Amazing work man
i believe the cloud could be better
nice work

[RedHerring]

fantastic, zero crits from me.

[Lilie]

Vraiment super. Avant même de lire la description j'ai pu reconnaitre la touche ''Tim Burton''; tu as vraiment bien réussi à la reproduire en t'en inspirant. Et les couleurs avec la lune laiteuse donne tellement d'atmosphère. Vraiment, chapeau. J'adore. :)

[turtle-rn]

Great job and nice concept indeed! I especially like the lower half of the pic, it's brilliantly executed.

[Sim-R]

Made me smile.good idea.I like it a lot and it is well painted.The only crit would be the size of the girl to the house and the swing,But because it is whimsical and cartoonish i think you can get away with it.

[食物恶心]

I see that you enjoy this little story... Thanks again.

KYK>>Je note ta remarque pour le mur.
Merci, en tout cas j'avais déjà vu ton robot cariste et j'aime beaucoup ce style tout en rondeur (ça m'fait bien délirer, tu n'as pas un p'tit site?)

wow... very nice.
Excellent idea.
I love the atmosphere.

great work
:applause:

[Loulu79]

C'est ca bon! Tres superb pour en composion! I hope I got my french right...I have no 'french keyboard' for the acents though (heeheee:D ) Even though I see it was meant for a gloomy Tim Burton look...the feeling I get for this is cheery...That sea monster reminds me of Disney's Pete's Dragon somehow...I love the warm and gently done lighing 'effects'. Even though the clouds don't render that much detail...it isn't a necesity for this piece....!


Je l'adore!!!:love:

[anespark]

I love this!

[Idril]

I like that misty look and the pipeline hangs out! Great! :thumbsup: The lighting is very good too, the light-shadow effects are in the right place :) Keep it up! :applause:

[olive2d]

Thanks everybody!
That's my first CGTALK award...I am very proud!
Thank yooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Vormav>> your question was " How long did that tree take you, btw? ": for the tree it takes me arround 10 or 15 minutes (I used the basic leaf brush from Photoshop) but I spent 5 hours to draw all the picture.

DaPrado>> Thanks again...I 'am gamedesigner in Lexis Numérique ( It'a french studio near Paris) It's not big and I am Gamedesigner, Concept artist and Art Director Project ...oupf...
It's a very interesting job.

Paratron>> Yes That's it!! it's a Sea-Snail ! it's a new animal, it's a very very friendly animal!

[DavidRyan]

It's very good !I'am a Chinese boy Study in Chian Academy Of Art~~~~~

[MrGrinch]

Lovely image, very well executed. :) I particularly like the plumbing poking through the bottom of the cliff, an amusing little detail.

[brilopad]

Fantastic image. Nothing wrong with the scale of the swing or the house. But the water droplets arent needed and too big. Great lighting and moonlight. Keep it up. Keep smiling. ;)

[Sollesnes]

It's beautiful, everything. I love it!

[Ismail]

Made me smile. Thanks for sharing. :)

so poetic and nice picture, congratulations, you should find a writer to work on a book, now...

[ErwinM]

Beautiful painting! I like the gradation of color and light in the sky and on the creature. Great bounce lighting too.

[Bungalo]

Not only cool it is as also sweet and kind.
Excellent work! :applause:

[birdybear]

This is such a beautiful piece of artwork. It is is so inspiring. Beautiful lighting, mood... it's just so great. It has such story. I think it would be a wonderful in a book, especially for children in grade school. Whoa and WOW! :eek:

[armocelu]

If this were for Tim Burton i think he'll be pleased

Lovely athmosphere and composition :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Tawneycocker]

Very nice the atmosphere is quite intriguing perhaps if we could see more of the friend but then in SIFI flicks in my day you never got to see the face of the gentle giant untill the end when the (adult) humans invaribly tried to do the poor fellow in. It draws you in and welcomes you to partake of the relationship. The optomists amongst us wish for safety for them both. nice work.. Tawneycocker

It Is Beautiful

[claudiasutton]

This piece is absolutely beautiful. Bravo.

[ramy]

good job! When I was looking through all of the other thumbnails I was thinking "not many of these renderings use rich blues and purples...then I came across this one!" well done.

[SanXavier]

I love the colors and storytelling!!! Great job!!!

[wailssss]

:thumbsup: l like it so much:love:

[Sovica]

Adorable!

I love it =)

[AztcFireFlower]

This is just one of the most beautiful and whimsical paintings I've ever seen. This one piece has become a permanent incredible example, for me, of character, design, environment, and most importantly MOOD. I just love looking at it. The whole concept behind it is so sweet and exquisitly presented. You have, not only, experience in painting and color design, but a wonderful talent for creating such interesting imagery that has also much rich history in the story. I so, want to explore their relationship, how they met, who is in who's world.........
You. I will learn much from. Most inspiring.
