call it ancient its old and just a few of rocks left from the original one. Anything that you can be inside is a building, anyway i going to change the guitar . But i keep my point of view.

Well now you've completely changed the image. Just to help you understand, the guitar being inside a building doesn't make it a building. You could have made a larger guitar big enough for people to go inside with doors and windows and that would have been a building.

Thanks now i get the point of the contest, im working on a giant guitar now xD

The poster on the right is a tad out of perspective.

Amazing work, perfection in every detail!

superb work.... very comic book like

fantasy creatures are always my favorite..... no probs wat they look like and wat they do... .
good luck buddy

love everything in this image! Great work!

Thanks for nice comments, friends. It means a lot to me and I'll keep them coming for upcoming contest (if there's no problems to my current job) as well. Lots of great entries here, just wanna slip with my fantasy creatures imagination though. = )

Still have many details lost to my final result, still need a lot of improvements to the painting and compositing. Hope everyone like it. Have a great time!

Instant FAV!! perfect!..
amazing SBS author..
my respects to you!!
Good Luck!

IMO too much filter is used on the background and a lot of the detail disappeared. REALLY nice composition overall though and good use of source!

Thanks for the nice comments and FAV, friends. Really means a lot to me.

@Kid; you're mistaken. It's not filters I've been used for the background. It's a digital painting method with SAI Brush that has a textured like a paper (watercolor rough paper) and it's obviously to distract viewer's eyes into the main composition; the Golem and the Fat Boy. = )

Thanks once again and hope I'll improve my final artwork for the next time. Also have a great-great time, fellow artist.
