I love the shaders on the shell, and the scene’s overall color. I also really like our attention to detail in adding the “hairs” to the shell - nicely done.
My only crit is that portion of the snail that extends from the shell (the head and foot) falls flat in comparison to the rest of the scene. It lacks the same sense of “attention to detail” that the shell has. The shell has a fantastic SSS going on, and it’s coloring is really rich and beautiful, whereas the head and foot look and feel rushed… almost to the point of looking like an after thought. The wonderful SSS is missing on the snail’s head and foot, and the transparent areas simply lack the finesse that the shell - and even the blades of vegetation show. …And it’s color - even though it’s brown - lacks the grander of the shaders created for the shell.
I think the head and foot are the areas that have the most opportunity for improvement. Overall it’s a beautiful piece, it just falls a little short of it’s potential when it comes to the head and foot.
4 stars.
