I like the perspective and how you framed the image with foliage. It is really like the viewer is hiding to watch what is going on in this secret place. Marvellous mystical atmosphere here. :thumbsup: ***** Britta

*****.....

[dchan]

omg! stunning pieace. great dept and light and the atmosphere is perfect. nice texture work.

[jsgknight]

This is fantastic, the color pallet, the depth, and the anticipation of a secret gathering. I am sure it will be on the front page later today. Is there anyway we can see the basic 3D mesh from Wings without buying the magazine? Five stars, I would give you six if it would let me.

[DanBird]

Your image definitely gets 5 stars from me. :thumbsup:
I did read this in the Q&A section of the magazine ImagineFX, I found it very helpful, thanks.
I'm very inspired from looking at your painting... I must now create something. :)

[BARoNTiERi]

Hi,
thanks a lot everyone, it's a pleasure to receive such a warm support for this painting, I was nervous since I've tried something a bit different, far from any technological gimmicks for once (which is usually easier) and it makes me want to do more. I'll post the 3 main steps later here, nothing really crazy but at least it shows the process.

[allenweis]

that's fantastic image man i love it great rendering

[soulburn3d]

Really nice work dude.

- Neil

[Zocsi]

Omg, amazing atmosphere! I also have to admit that you've used great colors! The perspective is cool too! Keep it up! :thumbsup:

On second sight, there is many many wonderful details as well, so i must give you five stars to get you into the next volume of exposee! ;) U have earned it, i guess! C ya

[SeifoSid]

holy s... that's good, 5 stars without a doubt, every part is balanced and looks amazing, stunning work man.

[Urrgos]

Wonderful piece. The angles, lighting, concept... everything down to that boat floating in the water and the roots running everywhere: perfect. Amazing!

[xujie]

WOW
This is incredible... Amazing colors and atmosphere !
Totaly 5 stars

[xujie]

Very-very beautiful colours and lighting!Really nice work !

[Jassar]

WOW! 5 STARS!!

-Jassar

[Artbot]

This should be a case study in perfect composition: The framing of the scene with the foliage, the rocky slope leading right down to the high-contrast focal point of the ceremony, the perfect lighting & depth of field.

It's also great to see one of these "ceremony scenes" done in a tropical jungle instead of a medieval castle. Fantastic painting!

[Rho-Yia]

simply amazing! :applause:

I love it! 5 stars! :)

[Damselfly]

I saw this in ImagineFX and immediately fell in love with it! It has such a wonderful, mysterious and peaceful yet slightly sinister atmosphere. Fabulous job!

[PMD]

This needs to be on the Front Page. Absolutely breathtaking image, Thierry. I loved it in ImagineFX and I love it here - just absolutely perfect work.

[SquarePixel]

This is FANTASTIC!! Wow, awsome job BARoNTiERi. The angle, palette, and mood are incrediable. I agree with PMD, this does need to be frontpage!:thumbsup:

[kendarot]

Great Job.

It just looks fantastic. I love the angle of camera and its color scheme, and contrast.

5 from me.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Great image...

Plugged.

Thanks to soulburn3d for the heads up

[niva]

[Lc]

so perfect, uufff i love it ^^

[bbob]

Thats absolutely amazing, great work!

[captainchet]

i love it! one crit though: i think the shadows that fall under the water should be a little lighter. Not really sure about that, but its not exactly a big deal/doesnt distract from the image much.
Time to make this my new desktop...

[Minotaur0]

That's some kickass piece of art :)

5/5

Wicked man! I prefer this to your spaceships, lots more narrative. Beautiful!

Hey, how come no gueule du con on your picture?


K

[BARoNTiERi]

Thanks again everyone, I'm really grateful about your comments and reactions to this picture, it's very encouraging!!!
here are 3 main steps showing the making of; as you see my 3D is really ba(d)sic (I'm ashamed) but the camera helps to define my 3 vanishing points, space and composition. I knew what I had in mind so i didn't need something more defined, neither any radiosity renderings. Then it's a question of detailing and texturing for few hours, I added the characters at the end and flipped the whole thing.

[elnady]

Great work my friend

Nice colors
Good job :)

[krazyrokr]

Beautiful work, just superb. :applause:

[Cris-Palomino]

Beautiful melding of 2D and 3D. Beautifully composed and painted.

Cris

[tonare]

This is an excellent image here. Everything about it just blows my mind. I wish I could draw like that, thats why I'm thankful for 3d programs lol.

I saw this in the magazine, and I'll never forget how you described being our own director. I had just never thought of it that way, and those words will always impact every image I make from that point on. Thank you.:)

[RuanJIAJIA]

[guowei]

wow~Very beautiful! I like this work very much.:thumbsup:

[Terro]

So beautiful. The color of the foilage and the aqua water both meeting the stone structure. Very amazon like and very inspirational to look at. It is my new desktop background.

2 Thubs Up, Bravo!

[aoisabaku]

stunning.
I love the mix of simple shapes of squares and circles to make such an organic feeling architectual design.

[vivien82]

i want to get married in a place like this!;) wonderful piece of art...i am speechless!

[Mcuzino]

Good job telling a story in your work.
You keep your work interesting I like that.

[sandu22]

very nice work...[but I don't like the boat, personally I found that's better without it...]

[xcx]

Nice! Just awesome. Good job with details and colors. I like very much of that big Sun Cross symbol on pier. It really fits to this kind of mysterious ceremony.

[evakristjans]

Beautiful work :applause:

[rawwad]

WoW! This is awesome, Excelent scene, great lightning and idea. 5stars for you man!:thumbsup:

[asparta]

this is incredibly well done image, mate!

[ClandestineIX]

hope I'm not posting too late, awsome piece, I really like the atmosphere and the way you handled the lighting, the little characters seem so vibrant. Also, for what its worth I like the boat because it adds to the story, it says thats how they got there and gives the viewer something more to think about, like their journey there. At least for me any way. Oh and much thanks for showing the steps always love to see that!

[maksy]

[daddyo]

Simply marvellous in its beauty!!!

There is one thing that bothers me... the color of the water... it's like they are in some fancy resort with a swimming pool... I can't get the swimming pool out of my head.

[KreatorX]

Truly amazing! Can't say anything more then others said before me ;) I'm really curious how you manage to paint like this. The foliage looks very good and it appears too me you've been busy on this for a long time or not? ;) Anyway, I really hope you could make some time for doing a sort of "making of" for this masterpiece!! I'm sure there a lot of people that could benefit from learning of this...

Hope too see more in the future from you!

[rafisse]

Very very beautiful....
i like too much the light and the color of the water........very compliments!!!

[AndyBa]

I will never learn to paint like this :(

[henes]

[dt3d]

Absolutely beautifull
Magnifique couleur
Superbe mise en scène.

[MaskTX]

Remind me about final fantasy game scenes. and that great. Good work.

[cgoz]

:thumbsup:just great

[MoorDragon]

I must have missed it, But I'm curious, what do you do with it now? Was it created as an exercise, for a film...?

[braam]

Awesome, fine and eye-candy piece of work. I like the color palette. I like the vibrant colors on the characters. It feels mysterious, yet royal. Is it a hideout for a queen?

* * * * *

[BARoNTiERi]

thanks so much everyone!
MoorDragon: I did this as a pure exercice, you know the main problem with a lot of artists working in the industry is that their work is actually under a confidentiality agreement for a long period of time. So as you improve your art and when the time comes to show your work, it's often outdated (personal opinion) or you just don't like it anymore or you missed a lot of opportunities. It's a good idea to keep working on your spare time to update your portfolio and don't depend on studios keeping your work secret...
plus you have the chance to work on something you really enjoy, being your own producer/director/critic, for the rest the forums are a great place to get some feedback and learn. This piece was a test with a basic 3D model and a chance to do something different.

[Aupirit]

HOLY GOD! I have been watching your water for 1 entire minute! :eek:

[MoorDragon]

Typically, the image you created....if you had created it for commercial purposes, what sort of client would hire you to do something like that?

[TheFightingGoddess]

It's wonderful!...so accurate...so detailed....
Compliments! Great work! :applause:

Maria

[everlite]

To date this is still one of my favorite tutorials in ImagineFX magazine, i never really thought about that technique until i saw your tutorial and now i live by it for creating correct persepective etc ..

Literally within days I went on to create the following using that very tutorial as a guide:

http://www.thedaveidentity.co.uk/images/artwork/matte/mat3.jpg

http://www.thedaveidentity.co.uk/images/artwork/matte/mat4.jpg

Cheers - Dave.

[BARoNTiERi]

Nice work everlite, I think you could enhance the different ground layers by adding depht of field or desaturation, or even more fog especially to really separate the background from the foreground, cool ships tho :)

[esternocleidomastoideo]

Great picture! That's the kind of stuff I want to accomplish.

[se7en-z3r0]

Insanely cool. The wide angle shot is very nice and the lighting and details make this so slick. Damn, you just get better and better dude - like that should even be possible.

[moonchild]

pourquoi ne pas arreter les petits pets de blanc "aleatoires" sur l'image finale

ca gache l'ensemble et ca devient systematique!!
(qui aime bien ,chatie bien!:)

sinon les couleurs sont superbes

[animosapien]

[do you have a story to this ?.It reminds me of rivendell .Nice usage of the moss and creepers..How much time did you take for this.?.http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/52254/52254_1161650677_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/52254/52254_1161650677_large.jpg)

Title: Passage
Name: Thierry Doizon
Country: Canada
Software: Photoshop, Wings3D

This is an attempt to get away from my usual spaceships and SF environments, it seems like you're about to witness a secret ceremony... mainly PS-CS2 I used a very basic 3D mesh done using 3D Wings with no lighting, just to have a wide-angle point of view and a kind of "vertigo" feeling.
(Image appears in the Q&A section of the magazine ImagineFX with a step-by-step)[/QUOTE]

[animosapien]

it would be certainly nice to know the process you went through for this sketch.

[Frikandel]

Very nice, I really like the colors and the lighting.

[ACMEkit]

Great perspective!!It look really plastic because of that colors
5* from me:thumbsup:
