friendception and birdception nice colour + idea

reminds me of dream theater song called a change of seasons.. nice vew + season's "gradation"..

Lol... Ye right.

GL, Author. Let's see if I could save my free time to join this competition within the last minutes of contest dateline.

Nice Author! Thanks for support me... Lol!

Instant fav. Not just because you mention my name. Lol...

Instant fav. Although the facial expression might better meet the 'pron' movies... Lol~!

Hey man, nice techniques with The Real Flow. Or it isn't RF at all?

No offense, but maybe people couldn't really understand your situations with the written SBS. I know it's Maya just by the render looks. But some people might need to know what's going on in the process, though some will not need or care to see.

Anyway, 5 stars for your effort on written SBS & high votes to your entry as well.

Congratulations, my friend, Bernie!

I love especially the Matthew you written there!

Hey... I like this image! The techniques @ your SBS too! Instant fave & totally high vote from me! Good luck, Author!

Congratulation, dear Author!

Awesome, dude!

But the other legs is on the surface of water...

Nice one, Author.

[ こんにちは ]~!

I felt so blue by looking at this... nevertheless nice entry, man!

You got the righteous groove, Author!

Nice one, Author!

Really LOVE this!

Hi there, Author, did you able to add more (20% or 30% Opacity) highlights to edge of the word "RED"? It will definitely give the word more stand out (ofc a little, not too much) from the background.

Good luck on your entry!

Yeah, Dubhy63, you are absolutely right! I'm a fan of the historical events & design. They live forever in my mind. This work of you (Author) inspire me to do a thing or two for my competition as well. It looks like a Caviar or Black Label Alcohol Drink. Very nice attempt to do the naval army (armada). High score, top notch!

Good luck on your contest, Author! Wish the best!

MossyB is right on the strictly manners. I'm the "rulebreaker" in my country, I'm sorry I'm making this statement, but I'm not the lawbreaker.

Ichappell, thanks for your attention to me. About google translate, yes. Especially when it translate from Japan > English then I swap the language. Man... it's messed up! The only way I could learn "Engrish" is from chatting & comments like this through the net.

Aheman is right on the "big" waves but IMHO, make the ship double-size would seems (once again IMHO) break the composition. Try to calm the waves first, then it should be right.

Another NICE update on this, Author!

From Rocket > Dragon > Balloon thingy!

Err... it's SWAN, am I rite? Anyway, Author... it's a nice work! A little suggestion though; need a little reflections as well to your Golden Swan.

Good Luck~!

Do not worry about the rules too much, Author. I have my works pulled off too PLUS a WARNING. But, at least, I'm thinking that they are do their own job, as I do mine if I were them. I'm happy, my works got pulled out because I'm too damn HOT to handle, am I?

Anyway, best of luck, Author. My only suggestion is the water... it's kinda blurred of some parts. Or smudged too much. That's all. Have a good day!

Really like your idea, man! Though it's a bit cartoon (comic style) renders in my opinion. But surely it's a fantastic work, Author! Top notch, high score!

Hi there, nice attempt on the idea behind this creation. I'll give a little suggestion if you don't mind. First of all, I would like to give the water a little highlights as well as the ship.

The clouds are good but it's a little distract the main object. I think it could be a little blurred with the Gaussian Blur or masking > temporary remove some areas in the main object.

But it's all up to you, Author. It's your great creation anyway.

That's looks like Kardel Sharpeye from Dota with a Golden armor.

Okay, dude... congratulation on your 'OLD' crocodile. Lol~!

Spotlight rocks for sure!

WOW, man! Congratulations on your 1st place~!

NICE... WELL DONE but agreed with aheman. The flowing problems because there's a minor shadows in my opinion.

And this is just my input, Author: the Rim Lights should never be 100% white. Photographers will know about this, even if it's directly hit from the sun, there will be a little yellowish or even reddish for the rim lights.

Still, top notch blending, Author! High votes! Good Luck!

Cool, Author!

'Poke'... mon. XD

Try to smudge it a bit. With a strength about 80%. More or less.

If you have a tablet, It'll done easily with the smudge tool. But first, do not erase it, try using masking capability in order to achieve the better manipulation tools.

Good luck, Author.

Hey there... I'm sorry if I butting in... but it's not just the hair. The head also. It seems unnatural. Try to adjust it a little bit to the up. So the face should be balance enough.

Good luck, Author.

LOVE THIS ONE~!

YES! LOVE CAN'T WAIT... AGREED, COMMANDER!

Nice one... Love it~!

CUTE~!

I suggest, try to change the bevel effect to down (might be best work with inner bevel). Try desaturated the gears a little bit, not too much bright colors like you did.

Anyway, I thought it was 3D render at the first time. Great job & what a nice idea, author~!

"choq"... Lol! Definitely my fave too...

GREAT~!

Ouch, MossyB, really ouch... but agreed with the corrections. Esp the fire... I don't know how to describe, a little yellowish white of true fire would make those fires realistic.

Agreed with the interesting concept. Looks so glooomy though. Good luck~!

Very your style, Author. Good luck~! Don't you want to join Pixar?

I hope I could join this contest as well...

Author... it looks like (I'm sorry, no offense) Nazi to me.

But alas... GREATO ENTRY~!

AH~ thank you, author... you've made me gain a quite interesting inspirations for the contest... XD

DUDE, CONGRATS~!

Superb as always, Author~!

HEI, congratulation, barney... Oops! I mean... Author~!!

Congratulations on your 1st place, man~!

Hi, Author... I see, it's a hybrid type of Pandoran People, Na'vi. Nice blending, Author. More like LOTR's high elven to me. Still, nice choice of soft blending colors techniques. Instant fave & high score for this one.
