Wow..that's a great image..

What a beautiful blending of images.

Yep this is it

wooow...this is amazing!!!

I love it !

Really good work indeed!

Very cool! The guy could never fit inside those towers, but maybe they're not for him. The tower and wall sides towards us could maybe look more like they're in shadow (i.e., follow the model of the guy).

Very very nice chop/blending! Crocorhino (or rhinocroco) is pretty realistic - imagine if we face one of that!!!

Absolute delight to watch this work.....Beautiful....Lovely...

Yup this is great!!! good work!!

Top 3 for sure...

Excellent work, high votes from me for not using 3d renders!

Fricken awesome

You do such a good job with the overall feel of your entries. The only problem I see is where the left tower meets the ground. It looks like it was meant to sit on the ground? I would suggest to just mask it out to make it look like its behind the ground. If that makes sense.

DanLundberg and Chalty669 , thanks for your suggesstions. I have worked on shadow and placed left tower behind ground.

You are very Good Matt painter. .

I have to disagree about the SBS's sorry The entry is great though!

Very nice work...gl author

this is a bit too nice to be in a video game.. looks more like a work that belongs in a history book .. IMHO.. basically.. IT'S too GOOD!!

It's more surreal.. and who ever parked that boat.. I'd kill the valet... giggle snort

Not sure it exactly fits the fantasy theme, but it's very well put together, great boat drawing, too, and love the colors. (This isn't just running aground, this is running very hard aground! You just can't get good valet service in those parts.)

very nice work author

THX!

Light comes from behind, all shadows are combined (see the temple and ice shards shadows) so i guess elephant's reflection is not wrong.

Author, maybe Kevin is right (if that shine we see in the middle-right is the light source)... And reflection is a bit sharp/hard (observe the clouds reflection). But it's a nice compo.

by the way , reflections and shadows are two different things
1.shadow is cast by an object in a way opposite to the light source.
2.reflection is the object viewed in a reflective surface .
so the reflection is not dependent from the light source, but from the angle of the viewer and the angle of the reflective surface.
So in this case i think the reflection should be almost parallel
....having sad that , the image is great i personally don't care much about reality of the unreal world it looks good and good luck

nice job...

gornats is right on: the elephant reflection should be just a vertical flip (with no size change).

Ok i'll fix that soon, thanks for helping!

Good work.

It's very nice ! Good job!

Great job Author. G/L.

Would be much better with the proper reflection...

Reflection's fixed, thanks.

Clearly better. Going to the next level --> If you take your background pic, make a copy of the top half from the horizon line up to the top of the sky, flip it vertically, and position it over the bottom half from the horizon line down, then you will see that it's virtually a perfect match of the lake reflections. Ergo, the lake is a pretty good mirror that takes on some fun-house-mirror characteristics where it gets disturbed. Lessons for you: The elephant is in front of the clouds in the real world so it also needs to be in front of the clouds in the reflected world. A reflection of the sky whirlpool should be part of the bottom of your image. The spired temples amongst the clouds as well as the moon have to be reflected in the lake. Ripple filter and smudging will obviously be needed. Separate issues: The fish and shell seem dubious -- and virtually unnoticeable without a hi-res. I'd make all the spires perfectly vertical.

Lovely image created after all the edits you did on the basis of the comments of people....GL....

wonderfully surreal

i think with more work on this you can win.
Try to make it seems really magical, work more on lights!

you sure succeeded and making the BRRRRRRRRRRRRR factor.. great job

beautiful elephant and nice atmosphere ! good luck !

stunning cool effect

Good.

Nice work...gl
