Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Jesse Sandifer

#274

Hi-resolution image of the Wail (1.8 mb - so get ready)

It’s been a whole lot of fun doing this challenge and I’ve learned more than I ever have in a 2 1/2 month span. I’ve read about 50 different tutorials after I entered this challenge and learned some stuff from other participants.

I look forward to seeing everyone’s final works. We all got something else to hang on our walls now…I sincerely wish you all good luck and want to thank you for your encouragement, crits, and good eyes.

Also MUST thank my wife and daughter for not killing me yet…if this challenge would have lasted another day, I’d be toast. :slight_smile:

Ok, this is it for real this time. I did some color correction (for warmth) and also did some diffuse glow filtering to give some light blooming effects…NOW, I’m done. :slight_smile:

fabulous piece sandpiper … one of my favs (as you knew) …the final image came out great and the comp work filled it out very nice

congrats on a great entry:thumbsup:

#291

Nice work man! hehe has got a nice feel to it, and great use of colors. I would agree that the stones and sands looks really realistic too. Really nice work on those. The glow is a nice addition to give a real mood to the finals. Congrats and good luck!! :beer:

#292

Congratulations! Good work!

#293

Awesome stuff Jesse! I love the composition. The environment has just the right feel to it. Kind of gloomy and oppressive to convey just the right amount of despair you would feel seeing this ginormous shockwave coming at you from this creature.

The addition of the people being flung away is fantastic. Great work, you got my vote!
