Great compo. The picture is awesome Oo

[TheTurner]

great job

[azynkron]

Great compo. The picture is awesome Oo

I have only one question: if you use Blender, why don't you use the Gimp ? :p

Perhaps for the same reasons as me, it's very backwards. I honestly really really tried to start to use that instead of PS.. But no matter how much I wanted to get used to it, I couldn't. It simply was too awkward.

[azynkron]

Oh, I forgot.. hehe

Brilliant picture. Great sense of scale, great palette and brilliant amount of detail.

bad performance

>gega
To answer your questions:
- haven't thought about a tutorial on this one
- i'm still learning blender, but the learning of the basic usage/understanding needed the freetime of about a month (without any 3d experience before)
- blender isn't that much of a problem, it is more the artistic stuff itself, like colorpaletts, composition, gamma correction and all that

[Pitipongp]

only * * * * * for you :thumbsup:

[Freefall]

Simply stunning. The composition is beautiful, the entire picture is just so incredibly well balanced. Superb!

[MAN0]

wow! i love this comp...just perfect :applause:

[venomgfx]

great artwork, congratulations!:applause:


(yeah I use Gimp but I miss so many things of photoshop when using it.. and sometimes the other way round):rolleyes:

[MattiG]

Hey Soenke,

congratz to this piece of art :) I really like the composition and the overall feel. It's always nice to see that artists can achieve stunning images with blender. I've been using blender myself for quite some time and still kinda feel "home" when I do something with blender. If that makes sense ;)

Bin gespannt auf deine nächsten Arbeiten! Gruß,

Matti

[digitaleen]

its very nice , but i didnt see the birds at first look I thougt i was some people and when I see its just birds I was disapointed because it lost the impression o gigantic.

[Zordan]

Wow, I think i go buy myself a big ice and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day :bounce:
and thanks for all these nice comments.

Where you faund inspiration for your creation?

Got inspiration from references, especially the works of Pieter Brueghel the Elder were very good.

Which artist do you prefer and inspire you with their arts?
None in general.

Have you make some sketcth before you start to work on your model?
No sketch or concept, just started and hoped for a nice result.

[Kain-Hazem]

oooooooh my god
that's what I am calling it art

[MusaX]

Hi.Great working.I am 5 stars.But this working to do blender surprising.Great.....

[Womball]

Whoa a Blender created art work got a cgtalk award! Mazel Tov! How did you manage to light and adjust the camera to create that perspective?

[gega]

wow, no skecth for your work,
when you say:"Got inspiration from references",you mean that you have much books or image araund you?
well, me too but i need to design my idea befor starting, and when i design skecth or model or make a scene i see my reference every time.
Ciao

[Micro26]

great sence of space. Love the pose of the figure.
Cool work

[zymn]

saw this on BA, man.

you've given blender a good name.

[mec6288]

This is amazing! Really. I would like to see how you made it. There are so many pieces, and so much detail. Can you post some wireframes, and possibly a WIP?

[Samran]

amazing job

[spacestrudel]

Great work my friend! I saw this before on blendernation and liked it a lot!

[dengess]

Beautifully and stylishly at you it has turned out. The Вlender is all-powerful.http://blender3d.org.ua/smile/smiley_glasses.gif

[alboghardau]

Simply superb, finaly i see blender used for an awarded artwork , :applause: 5 stars

[ZanQdo]

I specially like the sense of depth with the buildings and ships in the ocean and the hint of ancient technology on that cool floating machine

[flaviomonteiro]

great composition

[Lacrevette]

congrats for the award, it's well deserved. No crits, just a superb picture ;)

[Kerem]

I love the mesmerizing scale of towers! Stunning work! :thumbsup:

[fersilador]

Impressive Job
Nothing Bad To Say ,simply Exelent

[martinlo]

You demonstrate that a good artist can do Art with any tool. I don't know if all the distinguished 3D artists can do the same quality art without commercial software.

Great work!

[gary-smith]

Epic artwork ;) sorry for not posting a longer comment..but I can't come up with any text to describe how wonderful this image is. 5 stars

[brkn]

This is a beautiful piece! There's a real sense of artistry in the composition, it evokes so much feeling, and a sense of immersion. It's not just presenting a model, it's an entire situation. Very well done!

[StuartWu]

I don't understand this image's meaning,but I like it!

[Braetzel]

Well done men! But could you post a wire of the scene please?

I'd like to get a better look with the meshes etc...

No critics, no talkings, nothing to say or tell, just very cool image, plenty of harmony

:applause:

[Zordan]

Thank you very much for the kind comments.

>gega
I got my references from the www and i used them for having an idea why oriental looks oriental. The actuall source for the inspiration for the composition and the different image elements is unknown to me ;).

edit:
creating proper wires would take a while so be patient :)

[Leichim]

Great to see a blender piece .. uuh an artwork made in blender3d in the gallery!

[cermit]

one of the best renders Ive seen recently

[grafixsuz]

This truly is a masterpiece. I was watching the development on the BWC and thought it was amazing what you were doing. But the final scene was truly beautiful. It really invokes a sense of awe at such an immense project.

Words can't describe how amazing this is.

Awesome! 5 stars

[suffibutt]

wow its amazeeeing,

good composition, color, design,

done a good job,

[AngelNegro]

ho! in Blender good Work :thumbsup:

[abynum]

Very nice work.

[StSabath]

oooooh,i love it!,every bit of it.from the moon in the sky ,to the kites in the air....awesome detail,nice compo! 4*

[Tcrazy]

Hey,

Nice image, you did a great job making blender look good...people think that just cause its freeware means that it's no good - quite the contrary, blender is a very professional program, and only keeps getting better! I also would like to see some wires, and am curious about your settings on the ocean. Keep up the good work, and congrats on winning the BWC!

Regards,
Tim

[AlvinCamidge]

Well Gaaauulliieee...... Sgt. Carter! What a perspective!

[animastur]

great work!!

[Sariel]

wow ! great!:beer:

[FigMaster]

Your artwork is incredible, but in my opinion the fact you did it in Blender takes it to a new level. That's amazing considering I can hardly make a cube in blender. I don't understand people who say the Autodesk products are the hardest to work with ;).

[Sceme]

I find this very interesting. I keep staring at the "tower". It has one of the most beautiful color shading I have ever seen. The image itself does not have that much of different elements in color-sense, but it's still massive and beautiful. Not much else to say :)

[yalax]

GREAT work!!!

[vlweb3d]

Blender actually did this - wow!

[ramonsaroldi]

Amazing pic!
5* for me!!!

[ckworrell]

Great all around image. Noticed a huge mistake. the perspective of the building on the left does not work. You have it going to the ledge she is standing on. There is no way that turret/piece of architecture could go from that height and end up where she is standing. I would just have the ledge go off the left side of the image and the turret be behind it. Thats it take or leave-cant be the only one who will notice though. Make it a great image.

[MindSymbion]

Wow! That's a beautiful scene you achieved here!
Excellent work!

[Samuka3000]

5*
because changed my opinion about blender....

really nice work

[iKAL]

Amazing work, simply. :scream:

Wow....amazing work ..

[nightwoodwolf]

great work !! i like the camera perspective, great final image

[pschoboy]

love the spectacle

[retroics]

I can't imagine how y can figure out all the details--for a massively vast environment u got here... very monumental but still have a spirit to be told... very extraordinary from blender u've used... lookin forward for ur the next project... AMAZING!

[Bajamuth]

i think this is one of the most amazing pieces ive ever seen,
excellent.



i just have a curiosity, abut her rear, as i can see shes an indo-afro girl
i think she should have a bubble bu77.



pd. ignore my comment if she was conceived skinny

[shadowseve]

This piece is very well put together. there is a story to be told and it seems to draw the person right to the focal point. You're eyes wander to take in a good view of the surroundings but they always find themselves right back where they need to be. Excellent work. Shows just how far blender has come. Huzza for freeware!!!

[ChristopheFauconneau]

pretty good scene, great composition!
5stars

[show]

Blender is great software!

[sicowan]

This image inspires me. Thank you this is brilliant. I saw it in 3D world and I loved it there. Seeing it again I love it more. Magic.

[mijail]

Great projection, gives the sensation to be stopped set against the building...


Congratulations!!!

[sweetheart]
