Congratulations Marcin on finishing. Best wishes, good luck on judging. I love your work.
Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Marcin Jakubowski
I thought it looked great as a WIP, but this final version is fantastic! Congrats! I sense a serious contender for the win here…
Thank you all for the critique and positive response.
Drawme786: you are probably right with the debris however I’m not sure whether it’s as important as you say. It’s an artist right to cheat in his paintings to make things clearer or nicer. Besides I’m not supported with the physics processor - I’ve got only one little render unit in my head 
It seems that the extra time brought some very strong competitors. Good luck for everyone! 
Marcin, your final is as spectacular as I expected. Bravo! I think you’ve got a winner!
the final piece looks exquisite!
i agree that the destruction part may be inaccurate but that’s not the point of illustration. an artist does what is necessary to serve a great composition and you should deliberately change reality to tell the story when you need to. we should not be slaves to data. we are artists!
great entry!
this one goes straight into my inspirational folder… love it. good luck with judging!
This is one of my favorite submissions alongside the Goliath piece. Your subject matter stays very true to the theme of Steampunk. It looks incredible and demonstrates great skill. Very nice!
You’ve really nailed ‘steampunk’. Some other entries are artistically and technically good, but nothing I’ve seen captures the spirit of the competition as much as this piece. Great work!
Epic work, one of my favourties. I think I spent more time looking at this than any one of the other images.
No disrespect to any of the other entries and winners, but I thought this was the best painting in the show in terms of just plain, old-fashioned great painting.
Well done on on a well-deserved prize.
Once again thank you all!
Roger: thank you very much for your appreciation. Of course I’m happy that I got one of the prizes. I guess that I was close to not be mentioned at all just as few great artists from the contest. I think that the formula of the contest is a little out of date. In my opinion those prize categories don’t reflect the real value of the images. For example I don’t think that I’m a master of texturing 
I Have same opinion and feeling with RogersNobs, and i just have a look your thread again, your entry was so so great:bowdown:.you created a fantastic piece of art. youa are the master.
