Hi All

There are a few small changes to make before this picture is finished but
I'd like your comments before I finalize it.

The Stilt man was constructed around the Daz Michael figure, using rhino to
make the stilts armour and props. the Pusher uses LQ's character pack. Both
figures have customised image maps and textures. The ball is an iso surface
the "Sythes" were constructed in hamapatch.

I've learnt a huge amount doing this picture, it started as an entry to the
IRTC War round but RL got in the way. I've since used it as a learning
exercise. It is part of a triptych which I may or may not get around to
finishing.

Mick

First of all, gorgeous clouds, as usual. :) The rest, meanwhile, is too odd
for my tastes. Um, nice, nevertheless.

Interesting. Is there a story behind this?

How are you finding Rhino?

wow excellent color scheme and texturing.

only thing that stood out negatively for me was the bolt caught
inmid air without any blur- it just sort of hangs there...

what a great effort though!

I have to agree about the bolt needing some motion blur. Also, I'm not sure
what's going on with his right arm ( viewer's left), but that skull headed belt
buckle he's got is just too cool. On the whole, this is the sort of stuff that I
find really inspiring. It looks great.

Darker, less shiny water may be good.  But the general brightness of the 
image seems fine.

  Appart from what others said, I will add that the horizon line seems too 
well defined for a "misterious" scene. Very well done, indeed...

I like the sphere, especially the surface. How did you do it?

It's an isosurface based on a crackle function with form. frequencu is used to get the
repeats.
