Hi, this image is about poseidon the god of the sea, i'm trying to be more realistic about how a creature like that would actually be in case that it ever existed.
this is the start of the very rough squetch.

adding more detail in the character to give an idea of how detailed this piece will be

[contempogaleria]

Thanks,

here is another color update, i fixed the neck and added mre detail here an there, up to now i haven't been able to work on ths image as much as i would like but i hope soon i get more time to spare working in this image, i'm really enjoing it....:D.

coments are wellcome.

[Falcorr]

Hmmm there seems to be some issues with the scale.

Somehow i keep thinking of toy boat. That ship doesnt hold mass enough.

Check out that wave structure you have there. It really looks like smaller waves just gone bigger. Think of how water reacts when the amount increases a lot.

Good luck!

[contempogaleria]

Thanks for your reply Falcor_ i agree with you the water looks weird is the first time i do an image with water involved so your feed back really helps me, the water isn't finished and is really good time to get all this helpful comments.
Thanks,

K Guevara.

Cool, as I said! Cool water, cool underwater dude, cool ship and cool expectations. I suggest to smooth the crossing between the upper plane of water and the depths, because the contrast is not creating much translucency. In rest, good luck and may the ship oversees the trap that stands in its passage. Ahoy, matey!http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/icons/icon10.gif

[OrO]

oh my God!!! the water looks cooll..it looks so realistic..congradulations...wow.wow..wow..have to work on the creature more..but it looks so cool..:)

[SquishMe]

Really nice picture. The waves are great, as is the lighting. I just wanted to say, it would be nice if there were more "caustics" in the water, particularly on poseidon himself.

Keep up the good work.

Hello, it's been a while since my last update, i have been crazy busy, but here it is, an update i made the waves look smaller, and adedd more detail to the ship and poseidon face i'm giving him characteristics like an under whater creature would have like the eyes and such.
Thanks alot for your comments and support.

SquishMe about the caustics i'll add them closer to the end...:D thanks,

Hello i have been away for a while, got pretty busy at work and some other stuff came up...:(, well hope i can finish on time, here is an update.

[contempogaleria]

Here is another update, it's been a long weekend and i have made some major changes in the composition and over all.

[contempogaleria]

sorry i had to make some changes to the image here is the updated one.

[patina]

hi kray

Nice idea, and execution, I would fade the waves more at the top where it meets the underwater, and make the claws sharper more evil. Nice work, look forward to finished image

My Spec

[ashen]

I like the new evil-eyes of the monster, so is the hidden big guy in the back. The added ship on top is a nice touch; it could be temporary, but please consider alter the form/shape of one of it so they don't appear to be duplication of each other. The sandy scaling on the monster's chest really helps it fitting into the randomness of the environment much better! Keep the good work going~

[NinjaA55N]

Great pic, nice updates. I have only one suggestion if I may. We could aslo see some of the closest ship under the water as well. I think its close enough so that would be possible and filling that part of the pic there would bring a nice touch to the whole composition. And in addition to that it would also be nice connecting the upper world with the sub one. and I think this will ba a nice way to do so. good luck!

Hi first of all thanks for you'r replys and support, i had to make a very diffcult desition, the image wasn't really working, i liked the wather part by it self and the under wather by it self too, so i made the desition of cut them and keeping just the under wather since thats where most of the action is happening, please let me know what you guys think, was the change for good? does it helps the image? i think so but i would really want to know what you guys think.
Thanks again for the replies.

[NinjaA55N]

works just fine this way also :) maybe even better coz now there is clear whats the main interest in the picture.

[ashen]

I like it a lot, the wave on top looks in motion and brings the whole composition together!
