Whats that round blob on the bottom left of the nearest waterfall?


BTW absolutely beautiful, sky is a little flat for my liking. Would there be a subtle rainbow in the waterfall in that type of midday lighting methinks so. I really do like this.

cheers for making me smile

thanks rock; yes Im gonna try a waterfall soon, also an ancient temple, see if it works with the image (at least i had an acient city in the original concept :) )
Sorry, can you be more specific about the blob? I don't know what are you reffering to...thanks! :)

[Rockhoppermedia]

Bottom waterfall left hand side there it is behind the water, there is a highlight (white brushstroke above it)

Looks great, well done! Not much to critique...at least from me. ;) Make sure you get that walkthrough up, I'd love to see the refs and such.

[Suirebit]

Thanks :) Sure thing :) tho I used liked 30+refs, im not gonna list them all :D
PS: The micromanagement was a nightmare

nice integration and overall concept, I still think it need a focal point, the composition is not strong because if the waterfalls are the focal node it looks weird because they are split in two , you have a strong depth here, and aereal perspective is really nice try adding some more elements , like architecture of some kind

[Suirebit]

Yes, I'm going to add a Mayan temple of some sort, right near the golden point - and make one of the waterfalls 'flow' like from it/through it. I'm working on it now. Thanks James!

[Suirebit]

added temple and rainbow, see Step 3

Well done mate, I am really proud of you I am gobsmacked. Im still struggling with mine at the moment.

I know why ILM and Pixar artists work in darkened little cubicles now every time I try and concentrate the phone goes or someone wanders in and disturbs you. I dont know how you find the time to do this quality of work. I really hope yours ends up being used.

Loads of respect

Rich. :bounce:

[Suirebit]

thanks man :) well, when I start a piece, there's hardly something that can disturbe me...people end up yelling at me to bring me back to this world :D

I hope it will get in the book too :) I gave my best to create this.

Cheers

Great work all around. Maybe brighten up the right side? I woud think that the middle left rock would have the same brightness as the rest of the foreground maybe? But great job, good luck on getting in!

[Suirebit]

Thanks!
Nope, first the right side is under the shadow of the middle hill/cliff then it's also under the thick atmosphere created by the waterfalls so it's a combination between shadow and low contrast..:)

Thanks again for your support friends!

Ok, sorry I couldn't help myself not to revive it and say IT GOT IN THE BOOK, so happy :D
There are also other images of mine which got in, happy day :)

[bobzilla]

Great job and congrats! Hard work does pay off.

I'm coming VERY late (too late, actually) to the party, but the only thing I though of possibly adding was a bit of a rainbow effect on the falls as the spay starts to head up into the atmosphere.
