Psycho Girlfriend, Steven Stahlberg (3D)

[qba3d]

Wow for the First time I`ll be the first one..
Us usual I love it. If I can crit , I wold add some smal iluminations on the building on the right. It looks flat a bit, but other than that - GREAT!
Q

[koncz]

As always one another great creation, i really like the ambiance of this one :thumbsup: .

The pose of the character and her face expression are really good too.:)

Georges. :)

[vegass]

Simply amazing... :bowdown:

[Lourdelle]

Very nice render and composition, nothing to say, .. ohh yes

congratulation, amazing work !! :eek:

[AIR]

This is nice work,it made me look at it certain amount of time.Looks very sexy,this raging girl
It has really good atmosphere,the clouds behind,,the biker,,i like it.

[hertzchim]

wow, that is pure drama! with the patented Stahlberg Playboy overlay.

you rock, man! (as we tend not to say in Oxford)

:)

this is great work (and such a revealing angle).

debate point: erotica - can it be called so if the pixels are computer generated rather than photographed? For me, this is as erotic as any 'shoot'. Angry young women, mmmmmmm.

[Stahlberg]

Forgot to state: all vehicles from De Espona model bank.

[ceql]

I'm quite enjoying this recent super-burst of new artwork from you, Steven. This is probably one of my fav. of your recent new ones (well, it's between this one and the fairy catcher one :)). Seems like you're having alot more fun these days! :D
It's been fun to watch the WIP thread to see the various progressions, too. I dig the improved lighting tweeks in the final image (esp. the smaller green circular lights from the windows below is a nice touch).

[alex.h.]

hej stahlberg. its great, love it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
vi ses..

[DenkoM]

good idea ... i like that...:thumbsup:

[hauke]

Very cool pic. I like the voyeuristic with the bike looking straight at the girls underwear. :-)

[alexfalchi]

Ho, ho....super sexy girl....I love:)...nice pic!!

[Tughan]

Wow, she is Psycho allright. I wonder does she wears Victoria's Secret too. :D

Excellent work again my friend. :applause:

[petteer]

Definitely sexy! :love:

[p0rcupine]

Hahaha I love this.. Great idea...
I am gonna show this to my girlfriend today..

Good job!!!

[Geta-Ve]

haha, nice ^_^

Did you take his helmet off though? I think he looked better with it on.. unless he never had one than forget what I just said :p

[learner88]

now it's really better!Excellente job as always!

[The Challenger]

Your work is amazing! Great job on capturing that feel to the 50 foot woman!

[Agostinuke]

Wow Stahlberg a really cool work. But are you sure that is the girl to be "psycho"? ;-)

cheers


ago-stino

[MLouis]

Havent seen anything, but great work from you. I love the modeling and overall composition. Good job.

[JFVerissimo]

Hey!
great psycho girl!
Im your fan!

[neofisk]

Man, that lycra spandex is some amazing stuff ... talk about stretch! http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Another incredible work ... you make it look too easy. http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[dcmoutinho]

great work Stahlberg, congratulation:thumbsup:

[Ameer Magdy]

I just dont know how do you keep doing this to us :eek: , how do you do it? I love the faces of the models, I know your touches in the thumbnails!

[sphere]

Nice work there :thumbsup:

Some nice additions and improvements from the WIPs!

[Gelero]

Well, this time I will share my thoughts.

When I open cgtalk.com and saw that little thumbnail focusing this girl, nothing else pops in my mind except: "Got be Stahlberg!".
hahaa And I am right!


Man, your art is terrific!
keep up the good work! :beer:

[nemoo]

I reeeeeeeeeally like this image but i think she needs more crotch.

Do you remember the manga style pic where a girl was eaten ba a plant and you could only see her legs and her panties? That would be the perfect crotch for this pic.

[Scott Harris]

nemoo...?

This pic it hillarious, Awesome...

[baby]

Steven again and always of course...
:love:

[ringzero]

more camel toe:D

[imashination]

Nice as usual, but the uniform building lights of the two towerblocks on the left look a bit out of place. Some different colours, or larger areas of darkness for closed businesses would help.

[maxlover]

cool as always..:)

[ps]

Character great. Excellent as always, but... i think that buildings in background may be more dark or more blurred and then first plan will be more clear. I'm not criticize, I'm olny hobbist, and i didn't end any school of art. I love your work and I am olny saying what I feel. Sorry for my english.

[eparts]

This image is really great! The lightning and composition is really dramatic.
Ive met the concept of the 50 feet tall woman before, in a french comic illustration, sorry I can't find it again. Anyways, your version really breaks the limit!

[ozy_g]

nice job Steven

[Viper]

Wow, this is a perfect concept! Really awsome stuff there mate. I really dig the pose you gave her...makes her little menacing and sexy aswell. Is she your female model btw?

[theCloudmover]

Now this is nice!


...and with the obligatory panty shot to boot!! :applause:

[bobzilla]

Really great work and love the concept. (I have some experience in that department)

I am by no means in any position to crit, but it might look a little more dramatic and help some of the "dark building" prob people are mentioning if the bike was pointed more at her (or popping a wheelie...although that might be too much) and having his headlight shining on her like the classic "giant military spotlights" that are always available when a giant monster appears! Plus if the light were shining up at her a little, you'd make her even scarier looking. Well, hot AND scary...

More of a suggestion than a crit...

[FabioMSilva]

2 images in less than one week? Stalhberg on fire!

[RayenD]

Powerfull stuff. You got me nightmares for today's night ;).

I think the thin rims under her left upper arm, around left side of the head/hair area and around helicopter look a bit like white 1 pixel matte, at least at this resolution.

[G-hand]

great piece as always:thumbsup: ....is it malaysia?:applause:

[filofilm]

Very Cinematic! I love it.

[Bulldog]

reminds me of my ex

[Cyberone]

very nice work here....

it is good to see a women with breasts that conform to gravity and arnt the size of a small moon on CGtalk for a change...very refreshing....lol

this reminds me of a dream i was having last night....ummmm

excellent!

[swag]

yehhh ... steven great one i love the girl :)

[DeluksZ]

Well..... i love the model, but what i love the most... is her pose :applause:

[onlooker]

That's awesome Stahlberg. This is a new side to your usual twisted manner. ;) Is the psycho girl constructed from the same model your using as your user picture? They look similar in a way, but not identical.


Very cool pic. I like the voyeuristic with the bike looking straight at the girls underwear. :-)

I didn't even think of that until you said it. :thumbsup: Too funny (Damn! That's some beaver!) :thumbsup:

[Troy McClure]

Oh my God, 2 pic in a week? Really impressive. You are my favorite CGartist:love:


Maya, MR rendering, a fair amount of PS painting (clouds, hair and other details). C&C welcome.
the hair are painted?

[sammokablamo]

wow, exactly what i'm going through right now. i love it.

[ElectroLux]

Heh... I hate how giant women always wear clothes made out of unstable molecules.


Concept is good, but she really should be naked. And if you want to censor (who knows, there might be prudes in here), use building, billboards or something like that to cover strategic spots.

[mangual]

This is great! Eventhough I was a little critical of the last piece you posted with those 2 furry girls, I must say that this one of a giant, rampaging woman is fantastic in both style and composition. Plus, she is striking a sexy pose.

[ThreeDeityMike]

As always - another incredible piece!!!

And I agree, most of us have kinda been in this position before with an ex. I love it, good job!!

[oxyg3n]

Nice work, Is it possible to see a wireframee?

[mushroomgod]

It risk of getting flamed (because im sure i will) I find this image coming from you a bit cliched and pridictable.


Techicaly fantastic though.

[archie1181]

haha! nice work. i like the rendering. looks like it's painted. :thumbsup:

[EricUNSL]

That's a whole lot a woman! :eek:

[Hooch]

That Girl really needs some fur right there!!.... LOL :D
Seriously, great work, very movie like atmosphere

Only one crit though, the clouds could use more work, maybe something more dramatic.

[Dodgeas3d]

Impressive work!

I just would like to know how much of image created in 3d and in PS, some parts seems matte painted :)

Great work!

[gui_mends]

King Kong version Woman? trick..!

That is so realistic!
Congrats!

[sphere314]

absolutely amazing as usual. the atmosphere of the piece overall is very well executed, the neo-fifties horror movie. i really enjoy this work, although i wish i could see just a little more anger from her eyes. if i look just at the eyes, i lose the intensity somewhat. but your composition lends itself to move the eye around the piece, so it's not too much of a problem. i also would like to know which elements are actually 3D modeled, even the man on the bike looks as if he were a painted image. just curious. very nice.

[yolk]

Excellent work again . :applause:


...........I shall be saw she before .............but I don't where...........

[<<GhosTS>>]

Very good steve.The composition is great.Very strong.Nothing much to say.Reminds me of the " Attack of the 50 foot woman "..

[Don Kayote]

THis is Awesome!!!

I don't want to know how they made love while they were still together. :)

[Ollarin]

Amazing work man! :thumbsup:

[Spc]

Nice atmosphere and amazing concept.
:deal:

[cha0t1c1]

omg, incredible work. I just can't describe how good this is. very funny, and very true. :D
great technically and meaningfully...

[WanielJorge]

:bounce: An image sex, that is mark of Master Stahlberg. perhaps aggressive and exciting:love: . I liked a lot.

[rafiadrian]

long time to see your artworks mr Stahlberg :)
've been look many posts of your art in about last 2 month it's amazing also you can mix 2d&3d become seamless

definitely best art , keep up the good work:thumbsup:

[Stahlberg]

Thank you thank you!!
Here's a screenshot of the scene (she's green because she uses a sss shader with nodes not recognised by the native Maya renderer). She's basically the same girl as the one in my avatar.

http://www.androidblues.com/girlScreen1.jpg

[AmnesicElephant]

Simply amazing. I'm reminded of the ending of Dude, Where's My Car?:
"I wanna go on that ride, daddy!"
"Me too, son... me too..."

-AE

[tabajara]

You simply rocks dude....

[nobrain]

The blending of the hair with the background is crap. it doesnt look right at all. maybe a better hair solution is needed. her hand looks like its broken and needs a cast immediately. even if this were a comic style image the hand still looks not so right. but i know wat kinda spiderman claw pose u were going for.

the render of the woman and clothing is bland compared to everything else.
overall a good idea. good execution.

[VM]

Man, that Malaysia's doing something to people... I've got a Malaysian friend and she's completely insane...
Mmm, actually she sais she's very different from everybody else in Malaysia but... hmmm...

[Steven_jd]

ya that really sexy i just want her to take me (shoppin) lol

[ThePumpkinKing]

Funny. Reminds me of that seen in Dude, where's my car. Great lighting and modeling on the women ripping of the building.

[kraal]

i usally do not comment much on a lot of the #D work here but i have to say that this image is exactly the opposite reason why i dont comment. Many 3d works just try to create some thin and look technically good and people rave ( but if it were a photo people would coment on how boring the composition was) this image is an actual story and not just a scene i really like it for all its compositional and illustrative value

[hackie]

you, GENIUS!:thumbsup:

[pascal_blanche]

love this one steven!

my two cents: left hand could have better grip in the building, we dont sence the strengh/tension in the fingers that cause those damages to the structure...

but anyway ;)
great work!

[tharrell]

Wonderful work as always, Mr. Stahlberg :love:

The composition and color palette remind me of comic book cover art back in the mid 80s. I'm actually quite liking your journey away from totally photo-real these days toward more stylized works.

As others in the thread have put it, I could tell it was yours from the thumbnail. Maybe I've studied that crinkle-nose blendshape video of yours once too often!

I'm curious about the peachfuzz-looking rimlight on her left (stage right) side. Is it an actual peachfuzz layer on top of mi_sss, a little bit of post doctoring, or just an illusion from perfectly placed rimlights?

Glad to see you getting prolific again, and in 2d as well. Keep it up -- there's a ton of us out here that really dig your work.

[Lunatique]

Great to see you being super productive! I actually like your inital idea of King kong's nightmare--I think it fits perfectly with the tongue-in-cheek feel of the image--it lends a sense of authenticity that no unidentified chick/guy could exude.

[matsuru]

OK steven. Nice job indeed. I have no comments. Just wondering how much the bra would cost? imagine the size of it~! :P

heard from ur junior that there is some 'ups and downs' in ur current company opti-digit. hope everything is resolved peacefully. btw, today is his last day at work in the office. :P

[DANKA]

Simply Amazing!!!

I love the touch of the lights from the train windows on her ankle!
great work master!

[ringzero]

It risk of getting flamed (because im sure i will) I find this image coming from you a bit cliched and pridictable.


Techicaly fantastic though.

NAH! GEDAWAY!

[Jameslsy]

You're the ultimate!

[loocas]

UBER-SWEET! As always mate :thumbsup: http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_4.gif from me :thumbsup:

[forve]

From love to hate is one step :) Great image.

[stefuse]

that's rocks !


Remember me some tv spot !

good composition !
Love the lighting too !
maybe the hair on the the back of the head are a little too shiny !
without this really good job !

so sexy....!:thumbsup:

[BebeteLANUITE]

Very amazing :thumbsup:
I love it.

I like the perspective on the leg of the woman and this hand that scratch the building.
I love a lot.

Good job. :bounce:

[mentholx]

i love her !hah...

[Stahlberg]

Thanks!
Lunatique, hm maybe but it's very hard to make a gorilla-like creature read like King Kong if it's just normal size... unless I rely on the title carrying the meaning, but that seems kind of wrong. Also it's been done before (well what hasn't), I distinctly remember a blond on top of Empire State building fighting airplanes with King Kong at her feet. Could that be Frazetta? Or am I insane?

[mangual]

Uh oh! It's been done before? Stahlberg are you sure you aren't copying another artist? Quick, when will someone put up a side-by-side comparison expose on how one of the buildings looks like one from another piece of art?


Wait - did I see a futuristic gun in there somewhere? Looks very similar! Plagiarism I tell ya.

[JCFrog]

technical POV : :) love a lot of things, composition, lighting, modeling...

artistic POV: :shrug: Don't like it at all. These knickers obsessions... (no, i'm not conservative, not even a puritan, i don't believe in any God,... ). Does everybody find this really class or is it just because it is a very well done (or just because she's so sexy ;) )?...

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Wonderful and sexy :)
I love this image :)

[cjj]

wow!:bounce: :bounce:
very very nice.:thumbsup:
amazing rendering and lighting!
what's the new of your personial websit rencently,master.:)

[Dave Anderson]

Outstanding work Steven , as always everything is top notch :thumbsup:

[nathanwallis]

how come sometimes I can see the images people are talking about and sometimes i cannot??? Is it server bandwidth or seomthing??? I mean in the threads

Cheers,

Nathan

[Teyon]

I saw the thumbnail on the Front PAge and thought, "Hey! steve did something new...". I laughed when I saw I was right. Great work. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, huh? :) neato.

-T

[voodoochile]

Raised a smile when I looked at this, a great image and I'm sure most people can relate to the psycho ex gf coming after you (unfortunately for me, she wasn't as pretty ;))

Good effect of her really coming at you, I had to ease away from my monitor when I opened the page.

[mitralone]

Hi tehere,

Great work again master. But this time, for the first time I have somthing to say.

I think her hair should be more transparent. It looks she has been taken from another more sunny scene and pasted into this one.

Besides that, she really rocks.

[jmBoekestein]

Hi Mr. Stahlberg,

love the way it turned out. Another well deserved frontpage piece of art:wise:. Seems you have once again created quite a stir, congrats! Must say you finished it pretty fast with the new work up, very inspiring.
Love the way you tore up the clothes, and how dynamic it looks, yeah...:drool: ... the depth really comes out.
The neatest detail imo is the left arm(on screen right one), the shading on it is excellent! The oily reflections and how much deoth can be read from it, wow.

Hope to see a lot more soon!

[alessandrolima]

Incredible! I love your job!
Very good!

Alessandro

[ja3d]

One of the best creations I ,ve seen here at long time, Very good modelling, texturing and composition. Congratulations! :thumbsup:

[Quizboy]

this rocks!

[mroranger]

Hi,
nice average image.
You are wasting your time, i like your work but this is step back.Sorry i dont like it very much.
Especially atmosphere, it looks a bit flatty(scamped lightning,something wrong with your skin shader), I cant recognize if it is stylization or just very quick-made image.
Im sorry,but im disagree with others.This is not very original idea neither picture for me.
But Im as always looking forward to yours next nice high quality images(as the old ones).

P.S.Sorry for my bad English.
Your exgirfriend must be devil :/

[GekiSan]

Awesome!
Great expression. :thumbsup:

And nice curves. :D

[NeptuneImaging]

Mr. Stahlberg,

As a recent college grad, you are my inspiration to 3D modeling and animation and I cannot wait to start another 3D model myself. The woman looks very wonderful and I like the fact her "assets" look natural and not overblown.

Ironically enough, I saw that same movie last night (Attack of the 50 ft woman) and then I saw this model again. Great work and very sweet outcome.

P.S.: You are one of my favorite artists... http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

[lebowski]

The idea to that pic is great, sorry for your ex inconveniences ;)
My crits: Her left arm/hand has a totally unnatural posture, there's no sense in it. Is she pulling herself towards or stbilizing herself or else?
I like the light from below very much, it hints on the size and position of the girl. But all the white moonlight all over her top takes everything away again. Maybe you should have positioned the moon much lower, and give her much more illumination from below. If she's this size already, go all the way by exaggerating some devious light too ;)
The helicopters may be a hommage to King Kong, but a modern helicopter would have killed whatever-size giant in no-time.
Why is her blouse torn, but anything else unscathed? I don't mind those japanese style underwear shots, but in this case it takes much of her evilness away. And there's MUCH evilness in some women, either side of the dump...

[snowkiwi]

I had to rewrite this reply because the server was to busy and erased my original. And so, most of my original emotion is not in this reply.

To me you have come to a quality break-through, this and including your "The King's Fairy Catcher." The lighting glares/highlights and overall lighting is incredible. Your distortion and perspective are powerful. The aesthetics of the woman are spectacular especially around the belly button, underside of 'her' right leg, and the highlight and look of her forward protruding arm. The overall clarity balance of elements are in very high quality sync, which is far from the usual awful 3D look that in general most CG art are plagued with.
The color balance has great appeal and harmonious. Her dynamic facial emotion, body language, and wind blown hair do reinforce each other bring in so much power. This is one of my favorites. 'Monstrous' achievement Steven.

P.S. You said you got this idea while jogging. I believe it is the workings of your super-conscious imagination. By the way for anyone who cares, they come when your mind is most at peace.

[jariullah]

Salam
Hmm ... Steven! ... This peice is really an original one. I like it.. but .. isnt see a bit too PSYCO ??? And how did she get so big :shrug:

[mora]

Yep its a great picture, however the Buildings on the left look flat,most people said this already
but could it be our screen setting is different
Anyway,the biker reminds me of that Levi's double sticthed claymation comercial (with the bombastic music)

biker dude should now zoom,hit the brakes hard and launch himself straight for whats in front of im :love:

[shyy]

like always your work is amazing

[Tilstrom]

HAWT. Very Nice. :twisted:

[M.E.L.]

Excellent work man :thumbsup:

really hits home with the title of the picture haha :D

[Obi-Wan]

WOW, Great Work! http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
and very Sexy http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

[zilot]

Great work as always:thumbsup:

[peterpop88]

It's amazing where peoples motivation and inspiration comes from, at least something marvelous came out of the break up (sorry to hear about it)... personally I would of made her and UGLY evil bitch, whether she was good looking or not.

Top work! hope the new boyfriend electrifies himself on that stereo.

[jerry123]

i think youre breaking records here...you got,like,3 front pages in something like 2 weeks
i definately admire the hard work...im lazy...i have a front page every 2 years

i love that image,and i liked the last one with tha cat and mouse a lot...the cat and mose
image had a very destinct border where u can seperate the 3d from the painting,but maybe
it doesnt show as much and it bothers only me....but it shows a lot less in that image
so thats good(but maybe its because it has less"paint"on it),but since you have managed
to refine certain things to perfection,i think that transition between 3d and paint should
be refined,the 3d is a bit too clean and fine and it sticks out of the painting...but its very
fine,almost unnoticeable

i love this image thogh,very amusing,it can work both ways,my bf dumped me for someone
els,and bothered to show up with her everywhere i was too....in that case,i wish i was the
huge woman and he was that tiny guy down there and i whould rip his evil ass apart:)

seriously now,as for the image itself,the first thing that poped was her bra,it doesnt look
right,it doesnt look like its tight on the flesh,unlike the panty line which looks very
convincing...theres this dark space between the fabric and her breasts,it shows a lot less
on the open gl image,so most of it must be the lighting,there are no highlights there
either,looks very flat,unlike the open gl image where you can see the bodys shape,like,
the line from under the armpit that defines the shape of the breast and the depression
between the breasts,its all compleatly flat in the light,so maybe thats why the bra doesnt
look right,i dont know...i love the details around the weists thogh...

[grafi]

Hey Stahlberg! You rock! Two great images in the same week.
Awsome stuff.
keep it up.:thumbsup:

[Leydecker]

Hi Mr. Stahlberg,

the inspiring parts of your girlfriend(s) allways made me envious.
Having collected pretty much every snippet of your work published
online I can say without any hesistation - the anatomy, proportions
and also the beauty of your girls is simply top notch. sexy as well.

No crits there. Still, I have some suggestions you may find useful.

It´s mostly regarding the texturing and to some degree the lighting.
Every element has a beautiful shading, there´s rimlights, trillions
of little windowlights and some neon uring it´s shine on everything.

It´s simply a bit too much to direct focus on the girl. she doesn´t
stand out, she is lost between the backroundelements screaming for
attention. There´s too uch ambient and not enough difference between
foreground and "backroundplate".

After all, it´s about the girl going to crush the bike (and the boy), isn´t it?

One area that misleads me most is the lower part of the image, between
the parking deck and her knees and ankles (where´s her right ankle?).
To much light there - too much detail. I´d try to concentrate a bit
more on her slip and have the sourounding area drop off into shadow more...

Lighting her more like a boyscout w/flashlight at "Camp Frightnight", probably.

To sum it up, every element looks good but they rival for attention.
Due to their proportions and lighting they look a slight bit too selfish
to make the backround come together.

Cheers

tim

P.S: Thanks for this image, I learn alot. More than I can accomplish (ever).

[CADster]

Very cool pic. I like the voyeuristic with the bike looking straight at the girls underwear. :-)

right along with most of us :D

excellent work ... very sexy.

[RandalGreen]

lol, I dont know what to say really, but you did a good job pulling it off.

[nathanwallis]

never had a psyhco girlfriend......but looks cool all the same!!

[nathanwallis]

lol, I dont know what to say really, but you did a good job pulling it off. isn't that a talent every male posseses!!

[Hotdawg]

Wow. Another upskirt. How original.

[zukezuko]

i got something to say too : nice!






nice ass too.... :)

[gorgaar]

Awesome work there!

You should defenenetly try to make an animation of this one!
There are actualy peopele out there dying by trying to make a realitsic animation of a rampaging giantess.Somone should realy help them out with this!!!

please take the time and check it out at the poser clip section of this forum:

I like the stylized way you made this image, I Like work which doenst look so realistic.

[dihe]

very good.

[MRAY]

Great work!!
Another fine piece!

-Mray-

[Ramtin]

Wow , I am wonderin for idea !!?
:D

[Kanga]

Nice stuff!

The figure looks like a cut out thats pasted in. I cant tell if its the lighting or composition. The thumb on the front page has more power somehow.

Beautiful modeling and joint deformation.

[send2raj]

:applause: Excellent work as always.....i luv the girl:bounce: .

[alister]

great job, that man doesn't seem to be afraid at all.

[AndHolzmeister]

amazing steven... very well lit too!

[spazz[pp2]]

aaah! :scream: Stahlberg has his coming back - as I can see! :) Great! :bounce:

[cadavatar]

It's funny what people can come up with when properly motivated.

Great image. It would sell as a poster for sure.

[NauticaC]

Awesome! I love the hair and the city scene that you captured as a whole. That motorcyle driver must be really scared to see his ex girlfriend that big!

[red_com]

I`m so glad to see a great job like that, and i really need years to complete a work as it, i´m so honest. But, this is a forum, and i want to make a question to all you.
Do you not think that girl`s breast needs more volume?...I mean, I think her breast need more shadow couse it seems to be flat, or not?
That´s an observation, and I glad someone answer me.-

Again, I want to remark that it is a great job, and the idea is just too original...
red_com.-

[XRAYCHN]

I wonder..........does the man want to kill the girl over there? Oh ~~No....what a nice girl she is, please do not kill her! :thumbsup: ..anyway! Great work. I like this style!

[tlggungor]

PERFECTO :) :thumbsup:

[adel3d]

Hi Steven,
WOo ! Excellent work . You chose a good perspective for the image.
Also wonderful lighting.good luck Man....:buttrock:

[Luciferul]

Great job. Everything looks neat...except the eyes. I dont know what's wrong but is something "odd" with tham.

[blackoz]

it's amazing...
i love ur work...

[OzzyCat]

It´s mostly regarding the texturing and to some degree the lighting.

Totally disagree. The girl is perfectly clear. She's the focal point without a doubt and does not fall behind in the glimmer of the lights. The image is striking BECAUSE of the lights. Without the light's all over the buildings, it wouldn't feel like the city it is supposed to be!

Most of us have experienced that certain special someone turning into someone somewhat less than special, I think... for me it was a girlfriend who dumped me, then came back with her new boyfriend and walked off with my stereo... :)

She didn't take my Stereo, but she did take 100 bux; and that money could have bought a nice stereo:(

[MARTSMONDE]

:eek: whaou !!! exellent work
:love: girl

[MARTSMONDE]

Wahou god job:eek::thumbsup:
:love:girl

[oliviercampagne]

one word : superb

[dif2find]

Now that one babe on the rampage.... :)... real nice facial expression....like it...

great work....

[ladyannika]

Oddly Enough i know how she feels lol But that aside I really am impressed withthe POV and the Scale of the main character. The Lighting is wonderful and gives it just the right mood!

[Mindgem]

Now THATS an artpiece I like to see the reference pics of.

[hippie]

Hah, really cool scene. When I saw it, I immediatly tought of "Attack of 50 ft. woman", so you did capture that feeling quite well. Great job.

[exnihilo]

Her face, size, and expression convey so much. Kudos on this work of art.

[jeffely]

crazy!! i like

[el-coachi]

very nice and sexy i like it ; but i think the compositing need mmore work
but it still a great idea congratulation:buttrock:

[Skyraider3D]

she's green because she uses a sss shader with nodes not recognised by the native Maya renderer
Funny that! My initial thought was that she should be green and be the Hulk's ex girlfriend! :D
Great perspective and overall nice image. Now how about a 2D version of it? ;)

I can kinda figure why this girl is so angry... Her (ex-)boyfriend prolly mentioned she had a very big ... :p

[CelticSpiral]

I have to say I Love the lower right (from the viewers perspective) Thigh/Calf that is scrunched up into the plaza level of the bulding. - The way the light is patterned and constricted in direct combination with her constricted, fatty, joint structure. It's just an exquisite, sensual, visual metaphor for the confusion and anger in this creature.

I love it when unique details like this mesh with the overal feeling of the subject matter. Especially, like in this case when they seem hidden until further introspection and it's like- picking a Strawberry in a field after searching for it.

You know, I think the trick here may be the Realistic detail on the pavement in the foreground which leads the eye into seeking out more information in the depths of the picture which may have a higher degree of artistic license.

I've got to REMEMBER this thigh and the possible tactical visual techniques he has employed.

[insnowflakes]

Beautiful, sexy, and provocative... simply amazing.:thumbsup:

[lynch]

its cool BUT i dont like her expression take away the enire scene an she looks like super model type fake agressiveness for a photo shoot i know you can do better than that .Maybe she should show more agression in the bikers direction ,cause it looks like she is threating him to a view of her goods rather than trying to come over that rail

overall good composition and pleasing to the eye, but i think you painted skin texture is better

[Djampa]

Well well..., always a delight to see your work!

Thank you!

[sekopasa]

Hmm, i wouldn't want to be in the place of motorized man,
what i'm saying i would ofcourse want, the best way a man can die. :love:

[fluids]

that boy needs to turn his bike around!!

[Arctis]

Great modeling : the way you light your scenes is very recognizable.
Good job !

[-Zen-]

Great work :thumbsup:

Thank god you didn't put that king kong thing in there.

[pearl3d]

really amazing - i always love your work steven ...

:applause:

[Aquamarine]

that is awesome...wonderful work! very funny. i sure wouldn't want a girlfriend like that!

[ynlay]

big big big girl,I like it

[diocletian9]

Fantastic "Golden age of Sci-Fi" type image. Brilliantly executed.

I was particulary impressed with the armpit (very difficult, so few seem to get it right) and the wrinkled nose.

[Juun1985]

love the idea, but the building on the right seems a bit too dark and her expression needs to be a bit more angry. But apart from that it's great. Wouldn't want to be running in to her any time soon.

[dannyfalch]

HI Steven

Nice work!
You have to be more carefull choosing your girlfrinds.
:)

[Marcus_B]

love the image dude, the model is great. the only thing is i wouldn't runaway from her :eek:

[Morlockis]

the building in the front/right is flattening out a bit. 2 soild of black.

i really love the city and the mix of the painting and 3d is awesome!

[kuma cub]

This blows me away, I am new to 3D having only dabled in the past. And it is this sort of thing that gives me the energy and inspiration to learn and practice as much as i can, i find this model to be full of personality, probably due to the fantastic pose. And the model is great sort of softened features and slightly to perfect, yet instead of being sterile it is full of feeling and energy. :thumbsup: and clever idea behind it to...

I have a couple of questions rather than a crit, how did you begin? and do your 2d works use some sort of 3d models as reference , or for to reword for this piece how do you plan this scene, loose sketches, detailed, scribble and jump in? (i will scour cgtalk for this info)

After seeing this i searched through the forum fro more of your work, and they are all mind blowing. :thumbsup:

I am currently churning through tutorials in the hope that i can create work of this standard one day (i know high standards but you have to aim for the top ) hoping to put up my first WIP soon, but long journey to go....

thanks for inspiration

[Stahlberg]

Thanks everyone! :)
kuma cub, this started with an idea I had while jogging at night, looking at some tall buildings in the distance. I drew a sketch as soon as I got back home, then created the 3d by building the city bits, importing the vehicles, and using the 3d character I already have. I also tried to find some reference for the pose, but it's so unusual that didn't work out very well. I had some problems with Mental Ray rendering and a file that got corrupted at saving, but I worked it out.
And yes, I do also sometimes use my 3d character like illustrators would use that old wooden poser doll in the past, for reference. I recently started doing that (for instance in my 2 latest 2d paintings posted here), and I plan to try to do more of this.

[wampir]

:love: :eek: love you very very good

[kuma cub]

Steven
Thanks for the info. Excercise, when one can do any, is great place for inspiration to come to you. And the pose is very expressive, i love it.

[Lysander]

Shes pretty hot for a giant monster too ;)

[mauriciogolin]

her art has a great impact, very expressive my congratulations

[Lifthz]

Awesome image man. I know how certain females could get. :)

Wow for the First time I`ll be the first one..
Us usual I love it. If I can crit , I wold add some smal iluminations on the building on the right. It looks flat a bit, but other than that - GREAT!
Q

It seems he was trying to go for the flat feel.

[ByteDreams]

Hi Steve! ByteDreams here! ol friend.
The pict is great! love the action. one thing I note though, and I only take the liberty cuz I know how detailed you like your stuff to be.. the building she is grabbing onto - looks like a flesh wound. Was that intentional? I don't see any debrie falling so made me wonder.

Anyways, you still are the master of my 3D heart, buddy!

ByteDreams

[rAta]

Good job.. the onlyone thing i didn´t like were the clouds.. but the rest is good!! :thumbsup:

[Capn_Camo]

Hey dude,

Seriously cool image. I love the idea and the way you've set up the shot. It's almost dreamlike. My only crit is of the buildings in the back to the left.... they just need to be sharpened up a bit. At the moment they look a little bit like flat planes. Other than that, rock on! :buttrock:

[bahamuts]

Great work steven , keep on the good work

[unwindyoursoul]

:thumbsup: Gr8 work man........... :bounce:

[Rambiert]

I really like this image. Tiny guy with big d... and beautifull cult bike.
Her reaction is rather standard than psycho.

Hehe

[goktugg]

[ashen]

[CaesarDimxes]

[Nedim_S]

Excellent. But she isn't looking at him on the bike I think. Try to fix it on him.

[mehsan]

[EstudioManga]

Wow man!! Amazing work and idea as well.

[Terro]

Asolutely speechless jawdropping. I love the tension of the mood depicted here. This woman is sexy and her size really shows of her power when shes in rage.

[hertzchim]

14 pages!

wow, so to help me out without forcing me to trawl through the whole thing ... did the sexy pixel debate point I raised on page one of this lovely thread get discussed in any way, shape or form? With sexy images, does it matter if the final pixel is a pixel of a real 'object of desire' or a rendered 'object of desire -- I mean, in the long run, is there any differentiation between a sexy pixel and a sexy pixel? Especially when artists like Stahlberg are so adept at rendering the emotion of their rendered creations.
