That looks really good! The whole setting seems very cliche and unoriginal (Wtar Wars anyone?) yet it works perfectly!

[The Real Mark]

That's hot!

Any 3d used in there? how'd you tackle it?

[ElfGirlKimmy]

Wow, that's absolutely incredible!!! You are very talented.

Very impressive tiger!

Although some of handling of perspective/distortion isn't sitting quite right with me (eg.the little vertical men and some work on the domed buildings), I like the design of it all, the 2 large buildings and the city behind it, and the background and sky work is really nice.

Would it have been possible to disguise some of the duplication? Where you have repeating objects (statues, treetops) i think maybe some need some variation to help the illusion work better.

Soon you'll be a full-on matte-painter!
Time and effort doing this = kudos.

Very impressive for sure. The distortion is distracting though... Look at the dome further away for example, it seems that the mid-line, if you were to imagine it passing through the archway and up along the dome isn't exactly where it should be... Probably the immense scale of those buildings makes the distortion appear even more prominent. Those are some big arches!

with that picture, you don't need anyone wishing you luck.

althoug, i would tilt those little men to fit in with the domes and stuff

Good luck.
Though you don't need it 'cause you are definetly in top 5.

I don't know if I'm going to even enter the next challenge, because I'm so embaressed with my rescent entry, now that I compare it with yours and most of those masters entries.

This is very good! Looks like I know the painting from Dusso that inspired you to do this. Only the lower part of the ship on the right seems too bright to me.

[gLitterbug]

Very nicely rendered. As stated there is some distortion that distracts a bit here and there. All in all great work, but it�s a bit too inspired from here and there to really appeal to me as a concept.

[frantic]

very cool stuff you did there dude.

I just would say that there are some perspective 'eye catchers' which is a little bid disturbing.. So I agree with what others said about those issues.

But my respect goes to you.. very good artwork.

i agree with fred, and ... you dont need that much luck Nice work!

[Cpt.Obvious]

Thanks guys,
yeah, there are some bugs in the picture, like characters arnen't fitting perspective shortcut (?) , and lot more , I missed that damn,

anyway good to hear you like it

[spline]

Wow!

One of the coolest pictures I have seen in a long time! You certainly are among the top!

Kind of like the perspective distortion, brings you into the picture...I also don't think the statues needs to look different, if they where in reality the same looking and standing like that the light would fall on them from the same direction and they would thus look very similar, so I don't see anything wrong with that.

The only thing I think could have made it even better would have been if the shadows was more blue...But I might be wrong here...
