great work author...love the perspective...well done

Great Job... I like it

The fashion accessories need to cast some shadow (maybe only one or two pixels) onto his skin. But even then, I don't get why he's looking at the ceiling in any compelling way. (Here in Maimi, that's a sign that another lizard has gotten into the house—yawn.)

@Danlundberg: I don't think that those are supposed to be fashion accessories. I think that he's supposed to be some sort of cyborg or somethig. In which case, author, the shadows woud be on the inside of the holes in his flesh to give them some depth. Or use an internal bevel on the mechanical parts. Does that make sense?

Downoffthedragos has the point! Image looks a bit flat without depth in the skin or in the machine.

much better with the inside shadow author!

thanks, i touched it up a bit....hope that pulls it together

The dry hair in a pouring rain looks a bit weird...

Thanks for the feedback MossyB..good observation..made some changes to the hair.

This is some awesome work, check the rain/ water details in hi-res folks.
You could experiment a bit with the blending of that girl. I get that you wanna make her like she's transforming as shes passing through, but IMO her back side should still be desaturated and overlayed with green-ish, the colour of the environnement.
EDIT: now that i changed the screen i realize that it was not green-ish, but you get the idea, she needs some desaturation and some lower brightness on her back,hair&hands,try with some level overlay.
PS: I DON'T usually make comments behind a messed up PC screen ,..

Pure beauty...

Looks so nice.... good luck... I like the colors.

Thanks for the comments..at greymval, i had tried removing the blues and cyans from the dress, but when i did that it made the dress too desaturated and it removed any depth that the model has with the stone structure and it felt too flat..so i left it with that little bit of blue..thanks for the comment tho, good suggestion

I like this, the only thing I might have done differently is the color of the forest she is walking in to. It looks too red and it makes me think of fire.

very very good work author...love the model...best of luck

very nice composition - great work

wow!! awesome! love the title too

Really nice.
I wish there were some warm tones in it, though. It's too blue.

hehe, looks like this elephant should take a walk with a certain large turtle!

omg!! i`m luvin this one...luv the mood n the lightin!! brilliant!!

it is very ,good luck you take me in your sied

Looks pretty good. I don't like the direction the two are walking in, would be better if they were walking in the same direction as the elephant. Or if they were sitting on top of it instead of walking. It feels like they drop of the cliff really soon. Gl

beautiful image author...

Congrats Matteo! Did you use the source of father and son before, it looks familiar?

The black hands don't make it look very hopeful, looks kind of scary. A bit of glow around it might help, too.

I think hope is the butterfly... am i right?

I think the hands need to be less jagged in places and maybe the eye would look more sinister with the lids slightly closed in appearence... you've made a good start...

thank you for the comments.
ooh. yes the hands are made to make it look scary. they are the evil.

but like in the description there is hope beneath all the evil, you just have to capture it beneath them.

yes hope is the butterfly. thank you. i will try about the eye lid.
