Nice work, my only nit pick would be the fire edges at the front seem too sharp and jagged, IMHO...GL

superb combo of elements author...ice cube is my favorite object here...well done

Nice image. Maybe I would slightly adjust the ice so it was less translucent. The fire looks well, but I'm having a hard time with the edges, they somehow need softening, and the glow intensity maybe should be more centered towards the hottest part of the fire in the middle. But overall a nice image. Well modeled, with some tweaks to the textures this could be outstanding.

Many thanks everybody for your suggestions and kind comments is very much appreciated.

Update in progress..........

Updated the fire with softer edges. I did not add more intensity to the middle of the fire, as from the visual refs I took a quick look at before I did any major changes you only see this intense glow which looks to come from the center when there are multiple objects alight at once. Same with the melting ice cube it is highly translucent when in this semi dissolved state. Still valid points and made me re-evaluate my work so great feed back.......

Spot on!! The adjustments work perfectly GL

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats...

I like the seats!

nice

Cool effect, but how does this relate to exo planets? Off theme.... =/

ok, wlady, you: re a real watch dog of on/off themes. as a reward for your good theme suggestion i completely change the entry keeping only the important thing, the light effect. this is an exception, pls notice that i found complete boring and useless on/offtheme discussions . for the future pls use the red flag, we have a mod contest who will remove the off theme entries.

Hey, calm down man! I was just trying to help for goodnes sake! Instead of being a dick and just flagging the image, I tend to help and be constructive first. So take a chill pill, it's not world's end if someone criticizes your work! Learn to accept it.

effrontery and insolence...lamentable...just ignore

ego-centrism and ignorance... miserable.... just ignore.

wlado ... you always have something to say, the world does not revolve around you!!!! ... everyone has an opinion and some thoughts, better or worse!!! ..but how do you know this???...and I have been threatened by Mr wlado!))))))I beg your pardon! Mr EXO wlado!!!))) for him everyone is ignorance!!!! yuhuhuhuhuhuu........

WHAT?!?! I never threatened you, you're an idiot and you don't know English. I told you it's not a threat, it's how you say it, I said: "Hey, I just gave you a friendly advice about rules.... Don't blame me later when you get your images taken off the contests..... ". Anyone with a slightest knowledge of English knows this is not a threat!! Next, about my comments here, I did not neglect authors opinions, neither I said the world spins around me. I just gave him an advice how to make the image better. And get rid of me, you really tend to 'follow' me on here and disagree with me on everything.

Continued... You are contradicting yourself genuine. Everyone has an opinion? Well, so do I. It's a contest, and I'm giving my constructive opinion, that's why it's called 'COMMENTS', and that's why they exist. Stop checking my every comment and trying to disapprove it! And the author was the one who started this argument in the first place. You may beg for my pardon but you won't get it. I did not threat you, and I'm willing to show publicly all the PMs we exchanged, and let the people decide if you think it was a threat. The world doesn't spin around me, but it seems that you do. Grow up.

I am an idiot .... you are the best idiot of how many existing!!!! ))) say cheese...or just smile!!!!)))

What, nothing else to say? Nothing to back it up? Silence speaks the volume.....

Awesome!Good luck!

Guys, relax please! It's not a great image and not worth getting into flame wars about. Sheesh...

simple but interesting..
