hi essencedesign! congratulations for completing this entry and what an entry this is:)! a stunning imaginative masterpiece! :thumbsup: …u done it and wish u good luck!

Nice work Jeremy:thumbsup:

Full marks for imagination dude thats cool.

I can see you have put heaps of effort in here and the scene looks very good.
My only thoughts with this image is the lighting and lack of shadows i think that shadows would have really added to this image. Maybe there is shadows but i think if they were a little more noticeable it would ground the subjects more.I know that it really played a big part in what i have just worked on and shadows really help to put the feet on the ground.Well I hope you do well dude good luck.

Regards

fixed a few little things…hard to catch everything in a complicated scene…just minor fixes but why not with the extra time…darkened the shadows a bit to…

Nice use of the extra time, but you’ll never be finished with this image, you’ll always find something to tweak.

#547

Great worK! I like this sky now most. I like how the clouds descend into
the fog of war. Good battlescene composition. Neat splattering action.

Very awesome work!
I wish you could have a small edit on the modeling of the paws of the beast.They seem a bit simple for this great work .If you can make it dirtier and darker that’s great.
But again GREAT work.:applause:
