I like it. I'm a sucker for symmetry. Like the bright "looking-into-a-light-source" feel of it.

The 'plastic and jello' feel is also very appealing, and the transparency is nice too. Reminds me of those bubbling candle (glass tube) Christmas tree lights.

All that is missing, to my mind, is a center of interest - in this case maybe in the very center. An example (but not one i like) would be an eye looking through the center at you.

It's odd that, without shadows or side lighting, that it has so much depth. Must be the blurred background, light around the edges of the circle and transparency all working together, i guess.

Thankyou verry much jim coe,

That was a nice review... yea, I did not blur the center, I wanted the background to look crisp through the Sphere thing in the center so it looked like it was magnifying or refracting it... it took me only a few minuets to put it together.. I love ZBRUSH!!

Thanks again :)


BTW.. looking at it now it reminds me of a jukebox top kind of... maby I will make jukebox next :)

I gave some tips out a little bit ago for what has helped me the most in the past several months. It can be found on this thread..http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=012335

The number one rule with zbrush is to have fun.

Now far as this image goes, it is bright and cheery and apparently happy :) So you set a nice mood with the image. I don't know where you were wanting to go with this one, but it is a very whimsical and pretty picture.

One tip if you don't know yet...it makes alot of difference, is to start out your document size double that of the default then hit Ctrl 0 (zero) This will bring the canvas size down smaller but antialias the piece nicely giving it a much more richer and finished look. In simple it gets rid of all the unwanted jaggies for the most part around the edges of objects and whatnot thru the image. You will notice this when you do the Best render. Keep up the good work. Looks like you are enjoying the big Z so far. :D :D :D :D

Thanks :) Frenchy Pilou.

I am trying to make more "pretty" looking things... I make video games and that art is verry voilent and dark...

wich is ok, but as an artist, if I make dark all the time makes me feeel dark and depressed..

I am going to try to make 50% pretty and 50% the dark...

thanks again :)
