Looking better already.

A good effort, though I think you are good enough to improve this dragon fly a lot.
If you have a look at some reference images (sxc has 424 dragonfly pictures) you can see that the tops of the legs are positioned much closer together, and the tails are split into several segments.
Perhaps if you also made the background green instead of red and positioned the dragonfly on a stick it would look even better.
All the best.

gud luck author......... nice ..............

nice work!

Yes. Looks a bit more like a cage, but it's a good render. The bird could be more elegant, with full spread wings etc.. but I like this.

im sorry to say that it looks more like an oil lamp rather than a crown..evrything is done well only if you could adjust the shape of the crown.

Good work!

Wow...wonderful!

Nice modelling but the texturing needs effort for making it look real....

You have made a wonderful thing....But the only thing is that it looks more like a cage than a crown...If you can change the shape it would become beautiful....

Wonderful...congrats on 2nd!!!

Congrats as usual, Billy

Congratulations for 2nd

great job

nice modeling!

Excellent entry!!

Good job with the modeling, and great SBS! I'm not a 3dsmax user, but I learned one trick I could use in my 3d software.

The texturing however could have been better. I like that you added bump to make it look more worn and realistic, but it's too strong and uniform. It makes it look like a stone.

You could add more irregular bumping layers (maybe like long scratches) and lower the overall bump effect. It could then be enchanted with reasonable amounts of reflection and specularity.

Fabulous work

very nice!

very nice work

This one is very very good! I just don't like the texture, ARGH, it's sooo 'crooked' and all. Just change UV mapping it'll be great Also, the image is blurry, looks like you resized a small-res render. But it's awesome anyway, gl! =)

very nice

nice entry, it looks very real

very nice

funny image. looks good
