Myth of the 'Floating Islands'

[khalid72]

Hi there everyone,
Again a little time to practice and have some fun…
I would like to share with all of you a concept from the old books with old magical stories that always amazes me (the Whale and the island on it’s back) it is simply interesting to question things like… are the trees trees or are they a form of growth that helps it camouflage!! The whale is old, it lives for hundreds of years these creatures have always been mistaken to be land, this voyager ship makes a discovery…
I have created the models textures and environment in about 8 to 10 days, I hope to here your comments, please feel free to tell me what you think…
Really hope that you enjoy the work;)

Fantastic work! I love the concept, and the execution is stunning.

The closest thing to a crit I can come up with is I think everything under the water (particularly the whales lower down) are too visible and defined.

Five stars from me
