Wow stunning. Did you paint that completely from your mind or did you use refs?

excellent as always. Love your watereffects.
The only thing that isn't working for me is the boulder above the dino's back, it looks like he's "wearing" it as a backpack. I don't know how best to make it push back in the paint layers, possibly a desaturation of the rock or a new verticle stroke that seems to flow through the dino. Not sure, but thats the only thing that's detracting for me.
(the shadow on the dino's back does help establish it some that the boulder is above him.) |

Yep, someone on conceptart mentioned it before.
This is, what i said to this problem:
The point with the "onTop-rock" ... damn, your right 
It's supposed to give contrast, but this "effect" wasnt my effort.
But, hey, this is finally finsihed (well, im really tired of this one - happy and tired ) so this shall be the punch-line of this piece.

H4H4H4, when I first saw that pic I thought teh T-R3XxX would be chewin' on a rock stickin' out of da water falls.
Which was much of a turn-on.

Wow this piece is amazing.
If you want to fix the rock -problem you could remove the most of the shadow on the dinosaurs back, just leave a little shadow on the dinosaurs right.
Keep giving master pieces, I like how you use the green color.

I don't want to say anything negative about it but I will just say that for me, I feel the level of detail kills the pic to some extent. I dunno..
Great though, keep it up. |

Thx all.
Capt. yeah, i know what you mean, in a way a feel the same.
Matt, yep, this could work to seperate them - but this picture is still finished for me. There are some more issues to fix here and there ... and some things couldnt be fixed, so i will leave this and paint new ones.
@sometypeof, to achieve such structur i use a thin elliptic basebrush combined with a secondary-brush(PS 7 Brushengine) with a good working texture in it.(for this one its just a standard custombrush with circles in different sizes). The thin elleptic basebrush is important for me to define where to paint and where not - its especially necessary if you work on edges or in thin lines. The custombrush gives it some more detail and (important) some variation depending on "spacing, size, scattering, ..."

Very nice work Duracel!
Only thing I'd mention is that it would be nice to have some spray and mist from where the waterfall hits rock and mist rises at the bottom.
Nice. |

I really appreciate your textures here. I did a quick overpaint (3 minutes...) to see about resolving the rock strapped to the back issue. If you despise my paintover, tell me and i'll take it down. What do youthink?

Thx for help - yeah, it works better. But anyway, i will not fix this piece anymore.
PS: I never have something against paintovers! Most times its the best critic you can achieve, and im happy evertime, someone just pick out your own work to make it just better.
