Me thinks you have another entry in this contest. This one is trippy too. Reply »
Not normally a fan of abstract work, but theres just something about this image that I love. Great job Reply »
Thank you very very much everyone I really appreciate all the comments you have given

It's funny how this one was 1st but the first you uploaded "abstract" came out 4th. I actually expected them to be first and 2nd. *shrugs* Oh, well. Congrats on 1st

The ancient art of alchemy and turning lead into gold has now become a reality with our patented 3 stage process and chemical alterations. For just the low low price of $326 you could great your own unlimited gold stockpile! (108 days ago)
I rly have a hard time voting on this since it seems to be a full 3d entry, I like the materials, the wood and gold and lead but they where allready created material textures and the computer calculates the reflections and shadows etc where in photoshop you have to do that yourself. so that costs points.
This isnt rly YOUR invention o.o; alchemist have been trying to turn lead into gold for ages.. they actualy succeeded too.

Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold. There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.

I remember when I was a little kid and got a chemistry set and I was thinking that I wanted to try and make gold. So before I knew about alchemy I was thinking about it.
My invented part of this is that anyone can do it with a chemistry set that you can get at home. Not some fancy science with a load of intelligence and money and research going into it. Reply »
I already explained why I see this as my invention... It is a fantasy, the "success" you speak of is not a real success since it costs more to transmute the metal than the worth of the gold and its just not viable as a money making tool. My invention is a fallacy since it is not actually possible it is the idea that you can do a simple process to make gold. Its more of a joke about it. Reply »
As for voting. Well I would say that the best way to get a good idea of how to vote is as if it was in the 3D contests. The reflections and shadows and models are not entirely easy. You have to set it up and have the right settings. Only then can you actually press render and the program does it all. Reply »
sorry about the multiple posts it was meant to be just one ;( I screwed up LOL (I'll edit them into one just hold on :P)
As for the idea, its really not bad it just not unique that kinda was my point.
We could have a long debate on the pros and cons of 3d versus photoshop but I dont think that will get us anywhere near to a positive outcome. I cant compare 3d really well with photoshop thats a personal thing I think, so thats why I had a hard time voting on it. I just went in the middle not bad vote not good vote. Because I dont think its bad at all. But if you had to compose that in photoshop it would be a lot harder I think. That doesnt mean that you didn't do much or that it was easy. Just very different.

Created using mainly source except the background which used Apophysis fractals.
Many steps and hours of work.
No reference was used. (2 years and 174 days ago)
I see what you are saying CMKY but I do like the lines and i am rather happy with the shadowing.

The feathers on the body have an amazing texture! I love it. Instant favorite. Reply »

the head dress needs a soft drop shadow to blend better IMHO (it looks a bit pasted), but the idea is quite good.. good luck author.. (the finished image could use a filter over the finished images to make the textures blend)...
nice job Reply »
Made in c4d and post processed in CS5.
1.25 million polys.
All textures made from the source image and in SBS (197 days ago)
author.. bit of concern.. you should take the surface of one of the lifesavers and place it over the surface of one of the discs you created and blend it into the image to prevent from being pulled on a technicality .. great chop, but I've seen images pulled for less.. great job as always Reply »
I have made some ammendments and put the texturs which were created from the source image in the SBS Reply »
