SciFi and Fantasy Art: Plunder

This all looks so real! I feel like I could step right into it and pick of the sword, sit by that cauldron and get warm. But you're really great with colors. You know in a few minutes, a dark rouge lord will walk into the room, eyeing his treasures happily. Good job!

You sure can create a mood and you know your stuff!! I find myself drawn into the crystal..........

I swear it looks like the crystal is flickering....holy cow...thats soooo good!

Well, this one looks pretty much like the standard "set of things" picture you see among amateurs 3d- pictures. Noooo, I don't mean "bad" with amateurs, I mean "doing for a hobby/for the fun of it". It isn't particularly interesting, since nothing is happening in it, as it does in that picture with the gargoyle-like thing on a castle roof(it is "guarding" which is doing something). On the other hand, all the things I can find in the picture are well done. This means a 4/5 in modelling, texturing/colouring and setting light. On an over all it drops to an 2/5. It is technically interesting to look at but, from a generic audiences point of view, too static. It doesn't mean anything. Nothing is happening in it. Perhaps if you could add someone in the foreground that is offering a gift to someone whom you place in the background(simply on the far side of the table). The you add some troubled expression to the face of the gift-taker, and you've got "action" in the picture. Simple? Nah, but I've seen you do it. Just look at that "bride and Frankensteins monster" picture you have in your gallery. It is brilliant. Even though nothing hardly moves you can feel the tension in it. Try to get that in your 3d-pictures, and you are on your way to Hollywood. If you update this picture, please tell me, and I'll drop by to comment again.

Good haul..must be a good thief. Is he married?? like the texture on the stones.

Overall I think the picture is too dark.
