[shrinkingviolet]

brilliant render...absolutely love the modeling.

the pipe and the honey bee comb are very original and the rest well rather leaves me dumbfounded.

imho, the lighting could be reworked a lillte wee bit (esp. near his nose...the specularity could be tweaked slightly) nevertheless the image is visually stunning. classique. :thumbsup:

[Almacan]

Hi, everybody! Thank you for all comments.:)
I completed this work for about three months (weekend only).
Insects were combined like a jigsaw puzzle......
I was perplexed to the composition for a long time. and....Insects creeping in my head.
Sorry for my English.

[neofg]

Very very great job!
Go on so man... This render have passion in it!

[.:ZRDwD:.]

That's pretty bad-ass of a puzzle you got there. Love the intricate details of the bugs making out the face. I'm having a tough time, though, with the textures, mainly around the nose/mouth/chin region. For some reason, it does not appear to be of an insect origin, but of rock. I may be thinking, because of the illusion, this area doesn't have enough different textures unlike the rest of the piece. The texture is too "consistent" there, perhaps?

Oh, what do I know? I'm no 3D modeler. I think on a 2D plane. :)

Great job.

[Hiha_Psychose]

Amazing work man. Its very nice mod, texture and render.

6 stars of me if I could. :applause:

[Barf_cg]

Whoa. No further comment. :applause:

WICKED!!

[shadi]

[ipdesigner]

[BGX]

Amazing composition of the bugs :)! Really nice and detailed work.What I can say… for me it is perfect!
:thumbsup:

[misho_st]

Man.... This is an unbelievable work.
The only critique I can think of is that the grasshoppers have a bit odd position in my opinion.
Otherwise it is astonishing! :thumbsup:

[Branko]

Fan-f'ing-tastic! I love the use of the almost fully monochromatic palet. Very haunting.

[unicop]

wondeful specially textures and lighting go on

[yanfan]

nice job, the idea is great

[tienj]

well done on composition.. i like the shadowing..

:thumbsup:

[sacada]

Fastastic. A lot to look at. Brilliant work.

[hhssuu]

Great idea and really nice 3d work too. I love it.

[LEGC]

GREAT TEXTURES, LIGHTING AND ORIGINALITY. EXCELLENT WORK, I LOVE IT :applause:

[lode]

wonderful idea:thumbsup:

[Sollesnes]

Very nice rendering and lighting and amazing modeling. Love it.

[Lifthz]

extraordinary!

My one and only critic/tought is that it would be interesting to see the same image with multicolored bugs.

[kharondroid]

Good job,nice style...

[kuma cub]

Awesome work, great modelling, love the original and horrific concept. I really like the rendering, wouldnt mind seeing a version with coloured bugs bursting out of real flesh, although that may be a bit yuck. phenomanal

[Ramon]

Yeah! I like it! Very unique! I like the details, the original idea and the color grading.
Nice!:thumbsup:

[Capn_Camo]

Thank you for many comments!:)

(about comments of color......)
I'm not good at using color.
My works are almost monochromatic images.
I'll try to using full color works some day!

i like the image very much. astonishing work, great sense of puting those animals together.
but what i like most is the thought of kafkas metamorphosis with arcimboldo:thumbsup:.
the image goes very deep (in my eyes:wise:), but - as others mentioned - try some colors.

[Ramon]

Thank you for many comments!:)

Kazuhiko, I really like the feel of those tones - and fantastic modeling! :)

[gra7]

wowww..

very detail works.
AMAZING !
c ya !

[no]

Nice work I love the details in your image!

[Djampa]

Amazing work.

You did a great job, astonishing quality.
Artistically it is very creative and your inspiration was a good taste choice.

Congratz,

[JJ1723]

This is MC Escher on drugs! WOW!

[raywatra]

I'm so excited..:applause:

[carlosvk]

I like the integration of these two point of inspiration, an Artist and a Writer. CG is a metamorphosis itself.

Carlos.

[brentlydavis]

Your work Scares me But I like it

[sivan.animator]

Good work ! I think you can do more than this I feel rendering is quite good, Still you can do you it better in the specular, reflections Keep it up !!!

[watercolormark]

greate work! incredible.

[Mituhide]

Is this image really done by "Shade"??
I like your monochrome images(I saw your another image in 3dtotal)
I don't remember "Giuseppe Arcimboldo" but perhaps someone who
depicted images useing fruits flower and insects something.

I just want to say complement for you :)

[tkoc]

Thanx for showing us your work. 5*

[Shunsuke]

Hi!

I really like it!

it's a very creativity work!

congratulations!

[penartist26]

whooooooooa!

[turner]

Could spend ages looking at it. Very intricate.

[bonestructure]

I'm not easily impressed, but damn! I would liked to have seen a bit more variation in textures, but not being familiar with the original source of inspiration, perhaps this is correct.

[Kuindgi]

fine! It super-super good!

[apeman]

excellent modelling technique. Quite personally i thought Kafka's metamorphosis was a weak work of literature; this artpiece does it more justice than it deserves quite frankly. Excellent job.

[Vurgral]

Love it, nice art work.
Im still a student but gonna choose 3d in my choice at school to make art like this

A Graphic Lyceum Amsterdam Student.

[intent]

awesome! :thumbsup: I've your texturing~

[genji2103]

mega top fun
i hope i ll able to do such a great work.
(so hatd to be just a student...sniff)

[priyan_k]

WOW beautiful,amazing designv :thumbsup:

[Almacan]

Thank you for being interested in the texture.:)

Some of original textures were made from the color ink.

These are the abstract arts that I made ten years ago.

Some are seen like the crack...

Sample of original textures

[ashen]

The piece has a grand feeling from the design view and the color pallete is simple yet not dull. The detail on the modeling is definitely top notch with nicly placed objects intersecting each other. Shows off a variety of elements, creative piece!

[FreshFish801]

The painting reminds me of Dali little bit. Dali did lots of stuff like that on his paintings. It looks really good. :applause: :bounce: :applause: :thumbsup: :applause: :applause:

[Cloudcatcher]

Wow. Really awesome work. Both inspired and inspiring. Excellent work, Almacan!:thumbsup:

cool stuff!:thumbsup:

[neilyb]

Unbelievable, the skull (a minor detail) adds the Giger-ness I love in this image.

[remcv8]

Wow your work to me is similar to Meats Meir, but with more natural elements. I love your work!

[costas]

impressive:applause::applause:

[Tawneycocker]

I have always been intrigued by the double entante or pun or metamprphosis if you will of an idea. Then too I have been a fan of the word picture as a communication device. the use of the insects as the body and perhaps the soul of the man creature tells us more than just "mere words". Using the second segment of the beatle to represent the eye is sheer Kismet. the leather like carapase of the skin was novel seeing as how every thing else was so hard edged . thus you gave us a soft yet hard body. and while the insects looked rather busy the man was quite layed back. Therefore you gave us a metamorphos of opposites. the ying and yang as it were well done. Yours in art Tawneycocker

[jenn-yu]

incredible!! i just can say: WooooooooooooW! u got great imagination! i should learn from you:love:

[f1engine]

you done a great job here. maybe you could share some know how on this one i'm a newbie herehttp://www.cgnetworks.com/gallerycrits/152892/152892_1111374040_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/gallerycrits/152892/152892_1111374040.jpg)[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] :bounce:

Title: Metamorphosis
Name: Kazuhiko Nakamura
Country: Japan
Software: (Other)

I tried the illusionism like the picture of "Giuseppe Arcimboldo".
The motif of this image is Kafka's novel "Metamorphosis".
Modeled and rendered in Shade and textures in Photoshop.
Comments and critics are welcome!

[minufx]

wonderfull mood and impressiv and fascinating composition

[jonins]

WOW! :eek:

[andy_79b]

Awesome work mate :)

:buttrock:

Kafkaèsque. Very strong atmosphere. And a real modern ad comparated to Archimboldo.
Really happy to descover your art, it's my dope.
Congrats.
:bowdown:

[arizaga]

This is art! Anything else is nothing. You are great man. I like your vision, your style

[elreydelbarrio]

The concept is very twisted and interesting. I just can't stop looking at it. I think, Kafka would be very moved with your version. Thanks for the inspiration.

[jkuy]

Great color skeem is great. Keep up the good work

[Aznguy]

excellent details and lighting to go with the extraordinary backdrop in it's entirely, if you have not posted wireframe will you please post it :)

keep up the awesome job that your doing
