very excellent work. those animals are spot on!

Very nice work, I like your composition choices as well as the detailing :smiley:

I like your raven and ham. (would you post a wireframe of those two, please? )

The first image has a decidedly storybook feel to it, very detailed and it looks like you have a lot of skill when it comes to shading and texturing.

Some of the others look to be something you’d find in a video game like ‘Myst’, you’re asking if there’s something that happened there, that there’s a mystery over how things got that way, what am I looking for in the image and what should I be doing.

The composition and placement of the elements in these images is definitely something that rivals the best work in this forum, something which would be a bit more spectacular if we knew that the vast majority of the detail is actually modeled and not photos composited in.

Great world indeed, love it! :smiley:

Excellent sketchbook.
The raven alone is my favorite. Simple and direct.

I feel there’s a need for some constructive criticism here. Much of your work is beautiful and I commend you for it, however, I really think something needs to be said about the first image “Weathertop”. I think the image overall is too contrasty. The rider is disappearing into the foliage. I honestly couldn’t tell what it was until I clicked to see the larger view. And…That horse is extremely jacked. It looks like the legs got cut off, flipped and sewn back on. The front legs are back legs and the back legs are broken front legs. Not to sound harsh…just trying to be honestly helpful.

My favorite image here is the food table. It’s really fab. Your textures/materials are beautiful.

My least favorite are the standing deer and the horse with rider. Both of these have salient anatomy problems – mainly with the legs. This may just be the angle at which the camera is positioned, but the deer’s rear legs need to be set more outside of the body than beneath it, and with more musculature. The muscles don’t need to be defined - they’re covered with fur, after all - but their bulk ought to be visible in the silhouette. While they seem to be joined at the right place, the deer’s front legs seem to bow out from the shoulder and this doesn’t seem right. The elbows would likely be positioned beneath the weight of the chest and could bow out downwards a bit from there. With the horse, all four legs seem to be bending in the wrong direction. Remember that a horse’s front legs bend like our arms. On their rear legs, the knee is up by the body – it’s the heel that we see pointing backwards. They way you have them makes it seem as if all four of the horse’s legs were, as a group, turned 180 degrees and attached. I think you could benefit from referencing some more photographs of these animals in movement and from different angles.
