That is an amazing piece, and also made me chuckle. Congrats!

You should re-title this "Norman Rockwell on his Deathbed". You have a macabre sense of humor--bloody brilliant!

Thank you, I like your suggestion."Norman Rockwell on his Deathbed" very profound meaning.

If I were you, I wouldn't talk about the story. It speaks about itself. Great job and congratulations on this creation. I would love to learn about technical issues that you encountered during the creation. What challenges have you come across? How long did it take you to finish this project? What software did you used other than Zbrush?

Hello!Later will continue to update.

Haha... this is insane. Seeing the thumbnail in the "Recently uploaded" page, I though to myself... "hey this is nice, this guy made an old man with oxygen tubing... just like I did a few days ago" (see this thread: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthr...t-do-you-think) but then I saw the whole image and understood this clearly was something else... This wasn't just.. "a man", but a whole intriguing scene... telling a great story. Well done.

Awesome attention to details... (i just love the fact that "death" is smoking...) There's so much to put our eyes upon... Very nice work.

On the "constructive criticism" side... I think it would have looked even better if it had been a bit darker overall... and slightly desaturated... just to convey a bit more the dramatic side of the scene... but I guess this is just a question of personal taste.

Great great piece of work.

You are very skillful! However, Death wouldn't stand a chance against God - even if he cheated.

"...For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive... Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming lthose who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death."

Besides, isn't it the other way around when it comes to Death and cheating? You should have shown the old guy having a game of cards with Death with an ace up his sleeve? Maybe, he will manage to cheat Death somehow. Doesn't look too hopeful at the moment.

I, as beholder, wouldn't see god there!

For me, god wouldn't have wings and also a triangular halo would maybe better to leave no doubt.

So I'd just see some kind of angel (the old man's guardian angel?) on the left.


But a great picture with a lot of detail!
