The Arena

wow. I like it, nice job

wow x 2 Incredible feel of 3d indeed! Astounding atmosphere and very good modeling work, Nibor. The volumetric plasma mixed with all the secondary lights and colors plus the overall composition have very striking effect. The way you arranged those beasts in the center and the way you textured them makes me think that the Beasts are mystic statues in which feet some much smaller creatures or people fight their battle. Entertaining violence withing a magic circle of Statues. Very good!

wow Excellent once again. There's something so simple and elegant about the Haemetite material. It has no ambient so whether you realized it or not you just proved my point brilliantly about the benefits of secondary lighting over ambient. As each of the lights of the foreground is of a different color, it is obvious how each of them affects the model contours in the final render. Look at how realistic and 3d those characters appear. The lights trace the shapes and contours giving their bodies and the image a genuine sense of depth. This scene is hard proof, because I know Richter's material has no ambient so you were FORCED to consider the lighting in a more genuine manner. Bravo. the lighting is one of the strongest elements of this piece, along with the composition, incredible mirror techniques, and excellent use of models. The fact that none of the characters are in contact physically and their metalic material nature, the piece almost looks like a temple, or some sort of place where there might be statues arranged to tell a story of grand proportions more than of an actual live action. A representation of live actions of long ago perhaps. Timeless and beautiful.

Dreamy world. A maze you can get lost in. Hard to say from the final picture how the mirrors were set up. Cunning. I count 6 fairies. Very effective colour choice, the white volumetrics counterpoint the colours and enhance the dreamy feeling as the fog does. Very special.
