    Wow, hopefully this uploads LOL.

    "Kelp Ruins"

    For this one, I tried to model things using the lattice tool for the first time! the statue pieces are all using that. The kelp and the fish are hard-surface modeled, though.
    I really find kelp forests fascinating, and was like "oh i know! I'll model a bunch of kelp and put it in the scene" and didn't think of the consequences (crazy amount of memory limit crashes). Ah well. hope you all like!

    Mermaid - wow, beautiful... and I love the atmosphere in the Background.

    NGartplay - beautiful, both... wonderful caustic

    nvllcasting - wonderful entry.

    Thank you Horo, mermaid, adbc and yellowPen.  Wasn't sure if it was enough caustic.  I might try a light gel?

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,540

    Thanks Yellow Pen

    Mermaid, Lovely render.

    NGArtplay, Great underwaterscene. I first thought that the seal was a platypus. And the render of the Kraken is extraordinary.

    Nvllcasting, That looks very, very good. I also like the focus.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,540

    Thanks Hansmar

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,135

    Thanks Hansmar.  That is an Orca.  Don't believe that an Orca would get itself caught by the Kraken but that's the model that I had :) :)

    I should have been more precise. I meant that the dolphin in the render on the previous page looked a bit like a Platypus; not the Orca on this page. But a Kraken is such a monstrous organism, it could certainly catch an Orca, I think.

    Hansmar, that's a Daz3D seal.  Notice it's whiskers.

    Oh dear, my marine biology lack of knowledge is showing laugh

    Ed3D nice effect and idea, but your siggy across the objects is spoiling the effect, move it down or to one side.

    ed3D - cool idea and very nice looking. The sig is a bit too obvious and pulls the focus to it, instead to your artwork.

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,949

    Ed3D, wonderful idea and well-made too. I agree with the others that the signature is in the wrong place and draws too much attention.
