Just want to add my final congratulations. This so recaptures the feelings I had reading Jules Verne and particularly the almost physical response to the designs in the Disney movie. I remember trying to draw the Nautilus time and again as a kid. :applause:

Software: Photoshop
the image is about a giant machine octopus which is attacking freighters and civil cruisers.
Nobody really knows who is behind the huge machine which is attacking the ships for several months now.
because the government wasn?t able to react fast enough, the shipowners have hired some brave men and modified some old fishing cutters and equiped them with modern weapons to secure their ships. the unknown attacker seems not very impressed though…

It is beautiful! Wonderfully dramatic- you should be very proud of it! It’s definitely a contender, I’ll tell you that much. Pat yourself on the back now, go on.

I’m impressed! You depicted the essence of steampunk universe.
Fantastic image. One of those which makes me work harder.
10k pixels? Are you mad? Was it convenient to work on such a big file?

paperclip,pauloduarte,guterrez,Bittler,AUMAKUA: thank you all!
balloontree: yeah i´m mad… no. i´m just a noob and someone told me that i should paint as big as possible… because it makes detailing easier… and yeah it was convienent until the very end when i was having around 120 layers but next image will be smaller… i also ended up adding details which no one will ever see…
the whole challenge was a good exercise… i´m so happy that i am participated… i learned so much just by forcing myself to work on the details… i made a new pic meanwhile and i was faster like ever before and i think this is a direct result of this challenge new pic can be seen here, btw: http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/716529/
