Here be me comments, yer sea dogs:
3dnotguru: Nice boot! I also liked how everything is brown/woody, except for the gold.
MACEPRODUCTIONS: The hull of the ship looks quite nice and I also liked the sky. The ropes look a bit too rigid though.
DM9: Clever play on words with the treasure chest. I liked how the bear looks old, dirty and abandoned, just like a pirate! Just one thought: Did you consider putting the ball on the right side? Currently it is blocking the view of the bear, while there is plenty of space to the right.
ZavalasAgent: Cool mix of real pirates with internet ones. I liked the “old-screen” effect you added to the image.
NerdyGtal!: Beware of the big green button with “download”, “full” and “free”: It probably comes with a virus! I don’t have a smartphone, but the GUI design looks quite convincing. The hand looks nice too, but the pose doesn’t feel very natural: The person seems to be holding the smartphone with the fingers, not with the palm of the hand.
purbosky: Take me treasures, but let me keep me ship! I liked how the monster looks like a geological formation, until you see its red, murderous eyes staring at you… Bonus points for the black sails (not sure if realistic, but looks more piratey).
bnc: I was expecting one of them to be “System of a down - Steal this Album!”, but anyway. I liked the transparent cassette, but the material on the black one looks a bit too diffuse to me. Both models look nice though.
FlyingBanana: I liked all the scratches, dents and rust on the items. Really looks like something from a museum. I also found it amusing how you added a cross to the “things that go boom!” ;).
Ray13: Somebody won’t be needing the treasure anymore! It took me a while to see the water, but I liked the atmosphere. It feels like a pirate grove where somebody buried their treasures (and apparently all the witnesses with it!). I just think the strong light on the skull is driving attention away from the interesting things on the image. Maybe if you could get some nice reflections on the coins?
Cannon980: Haha, I really liked the duck, I need one of those! I also liked how the duck is the most saturated thing on the image, calling a lot of attention to it. The rocks look pretty cool.
PyBlend: After the glaciers melted, some penguins had to undergo a life of piracy in order to survive. I suppose to these fellas the most valuable treasure is fish! I liked how the lonely penguin is wearing a captain hat, even though the small boat does not have space for a crew.
beau11: This looks like the kind of thing you see on a post-card. Very realistic, and very good use of silhouettes. The ship also looks very detailed, and you even added some small islands around it! You really put a lot of work in this piece, well done!
joshwinkler3d: Haha, nice play on words! I really liked the material of the hull (are the sails made of IDE cables?). I liked the idea a lot, and the emoji on the flag was pretty funny too.
Iridesium: After months on the sea, this guy must smell wonderfully! I liked how the image feels disgusting, specially since that guy appears to be almost hugging the viewer. The face is well done, and looks very dirty. The only weird thing is that the clothes seem to be pretty clean.
fcharr: That would make for a pretty funny flag! The models look nice, although the finger appears to have one joint too much.
OLG: Really nice post-processing, this looks like traditional art! Really nice models, specially the boots. I also liked how the things seem to be abandoned there.
Helge: I’m afraid someone is not going very far on that tin can! The mouse looks really cute, and the fur is also pretty well done. I liked the subtle eye-patch too. Not sure if it is intentional, but this picture also shows a bit how throwing trash like cans on the ocean can affect wildlife. Maybe our friend would still be safe on land if it weren’t for the can. Or maybe it would’ve been eaten by a cat…
RobertT: Space pirates! I liked the idea of combining both man-o-war. The ships reminds me a bit of the sentinels of The Matrix, and also of a dragonfly. Is this a space station? There seems to be a ship coming out of it (or going inside)?
Photox: Really nice atmosphere, I almost feel like in the middle of a battle on the seas. I really liked the colours.
