Title: The Journey Begins
Name: Bjorn Norberg
Country: Sweden
Software: CINEMA 4D, Photoshop

Did this for the journey begins challenge.
Tried to illustrate the theme as well as possible so that an explaining text woudnīt be nessecary.

Hey Norberg. Congrats with this man, your entry's probably the most realistic render in the challenge. A nitpick on my side would be that guy holding that emblem thingy in the background's got some chicken legs going on with his proportion. Goodluck man. :)

Really nice work! I agree on the chicken legs thing but other than that no crits. Is it me or does the main characters resemble Clint Eastwood a little *shrugs*.

Great work good luck in the competition.

i was going to say the same thing about him looking like Clint Eastwood haha

I like it, it is very realistic, nice smooth rendering... i cant find anything to crit other than the "chicken legs" which has already been pointed out so, Very good job!!

I think it's fantastic that you are doing what the contest asked for - which was to state the story in the image, instead of having to type up something to explain. Great job there, becuase this one is clear, and well rendered besides!

I really like the atmospheric perspective. It lends it a real sense of scale, and it is the scale that gives its story its grandness and dramatic clout. Good job.

Hi Bjorn, I was following all the process during the journey challenge. Itīs incredible especially when the theme is something hitorical such as Rome.

Congrats
Gus

This is absolutely stunning work. I too would love to see some wireframes for this image. There is so much emotion in the characters. The image really does make you want to find out more about them and where they are off to. Excellent work mate, I wish you luck in the competition.

Thanks alot guys!

Chickenlegs? No, he is just heavybuild from all that walking:) ( I see what you meen)
Itīs only an untextured model of the arch that is done in 3D so I donīt think a wireframe would be that interesting. The pic is painted with the default brushes in PS.
Hereīs the wip: http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/journey_begins/entry.php?challenger=10765
