Nice work, I love the scale. this kind of reminds me of enders game :P

Nice work, this kind of reminds me of enders game .

lol I thought this was you, glad to see you in this contest, great work .

You really did well in the composition and the colors, and the impact on the visual narrative.

The only crit I have is the moon and the tree, the tree seems abnormally warped to fit the countiours of the moon. I'm not sure if this s a design related element or composition related, but the branches of the tree might appear a lot more sinister by adjusting the contrast from the light on the moon.

Nice! congrats

Yeah buddy!!! My favorite story as a kid, which created my whole outlook on life. Congrats .

Glad to see you have been doing well with your works, congrats. Keep up the good work .

Alright everyone, everything is out in the open, the author is right though, it is up to the mods to decide. Honestly, I don't think this deserves to be red flagged (even by the author) and I don't think the SBS should dictate whether this stays or goes, I don't doubt him what so ever. I really want to see this stay because it is good work, plus it will keep the competition on their toes, It's that one entry that changes the mindset of the contest to make people submit better work (no offense to the other entrants, the rendering makes this work seem more life like).

sorry bud, thems the rules, a lot of us fell victim to it. I dislike it as well because it interrupts the workflow. If you remember your process you can remake a similar one, people just want to see that you did it.

I gotta be honest with ya, but this deserves higher than 66.5%. Congrats on 1st, definitely worth a fav .

I like it!!! It has that timeless classic look. Definitely a good medium choice.

lol I was thinking about doing one very similar to this. You might want to post "see semi (before zooming in) hi-res", The illusion is not as clear when it is a smaller size.

Overall though, I like the complimentary colors used, and the illusion is a great one. Good luck author .

I like the fact that you treated this like a painting, mad props to you, keep up the good work .

awesome, but your lighting and rendering is off on the creature. I like the dual light source set-up that you have, but seriously take advantage of the light sources reflected on to the creature coming from the windows and the spotlights (spotlights do have a color).

Really interesting . What medium is this?

Great job on this work . Looks like you really excelled on the plane studies in the water.

I spotted the diff, one person has a reverse tan-line on her nose :P. You can probably adjust the color using levels and maybe applying a color layer over the nose to match the skin-tone.

Very very interesting, wish you had an SBS though.

Clever idea!

looks awesome, you might want to color correct the lower legs a bit, the green from the green screen is showing through I think.
