Myth of the 'Floating Islands'

Wow!

5 stars!

Would love to see a full resolution file to explore…I know there’s barnacles under there!

Khalid, this is simply spectacular!! Lighting, color, design, composition, modeling, and texture ALL superb. This is one of my favorite Z-Brush works ever…

Your talent is awsome, Bro…

5 stars and congrats on the top row…small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond

Fantastic work!

I’d suggest you to fade away the parts of the whale that are farest from us and deepest, because it doesn’t look much under water yet. It is way too transparent and we don’t get the darkening and fading that usually happens whith objects under water. Also what are the green spots on the left of the big whale?

Anyway great pic

Everyone has already expressed what I want to say: wonderful!

Eight to ten days to create this image from scratch. And then you slept? Your schedule is as breathtaking as your image! The ship alone ought to have taken longer than that. Wow!

wow is amazing you image, really is very good , five stars I have a questions, Did you export the dispacement map or you exported the complete geometri with millions polygons, sorry for my english

[khalid72]

hi,
no I just exported the gray scale normal map from ZB to LW…

[TrapDoor]

Just a small point - the wake of the ship appears longer than the wake of the wales. Also, the wake of the ship appears to be “faster” ie. zooming along. Other than that it is a fantastic composition!

Really great job and awesome concept!

Did you place the trees and rocks individually?

[Christopher_Pope]

Can you discribe your process of exporting your normal map and how you applied it? Did you edit nodes in the surface editor?

[spaceboy412]

can you explain the water, is it modo? how did you get the light refractions on the whale and the seafoam?

[Jairmjr]

This is one of the first pieces in a long time I’ve really enjoyed looking at purely from a design standpoint that its not another demon or human head.

Hear hear…

I am without words!
