[kbarts]

I like this style! You are rock! Maybe you shold use some guideline for the perspective becouse i think some roof is off. Anyway I do not want to teach you, i need learning :)

[PeGGO]

WooooooOOOoooowwwWWW..!!

I love your style man.. really... always I love the natural traces..!!! and you have a lot..!!
congratulations..!!!

:thumbsup:
sincerately

[mikeldi]

Incredible painting as usuall Raphael. I like a lot your style, and how you manage lights to get such a realistic ambient. Congratulations.

[yasincoskun]

Hi Raphael!

Very good enviroment. Well done!

.

[Runecaster]

excellent lighting - dig the looseness of this one =D

[Nickillus]

Beautifully done Raphael.
Underpinned by a great drawing, the colouring is really atmospheric.
One tiny niggle, which may just be on my display, is that some of the linework in the mountains top left come across a bit stong and pop. Doesn't mean I don't absolutley love it and wish I had done it. Only ten hous as well! I'm beginning to hate you (in a friendly, jealous way).

All the best,
Nick

[lildragon]

I swear Raph, you can have your own coffee table book or something :) Love the depth in your latest. The wintery feel is most evident, even more so that what we're getting here in Canada huh? Maybe that's why you painted this piece, you needed some snow in your life heh :)

{Plugged}

Cheers

[Raphael-Lacoste]

completely agree with you, seems like I wanted to mix two projects in one :) i'll soften those lines for sure.

[roguenroll]

awesome job. :thumbsup:

[roctavian]

beautifull. sooooooo beautifull.

[Muga]

Great work ! :thumbsup:
Very impressive.

[PapaNinja]

The details are impressive. I love lightning and colors :love:
Great job!

Et comme on dit chez nous ... ça tue, ça déchire, ça calme et autre joyeuses onomatopées du même tonneau ... Bravo!

[Ajtron]

I really like this one but i think i would have added more contrast and maybe made everything a little less blue.

I really like this work.
Happy New Year,Raphael !

[Raphael-Lacoste]

I'm happy you like it,

legoparanoia: very good point, but I wanted a Cold mood.
btw, I like your test, it is less monochromatic.


cheers.

[nightpoet]

It's fantastic..good mood. good depth.

[avmani]

fantastic work man!
i love the climate and your style of work!
awesome legoparanoia!

[CyborgJA]

Oh, surely that I like it!.
It says in each part "Ehi, I've been made by a pro!"...I MUST like it :drool:

Can't wait for new pics....in the meantime let me drool on your portfolio.....

5*

[MasonDoran]

i like.....and I also agree that the hi contrast suggestion is overkill. I am of the personal preferance that black should never be used if you can use color to get the same effect. But he did point out something that leaves room for improvement.....creating more depth between the foreground and background. Somewhere between the 2 is probably the sweet spot.

[tokaru]

your work s very inspiring, do you work for ubisoft? witch games have you been working in the past few years?.

[henryzjetsam]

hi there...love it! awesome!

[degerardo]

[e338]

landscape killer is back
very good picture man. i like it. The contrast bewteen the cold snow and the warm light is perfect. love the overall look.

Alors mon garçon, on voulait se faire plaisir à peinturlurer sans avoir de temps de rendu de fou, c'est bien ça? Superbe. Encore !

and yeah, as Pascal said, poetry is in the air...

[Raphael-Lacoste]

thanks a lot for the feedback, seems like I'll spend less time doing creasy renders :)

merci Loic :P oui ras le bol des UV a mapper et des setups de rendus, ca en est ou de ton cote pour les images de maxou? hein? tu nous montre des trucs?

bon je vous laisse mon fils vient de me faire par d'une de ses inventions avec un train pirate...

:)

[FiBi]

That one touches me so deep. Incredible painting because that's exactly the world where I live in my fantasies! I love these cold colors and a strange feeling of forgotten but special place in the heart.

Thank you for realizing the idea that I would never dare to draw (because I can't).You've made part of my dreams come true.

[Raphael-Lacoste]

If I can make a part of your dreams come true! this made my day too ;)

[Venkman]

Your skill freaks me out, man. Nice work!

[Menesis]

I've browsed 12 pages in the 2d section right now, and this is the most beautiful image I've seen so far!! The colours, the atmosphere (thanks to those lights), the style; superb! :thumbsup:

[Raphael-Lacoste]

thanks a lot:)

[PaulHellard]

Hey Raphael,

I'll chip in too. There is some major atmosphere happening in this incredible image. Well done. and darn it, I was walking the wooden halls of Ubisoft Montreal on a visit there in December. Pity I didnt see you there.

[cabertevon]

whoaa...as usual great work!

[quanhuying]

Would you like chinese?
Your picture is very nice!
I like ti very much!
And happy new year!

[Raphael-Lacoste]

I have been to Beijing 2 years ago, it was wonderfull, great time with great people, hope to do it again!!!

[nolxev]

Wow... amazing as usual!

[LWPerkins]

This is some of the best digital brushwork I have seen, plus it looks *cold*! Truly excellent painting!

[Bizaro99]

Awesome work! Steampunk style never fails, and yours comes through well. http://forums.cgsociety.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=4107217#

[WhiteGuardian]

Oh my God! Amazing. That's really beautiful image that i ever seen. Like movies said "Two thumb up!":thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice to saw all of ur artwork.

[susirock]

Hi Rafo!
I just can't look away from it!!!
it's simply a perfect view, like a gift for the eyes.
thank you for doing it!
best,

[junt]

very good !

nice style !

[momarkmagic]

like how you using lightning and awesome rough brush strokes!
i dont really understand the title - where is the steampunk in this environment?
i need a bit of more movement or life added - maybe more people on horseback on the streets or just shadows behind the windows...
anyway - nice mood and atmosphere!
keep on rock!

mo.

[boxy]

Brill. I love the style.
Boxy

[GonzaloGolpe]

[BARoNTiERi]

Niiice work Raf!! I really like the mood and composition, I suggest to add more metallic structures to reinforce the concept of Steampunk, my only crit here, great picture!

[lvMadHatter]

I am completely amazed and wholeheartedly jealous of your ability to make such gorgeous, free strokes into beautifully composed forms.

[Paranoiker]

Amazing work - really! 5*

[tigermi]

It is just too cool....

[Darkside25]

makes me both envious and courages to tackle environments, I am hopeless in that aspect ;)
