The final image looks great!! Good luck with the judging…
The close ups are a great addition too. They reveal much more about how you’ve rendered the image, and there’s some lovely brush work in there. being able to see the texture of the paper also helps give it a painterly edge.
Really nice work…
And just to show off you’re starting another one!! When some of us haven’t even started our first colour piece!!! 
thanks for thew comments guys doesn’t look as I will have as much time to continue with the solar beast thing after all, at least not for this contest, got possibly a bit of other work to do this week and into next, then I taking bit of a holiday, just hope I get the upload info for the final image before then (still waiting on an answer to that) otherwise I’ll miss the deadline :hmm: .
been fun anyway 
Its been a pleasure seeing your work FlyingP, i look forward to seeing the final upload. Congrats on the final piece its awesome. Goodluck with everything else mate

That’s a shame… i always liked that solar beast. Especially the one with the umbrella… 
Maybe you could knock something up at a later date and post it in the 2D section…?
But your finished machineflesh piece is fantastic!! So enjoy your holiday!! (but make sure you get that TIFF uploaded!!)

@ sketchfiend back at ya mate 
Can’t you give an asingnment to a friend
to upload the final tif whilst you are away??
Anyway, I think it’s time they open the FTP
for uploads, hmmm! They must!!!
good luck!!!
your close ups are great ! I think you pushed as far as you could !!! I think you have great chances to win, because it’s so well executed and so original 
Do the sloar beast too,you know in-between your other activities…it’s a real cool idea and start Brian…Your work = :buttrock: :buttrock:
well that has been a pretty crappy week :banghead: (sorry guys I’m in rant mode) .
@ EmpY Leigh has kindly replied to my upload issue and I’ll see if I can’t sort that out with her next week, if we don’t otherwise get the upload details beforehand.
@ Virtuoso thanks mate, yeah I’ll end up continuing the solar beast in the 2D WIP forum at a later date, I’d like to see it finished too, and think I might just take it to 3D affterwards.
@ bonestudio, mosconariz thanks guys

It’s disturbing that your emails are not getting through to me… next time, try emailing through this actual site and hopefully that will work 
Well, if we haven’t got the upload system up and running by the time you leave, please email robert@ballisticmedia.net and beg him for help Tell him I told you to contact him… he should be able to help you out.
