You should tweak the reflection a bit... Looks like they are floating... But if you intended to make them look as they are floating then it's okay...

Somehow reminds me of Kill Bill... >.>

LOL... ha ha ha ha ha ha...

ROFL... carrot man is so lmao...

ROFL Now that's was simple yet exquisite lol... Great job author...

Love those eyes...

Aww now it's not a stalemate anymore... I liked the previous one better... This one fine as well( I already had cast my vote, so doesn't matter)... However instead of removing that knight you could have done an another thing...

But no need to edit it anymore, cause too much editing can ruin the feel of the picture... Just saying this so you can apply this to an another image...

Instead of removing that horse rider, you could have blurred him a bit and also blur the background( blur the background more than you blur the horse rider in the back...)

And then you could have blurred the horse rider in the front as well... This would have created a nice dof and more focus would have been drawn to those two swordsman on the ground...

As I said no need to edit it anymore... Was just giving an example...

LOL... I kinda find the whole scene funny... However the knights fighting on the bridge might need some shadow below their feet...

Also the knight on the right( in the bridge) need some masking between his arm...

Edit: Ahhhhh.. A stalemate... Nice... And the pic looks better now...

Now that will be really big and smelly fart lmao... I could say lighten up the smoke a bit... But it does contribute to image, so leave it as it is...

p.s. Should have included humor bar...

Missed masking, hmmmm... I compared the contest source, the outer source and the entry... I think that is not missed masking rather the reflection of the rock of the outer source... I matched the position and shape of the reflection with the supposedly missed masking and it matches... So no missed masking... But author should clarify...

(Guess I had nothing better to do lol)...

Rip Van Alpaca... >.>

Nice but howerver tilted maybe the glass, the water line should stay horizontal, not slanted as in this case...

I agree with Akassa... Color of blood is okay, but looks like paint... Needs to look more viscous... Try bevel n emboss, I mean try playing with bevel and emboss.. Also as blood begins to dry and harden, there will be kinda like a bump at the end of the blood flow... But you got the expression well...

If that planet is suppose to be earth( which I think is) and earth's 3/4 surface is covered by water that image would make pretty much sense... Anyway good image...

Also thanks to global warming sea level is rising slowly but surely... >.>

Would have nice to see a high res... Anyways nice work... Although the glass outside the frame is supposed to be transperent right... However I can't really make it out in the small res...

Maybe those petal are injected with super regenerative serum... Even though if it plucked out from the plant, the petals regenerates at hyper speed Or maybe its magic... Well putting aside my comedic attempt( and the glitches), I find the image to be nice...

Edit: Lol had to be you author... Ha ha ha ha gotcha author... Losing 14 petals and still having lots of petal... That daisy sure have lots of petals... XD

The flower is there... I can see it... Works for me... It's like seeing a small dot on a white wall, but it helps in improving concentration( it is a compliment author )...

I donnu, but won' the iris( or cornea, actually I forgot the proper term) catch the reflection of the dropper at that close range... Just curious...

Well I do get your concept of filling his/ her( can't make out the gender) eyes with fish with a dropper and it became something like a pond, river or sea... But don't the surface of these also have reflection???

Edit: wow.. and they looked like another batch of fish swimming there... that sure fooled me lol

ahh... had the same idea... to make it like those clay soldiers... so now have to think of something else...

Contd. Also not a biggie and the cover will be folded as well( a personal perference)... The face in the cover should have extended to the back cover as well... Coz would have fitted the flow of your cover better... But still a cool album( afterall blue is cool)...

Cool... I love your color scheme... Actually I love images that are in greyscale with hint of some color... The thing about album covers is that you can create as you want... There are no hard and fast rule as to "you must put album name here", "put song list in this way" etc etc... However how whacky or cool looking the song list is, It must be at least 70% clear to look at... Your song list is good, although the song title "What ever it takes" is somehow hard to read... Mind you, I said hard to read, not unreadable...

Hmmm... Blended... Nice take on the theme...

Neat... I had those kind of aquarium widgets for my cell phone... Only one thing, the perspective of the the feed fish button is really off... See the other button...

Blur the foreground and sharpen the Halo planet... Will be clear than... Also If you can, use soft focus creatively to put more focus on that ring planet, just don't overdo it... Maybe add lights to the ring or perhaps not... Just a suggestion...

Edit: You can also tilt that apparatus in the top right corner of the image a few 10 degree upwards and pull it back a bit...

Also move the spaceman to the left and flip him horizontally if you want coz if you flip him you may have to adjust his lightning I guess...

Just like the name bow saw XD... Coolness

Cool... Can you tell me some site where I can get info on how to use lightwave... I want to learn lightwave myself... Again, nice entry

edit: I did google, but mostly I find advance tut... I need basic guide as to know the whole structure of the software... I know there are books but want recommendations as not to waste time reading several at once...

Just brilliant... Simply brilliant... And since Aura gave you 3's I am gonna give you

@aura lol you increased the number of thumbs up

He he he... dunno about that... I am a real procrastinator... I really don't know how I finish the entries I submit lol... Only 1 day left... Don't think I will make it lol...

Whooooppeeee... Classic UFO... Just what the doctor ordered... Author, you really seems on steroids in this particular contest... But love it... Now all we need are 3D rendered Man In Black to save us lol

edit: i think tne means Tao Nei Eng... Which might be the name of the alien race lol...

Well sarcastically happy it seems... More like giving out an expression like "Heh"... XD cool though...

Colorful is what I say...

Well that was cool... Actually I didn't mind the format... The image before looked better... And also not every cover opens from the front side e.g. in japan it opens from the back side... So your previous version was not wrong if you did it intentionally... Well I am adapted to reading both from left to right and right to left... Same case goes for opening a book or cd in this case... So it doesn't matter to me... Anyway again nice cover

Edit: It's just an suggestion, If you haven't merged your psd file and the sections are movable, don't cut and re arrange... Instead just shift the text...

And it would also different, the whole band at the back cover instead of the front cover... Although you will need clever song placement as not to overlap their faces...

Nice colors... Looks psychedelic... And flower power XD

"Using any 3D creation software, render a scene to do with Space travel. Use your imagination, be original. Detailed step by step guides are mandatory. In this contest, your scenes and models cannot be pre-built... Create your own models and your own textures. Everything has to be made by yourself, shown clearly in a step by step guide! Good luck"

@dka120 Well I too had that doubt but I didn't give it much thought... Coz as seen in the guideline, says "scenes and models cannot be pre-built"... And it also says "Create your own models and your own textures"...

However it doesn't say anything about "you cannot use outside texture"... Well even pro use outside texture and some even create texture from pre-existing textures... Ahh well will be better if mod clarify on this... Coz guides can be interpreted in different ways by different people...

Also this is the first time 3D specialized contest is being held... So can let go the first time... Just my humble opinion...

He he he... I had a similar idea... But still I will try doing it... Even if the concept is same, my suppose to be final image is quite different... Hope you won't mind

Anyways kudos on this concept...

Hey... Now that's cool... There maybe some quirks here... But doesn't matter to me... Again nice pics...

Edit: Scratch that thought... I think I saw something else lol...

Help... Run for your life... The borgs are coming... Or better use an rather overused phrase "Beam me up, Scotty!!!!" lol... Cool pix...

NIce... Looks good, esp. the crown...

Cool... Btw whats the actual size of the high res in inches??? Just curios, the high res is cool in fact and the text doesn't looks blurry at all in high res... But however in small size it might become unreadable... But who the hell tries to read song name from a album from 10 feet far away... Most common and optimum distance is 15 to 30 cm... Other than the blur issue in small res... This is neat...

Simple yet outstanding love this...

"You can either come up with a fictional rockband, or use a real rockband. If you decide to make an album cover for an existing rockband, you cannot use any elements from previous albums. Only the bands logo can be used."

Yes you can use the real name and also their logo/tm as well...

Cool... It cuts well, doesn't it??? Nice render and textures...

I guess pxleyes should make an another guideline for info about what software can be said to be pure 3d software... I do admit with the author thought that illustrator has decent decent ability( although I dunno how to make a sphere with the 3d extrude tool ) and is used in conjunction with many pure 3D software...

Edit: Ummm why the hell my comments are getting cut... Is there some text limit to comments... Whenever I write a long comment it gets cut... Anyways what I wanted to say was pxleyes needs to improve the description given for contest esp the theme contest...

I hate seeing contest getting removed due to misinformation or misunderstanding...

Oh well, without yin there is no yang and likewise... yin and yang need each other...

Edit: Btw the way cool render... 3D modeling is real tough when you try make stuff other than primitive shape... I am trying to learn lightwave and it is kicking my rear end lmao...



More edit: I am not an expert or whatever... But maybe there might be some optical illusion that happens due to the positions of certain space in a 2d or 3d space... e. g. there is an well know basic optical illusion where 2 parallel line of the exact line... One line has outward arrow at both it's edges and the other has inward arrow.... so when view they look like they are of different length... Anyways I may be wrong... But the image rock as hell

Neat... You have recreated the mascot "Eddie" pretty well... Love the glow in his eyes...

cool image... I am not so sure about the tunnel light to be that strong to have create silhouette that dark... Also the surrounding might reflect some light as well... But hell I have never been in such tunnel nor have i ever seen a band perform or people at that angle in a tunnel... Don't change anything though... It looks cool...

rofl... And I thought this was those side ad that pxleyes show lol... good job

lol... I had something similar in my mind... lol this is really cool... And I really love that title... "Ground Control to Major Tom... Your circuits dead... There Something Wrong... Can you Hear me Major Tom... "

Awesome... The fact that it is rough really has it charm... Really good drawn...

god damn you and your entries... they make me laugh right away... lol
