Just a suggestion: I might make the color of the steps closer to the color of the head, and add a shadow on the left side of the white object at right, since the lighting is from our right. Interesting use of the source...GL.

Such a beautiful image! Congratulations!!

Very difficult to see the original source. I think a SBS would help the voters see how it has been used and ultimately give you a better score.

thanks, i put up the SBS

Wow, lots to look at! Only suggestion would be shading where the arms and legs meets the blob. Good luck!

very distorted looking...and what are the blobs meant for?

The distorted look is to make it look like looking down at the heat from the works below the chain system from above.

The concept of the red colored rock blobs is to be sent to be carved out to be the body of the Colossus.
I saw a video on the theory of how we think some of the forgotten tribes used large pits of fire to heat the stones before carving them into their idols. It was believed heating something up changes the temper and puts the life of the fires into the rocks. Also they believed If there is metal in the stone it will make it stronger and stand the test of time.
Thank you for the comment.

You need better drugs.
