that's a mad creature, Si love the way the skull hovers above the open mouth... very cool.

I'm sure your swords man will look great in a snow environ, but i got to say i really like that woods test render! Looks like a book illo, really beautiful.
Maybe a little magical backlighting for intrigue, but apart from that it's fab

Cheers Herman, I will take your advice on that one. I just thought that the crow didn't belong in a forest acting as the swordsman's lookout but he does look better in a dark enviroment. More stuff soon!!

[RawSunlight]

Turning the crow's head and neck to the left, like it was alerted by something, might help that? Might also look a little less lost in the composition if in profile...

I can picture the crow rising up above the canopy like the swordsman's eyes, has good narrative to it

cheers dude

I might just give that a go. A dark crow gets lost in the dark woods. I plan on doing a mega render session soon but I just love the sculpting bit. I used the snake hook brush a lot on this guy, great for flames and tentacles.

Maybe you could have the wings spread slightly as if the crow has just been given instructions or returned. Just above the hand in a landing pose or on tip toe as it leans off the hand into its launch, in profile as RawSunlight suggested.You could have the figures isolated in the darkness by some light source, moonlight threw tree's or something, sorry getting carried away great subject always llike this kind of image.

That's a good idea, thanks!! I thought I could also make to woods more foggy so the crow shows up better against the fog. Not sure if I should build the woods in 3d or use a photo as the background.

You do some amazing work! I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this thread.

[sgrell]

Thank you Mcchocolate. I'm really looking forward to one of your living sculptures. I would love to see one in action!!

[RafaZChies]

Wow!!
You have some awesome work here! Specially the Guy with the lady deflecting arrows. Keep this thread up!

Great work overall. Love that last one.

[sgrell]

Nice one Poda, Love your work too.

Thanks RafaZchies, It's my favorite also. Looking to do more OTT action dioramas.

I'm playing around with external renderers at the moment. This image was done with Zbrush, Teragen and Hypershot. Sorry that the model has an awfull texture and it has been overdecimated but I'll know what to do next time.

Render of that swordman looks good. Wainting for update

[sgrell]

Rendered it like a book cover. Hope you like?
