[ashiataka]

Hey Alon, as I've told before it's a magnificent piece! Details are all superb, there's so much effort on it. That's compeletely a cheerful scene, well congratulations again! Best wishes! Cheers!

[LordMout]

For some reasons it reminds me the work of Norman Rockwell! I dunno, maybe the set-up? Great piece! Good luck in the contest! You get a 10 from me!

[rocketmaestro]

A 5 star piece! Outstanding! Beautiful! The dynamics of all the characters are superb! FIVE BIG STARS FROM ME!

[andreasrocha]

the composition, the rendering, the mood; everything fits in this picture, big congratulations from me
5 stars for sure

[mb]

I loved the the painting already without the crazy amazing details:thumbsup: Great concept!

[Ghotire]

You just couldn't have made the expressions any better. Wowzers. Great piece, very playful, very pretty!

[Thaldir]

As I told you already magnificent work, Alon!

Great technique, wonderful idea, great sense of humor. :thumbsup:

...and you have my 5 stars, of course, if this one doesn't deserve a CG choice I don't know what does.

[kbarts]

Outstanding painting! *****

[Christian-G]

Hey Alon, man man man wonderfull piece. Your Pic is full of life, it makes so much fun to explore all the details. Again 10 Stars from me... :)
But one point, I think only in my opinion is, some parts are looking to "airbrushy". Sorry I hope no one is annoyed about this, especialy you Alan :) !

[vladiseco]

Hi Alon,
Amazing painting!! I love the way you work with the light, the details and the expressions!! Masterpiece!! and very funny!! :D

Congrats, man!!

[Sorinb]

Magnificent work..5*

[OmeN2501]

Absolutely and utterly fantastic picture. 5ive stars without any hesitation :]
It should be show at art schools as practical use of Subsurface Scattering :D

[Dianae]

This is absolutely amazing! Excellent work, good luck in the contest!
5 stars

[Michael5188]

I love it, amazing! Great job, the facial expressions and poses are perfect!

[Arnt]

Technique, concept, expressions and execution.... simply masterful. My hat is off.

[Delirious1]

This is just incredible. Im awe struck at the detail and the concept which is fantastic!

[walrus]

Alon, I have already told you in your Strange Behavior thread how much I like this peice, but now that you've posted it again, I'll just have to tell you again! This is just one of my favorite pieces of all time, and I can't say enough good about it. I'm jealous both of your amazing talent and of the new Boxx you'll be getting! ;) I could just stare at this for hours looking at how you've rendered the light on the bodies... and in fact, I will, as I've just made this my desktop, replacing my own Strange Behavior entry. Anyhow, I'm glad any of my comments and notes were in some way helpful during the challenge, but overall, I doubt you needed them. Great work!

[Istmo]

Amazing and I agree with the comments above. 97 stars!:thumbsup:

[taeyoungchoi]

Really wonderful work!

[NinjaA55N]

hahaha.. u made me laugh once again :D And Im still saying this is a sure winner in the challenge!

[Daffydd]

Simply magnificent effort and a fantastic outcome! Congratulations on a brilliant image- and good luck in the challenge! :)

Daf

[Rudds]

Amazing Work once again! The expression on the girl goddess is priceless! It fits the term Strange Behaviour perfectly! :)

[alfy]

Hehe, not only a fantastic painting, but a very comical idea. Expressions on the characters faces are priceless like Rudds says. I was surprised to see a 5* in the gallery, but now I can see why :P Great job! If that doesn't deserve a choice award I don't know what does!

[ahbeejieh]

lolz... omg. this made me laugh right away. got my favorite entry in the challenge. congrats!

[frebell]

amazing , fantastic , perfect , ..... auauhua omg 5 stars :eek::eek:

[krishna-fu]

it's cool. i think the goddess is the Hathor of egypt myth?
haha,very good job,wish you win the Strange Behavior .

[PhilOsirus]

Perfect! I could tell right away what was going on. The expressions work perfectly to make the message clearer.

5 stars!

[Artist-Lounge]

Great, amazing and lovely .. :thumbsup:

[Garciar]

Amazing work!, I love the facial's expressions, I would like to learn your techniques, congratulations! 5 stars.

[SeifoSid]

very fun to look at, amazing painterly skills, 5*

[EricUNSL]

I've seen the rest and I'll say with confidence that you've won this thing dude. How long did this take you? The expressions are beautiful. The woman with the fruit is my fav. Everybody knows that that poor guy is about to get killed! This is what I like to see. If the cgsociety is gonna throw a ass load of gifts your way, show them that you worked for it!

Nice Job:thumbsup:

EW

[agv]

Wow! Comical, beautiful, and a true delight! It's a great idea executed with tremendous detail and a perfect touch.

I agree with another poster's comments that it reminds of Norman Rockwell thanks to the clever layout of characters and each has their own unique charm.

Love it! 5 Stars!

[Hennaha]

5 stars! This is a masterpiece and I'm sure it will go straight in to Choice Award Gallery.

Characters remind me of Mel Gibson's "Apocalypse". What a wonderful movie.

Again Alon Chou, this is really breathtaking! Congratulations! I would not be too surprised if you'd even win the contest.

Cheers,

Henna

[AlyFell]

[LS Knight]

This is really fantastic. I'd like to point out that while everything and everyone is very well done, with really great facial expressions, another factor to this being great is its complex lighting. Most impressive.

I think this is the first digital painting I can see really moving.
I mean, it has many expressions, and all living, every people, and the goddess of course are living! I can see the next moment, what will happen after this. You really got those expressions, They're speaking. The characters starts to move, to act. I can see them moving and live. And it's also funny. So. Absolutely fantastic, and Living! Gratulation! You are on a higher level now! I think you will be the winner on this event.

Hey, this is my "Strange Behavior" entry, thanks a lot for many friends in this challenge who give me many comments and helps.

it's also the hardest work I have done so far, because it's so many characters here, and I did lots effort on the people's facial expressions, movement, and the way they interact with each other.

the story is: a servant was trying to pour a glass of wine for the king, but the mischievous goddess from the wall painting crack a joke on him by rising his hand and pour the wine onto the king's head. The servant was terrified and didn't know why this happened and what to do, the others terrified too and hurried to get out of the way, because they knew -- he is dead for sure....

Thank you guys, Best wishes for you,

Alon You are Chinese taiwan not Taiwan

Truly Inspiring! What storytelling! Dude you are a digital Rockwell! This piece is obviously amazing; I wonder how it would look rendered in a more photo-real or detailed style? Im just a detail freak thats all, but really, I would love to see some amazing composition like this rendered to the beyond! :buttrock: This is one of the best digital art pieces I have ever seen.

[AlonChou]
