Awesome. Love everything about it. Congrats

[leftyfallat]

Fantastic all around!*****

[angel]

very cool. congrats man.

-å

[ODoul]

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

[ThirdEye]

Fantastic image, probably my favourite 3D entry, it reminds me a bit of the cover of the Issues cd by Korn. [plugged]

[-Vormav-]

That's awesome, reiv. The orphan character looks great. And there's a lot of style to the render. One of the few pieces where I can't find anything to point out. :)

[chenga]

I love it! It tells so much....5 stars from me :thumbsup:

[MSB]

wow man
really great work 5 stars

[mehdianim]

Wow VEry good work ! Reminds me of an exgirlfriend I had Haha.

[Darktwin]

I really like this alot, the stylization, color, mood, everything is working together nicely, great job.

[furyk]

Superbe composition. 5 etoiles....

Furyk

[hologlyphic]

absolutely spectacular. i love the fresh idea, and the expression on the teddy bear's face.. it's all so magically sadistic.. well done :nod:

[samartin]

Fantastic work throughout, reminds me of a dark TIN TOY which is no bad thing :D

[Levitateme]

i can't believe you didn't win the challenge...

[AlyFell]

Olivier, this was definitely one of my favourites in the 3D. Great story, lighting, chracterisation and a fantastic gothic feel to it! Congratulations!

[KaDDD]

superbe illustration , tres belle etalonnage! !l'ambiance est dark à souhait , mais reste coloré
arf , pov 'ptit nourson! ! !qu'est ce qui va prendre ! ! !

[Trenox]

This picture should have won (from looking at the winners - didnt see all entries :] ).

[loocas]

Very nice with deep atmosphere! I like it a lot :thumbsup: http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_5.gif from me! :buttrock:

[embodiedform]

Its a shame you didn't get your piece in on time- you would have placed high for sure! Stunningly cool work- reminds me of American McGee's Alice

[vravro]

This is great work. I like the expression on the girl's face. Love the boots, and the entire design really works well!

I just went through your challenge thread and really enjoyed it. I think the lighting is better in this picture:

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6155/6155_1114880162_large.jpg

But that's just my opinion. I like the rusty feeling, and the colors have a more dynamic/animated presence. But the latest one is just as good.

Great job!

EDIT: Another thing I like better in the picture I posted is the floor and the reflections. I also prefer the normal reflection over the squiggly one. But these are only my opinions! The latest render works best in mimicking a drawing.

Did you do a lot of post-color-correction on the pic?

[Lalie]

My favorite (as a lot of people) of the 3d part... Creativity must not be servant of technic!

Gratz! :thumbsup:

[lazzhar]

Really amazing job man. 5 Stars !


Bon courage.

[reiv]

Thanks a lot guys for tour comments :)
vavro: Indeed I do color corrections on post prod. I add a slight noise, sharpen filter, modify the saturation and also my favourite filter : color balance :), which is quite important in this picture.

[Hiha_Psychose]

I love your image. The details are amazing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE :thumbsup:

[penartist26]

Like Tim Burton Style - Love It !!

[_-_twiggy_-_]

This is hot man! ... theres so much to stare at and it get those synapses goin .. gr8 s*** :D

[karakoram]

Congratulations on an amazing piece. I love your controlled use of colour, it makes the image very atmospheric. Can't believe it didn't win overall! :shrug:

[AndyWhiteley]

Very Nice. I am always partial to a bit of gothic style.

[mindrot]

:thumbsup: WOW!! Love this. Great style...

5/5 from me

[DjinnShadows]

Fabuleux !
I love your colors and style very good work dude !
12 stars :buttrock:... ok ok then 5 only

[Stahlberg]

I love it too. It was one of the two best 3d entries in the challenge. True art... technical mastery, candy to the eyes, makes the mind spin with original thoughts.

To me the story looks like there's been a war between two teddy-bear armies, with the little girl as leader of one of them. (Perhaps the evil one?) There's one single surviving "good" teddy-bear, and one of the evil ones is pointing it out to its leader. "There, Master, there he is! Kill him now!"

[pangman]

awww, this is awsome, what a super job. the thing that sets the picture off into the next atmosphere is the teddy bear on the other side of the pillar. WOW! awsome!

[ssj5rafael]

:applause: GREAT!!!
NICE JOB!!!
verry good man!
bye!:bounce:

[regarded warrior]

awesome idea and great execution!

[ashrumm]

Awesome piece I love the composition the story you are presenting and the color pallette really sets the mood of this piece, Like Stahlberg i too thought this was one of the three top in the challenge. tre tre beau....:)

[Lunatique]

Your entry is one of my favorite--probably my favorite 3D entry. So charming and wicked at the same time.

[luima]

i like that kind of wicked style, very good work!!

[overcontrast]

this rocks like always... i knew this is gonna be in the top of the chart!!... very well done mate :thumbsup: :bowdown:

[serinth]

You can actually feel the sorrow & suffering of the teddy bears ... & the cruelty of this emotionless orphan girl ! excellent color scheme!

i think you achieved what you wanted to create perfectly ! never ceased to be amazed & inspired by your amazing work! well deserved runner-up !:thumbsup:

[Kyena]

I hardly ever check out the 3D forum - mainly because I don't understand anything of 3D and that makes me kind of unable to comment on those works.

But this - this is pure eye candy. I totally adore the Tim Burton feel to this. The colors make it so alive and wicked and it's just...awesome all together.

[Jdgill]

Wow....great scene! I think it looks awesome. I also loved the article in 3D World Magazine

[antodonnell]

great use of color, the design of the main character and bears are sweet!
All in all you captured a really nice atmosphere in this image well done

[chillnlikeamug]

I really believe this image is the true winner of the contest. No doubt Krishnamurti M. Costa, Author of www.antropus.com, deserves all the respect of being a truly great artist, but this image envokes more emotion and is more thoughtfully deliverd with a much deeper back story. Glad to see this image found it's way to the front pages of CGTalk.com.

Stalhbergs take on the piece is fantastic but for some reason I saw it exactly as described by the artist. I might have got it right away because I can remember what it was like to be a child with a dark mind and a vivid imagination (GI-Joes and fircrackers). That memory is easily conjured here. Excellent work reiv.

[r3mix]

Oh man, simply beautiful. Nice work. No crits from me. :)

[Remi]

WTF man...you made me feel sorry for a teddybear....great image. Really drew out the emotions with the composition. Great!!!

[Sunce1971]

How wonderful work this is. COngratulations for the fronty pagy.
Excellent work.

[Kragh]

AWESOME....sorry for not being more specific, in a hurry....5 stars

[geo5sf]

great piece... I would love to see an animated short of this.. especially the torturing of the teddy bears....

[7Stones]

She is such a wonderfully wicked little angel in a wonderfully twisted scene. I love it.

Beautifully done. :thumbsup:

Really tells a story with great modeling, composition, lighting, color, etc.

[zzzak]

this image is incredible,,, thanks so much for creating such a piece of art! every time i look at it, i become completely lost in this fantastic world you've created :)

[jammin]

makes me shiver -i love it!

(is this what the sadistic brat's sister in Toy Story turned out to be?)

[Hana-chan]

:: stares in amazment:: :love:

[IvanPA]

It is a fantastic work, I like the design, the model one, the textures, the colors, the composition, and the lighting, is a teacher's work. I like much, congratulation.

[teknotek83]

One of my favorite entries within the entire challenge! The character design is phenomenal (kind of Tim Burton-esque), the atmosphere is well pronounced, and the [injured] teddy bear is so damn cute!! http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/love.gif

[jsolmos]

Hi Olivier

I have been a long time admirer of your work. This latest piece is simply amazing! Very nice atmosphere and composition. I particularly like the design of the main character and her clothing. The background almost looks 2d and was used as a backdrop as a result of compositing. Again - very good work.

[Spin99]

I'm a big fan of this image.
It just blows me away.
I had to look a few times to believe it was 3D.

Incredible how textures and lighting are so good, it all fits together that well.
And the textures are just incredible. Love the hanging sheets and the teddies.
The colour creates such a strong mood it just heightens the drama.
It must be the complimentaries and triads playing their role.

And the whole goth decandent thing is just.. beyond words.
I better stop now :)
Just one thing I'm not too sure about - that's the bleeding teddies.
Only thing I'd really contest. Maybe a little too far on the dark side?

I have one question? Is there a lot of post work?
Congrats on the challenge it's fully deserved.
***** stars from me :)

[Tilstrom]

excellent work man, the concept and design is brilliant. well done. :twisted:

[jugeras]

[Hanz2710]

WOW!


Reminds me of a computergame I once played, "American McGee's Alice", which was like a dark & twisted Alice in Wonderland type environment. You caputered some of the same with this one.

1000 x :thumbsup: ...!

[Amilton Diesel]

Man, this is absolutely amazing. Is dark, creepy, gloomy, Tim Burton, and soft at the same time

[ukcatintexas]

Very nice work. I just love the color scheme and of course, the lighting and texturing. It almost has an Alice and Wonderland type of school to it. I just think that it is awesome.
