Hello to all.
First of all I would like to congratulate everyone for the quality of submissions I really like this challenge. thereās a little of feedback
@byronheal. I really like the mood of the image. I just will add a bit of fill light in front of the ship that now look a bit dark. I also will put lights in the ship (in the windowās gun) and in the tree of the ship to give a more dramatic effect !
@toddfx awesome image ! Iām really looking forward to see the update image with more translucency in the sails !
@curnow42 itās really a great concept. I like a lot the image:) I will change the camera angle since now the ship looks small in comparison with the overall environment. also I will add a bit of fog. Here you can find some reference of a ship stranded in antartica

@Borreworks Iām really looking forward for updates. I like a lot the dramatic camera angle and also the texturing. If you need more props send me a pm
@halfPintMike I really like the concept of the image. Iām really looking forward to see an image with more stars, bigger background, more lights etc
@sivaavatar2010 the vulcano is a great idea ! it is an incredible image ! Why dontā you put more light in the sky ?
look for example here. these are incredible but real images.

Also I will put a bit more lights in the ship (simulating lanterns) !
really looking forward for updates
@lighthunder great start ! I will try to change the scale of the texture of the body of the ship (the planks of the wood look a bit too big), also I will tweak a bit the shader of the sails that looks a bit to transparent. the shader of the water will need a bit of work. the ripples donāt match the dimensions of the waves
@Shordy I really love the concept of you image ! I will tweak a bit the shader of the waves that now look a bit too ācalmā also I will decrease a bit lens flare in the image and lower a bit the sun to illuminate more the sea surface. Iām really looking forward for a bigger render !
@mikkokuri Good image ! I will add a bit of foam in the sea if you would like to focus on the right side of the image (itās the most illuminated part of your image and so the attention is drawn immediatly to the light point on the right)
@runejw I love the quite of the starry night I will low a bit the ship (since not it seems floating on the sea) and also tweak the sky using a starry night reference picture !. The reflection are beaufil on the seaside but it looks a bit too reflecting also in the low part of the image. Try go give a more sharp contrast in the image among the different lights in all the scene
@urgaffel Please more update !! I love the concept of the ship in the desert and I want to see more
@koushik_routh keep going !
@CHRiTTeR Iām really looking forward for updates with increased light intensity and better shader for the sea. ! I love the image !
@tuffmutt1 keep going ! Iām looking forward for more
@zbugja wonderful work ! I have two small suggestion. The font used in the second image in my opinion doensāt fit and also the position of the text (expecially the one on top) is quite distracting. why dontā you try a piratesque hand written font ? Also I will add a bit of for in the lower part of the image since the shader probably need a bit more DOF or tweak for a close up !
I really like you image and hope you upload a bigger version
Again, really thanks for sharing !
Giorgio
