Hi!

After some time, I'm at another image. I would like to hear some comments
about it.
The watertexture is mostly by Christoph Hormann, the serpent's head is part
of a poser dragon I downloaded sometimes somewhere and that guy in the front
is obviously a poser man, too.

I rendered this in Megapov 0.6a, 'cause the changes in the isosurface-syntax
kept me from using the ship model in the beta versions of 3.5. I started to
convert it to the new syntax, but than it was changed again. Now I'll wait
until the final version.

I already made some changes to guy in the foreground (rotated him to hide
the right arm, changed eyebrow and lip color).

Should I lower the camera to break the waterline with the mans head?

This image took about 5h to trace on my PII 450.

Greetings,

Marc-Hendrik

I think so, yes.

Nice work. That serpent texture would be very good for a fiery red dragon  =)

No

The man is too dry - make him wet, the water would reflect the red serpent especially
on his hair.

excellent - the serpent needs to be a bit more randomly coiled, and some
huge splashes wouldn't go amiss :)

Nice composition, but i don't like the water. ;-)

It looks too bright and the reflections somehow don't look right i think. 
I'm also missing transparency.

Lips are too bright red for the situation, methinks. Should be pale
and more towards purple, and the comlpexion should verge on whitish
wax color. That's all IMHO, of course.

Swim, Pee-Wee Herman. Swim for your life.

Seriously, nice pic. Since the ship looks much better than the serpent,
perhaps finding an arrangement that shows more of the ship and less of the
serpent would make the picture better.

I find very strange the fact that the ship and the serpent seem to be in the
horizon. I think that one would expect, by the size of the boat, to be
closer than the horizon.

Otherwise, very good job with the ship and the serpent of the sea!

Nice image!

I wonder how comfortable a fire serpent would be in water....

Looks like a very low camera angle.  Judging for the person in the water,
the camera is probably only two or three feet off the surface which is why
the boat and monster appear on the horizon.  This is a fantastic scene.  It
has a true sense of terror about it.
