This is my most recent CG work. I fell in love with the tree. Sort of a photomanipulation and photoshop rendering combo... several different photos went into this, and I painted the heck out of the plants. I'm not quite sure I look like a stone statue yet, but... *shrugs*

Love the color, love the subject and you did a great job of blending the photo with the figure. It's a very well-balanced piece compositionally-and as another tree lover who uses any excuse to paint them, enjoyed this work a lot

Wow! That's REALLY realistic! And you got the lighting to match, too, in intensity and direction. Absolutely amazing!

That looks great! I love the tree, and the green leafy background. . . reminds me of the botanical gardens, but denser. The only flaw I can possibly see in here is that the gargoyle (or you, whatever you prefer) seems to stand out too much. . . probably because it's white stone. Ok never mind. What programs did you use for this?

this is a really cool pic. Gargoyles rocks. And this picture captures that rocks, yet charming, side of them.... I like it.

Oh! I think it's great! The scenery looks wonderful and you did achieve a good 'look'. I thought the figure looked a little odd until I read your caption and realized it didn't just look like rock, but was supposed to. 19)

Not to sound like a little kid, but, WOW! This picture is cool and creative. I haven't any talent myself, but I admire it when I see it. Great job. You should do more of this kind of thing.

Now, i love the photo, and I love the gargoylish you, but the two clash in this picture. The problem is that the gargoyle does not reflect it's surroundings. there should be hints of greens and yellows. Also, there is something about the way it's cut into the picture that is funky, though I can't help cause I am photoshop illiterate. =( This should be great when your done with it.

Oh, about the science question (yeah I am a fellow smart ass 12). If your density is like that of pumice, add the texture to make it look like pumice. Right now it looks like a big hunk of granite leaning on a hanging branch. But scientifically speaking, gargoyles shouldn't be able to fly, much less turn to stone, so who really cares? 2
