fantastic image and excelllent!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic work!!
Fantastic POV. Nice clear render. Seeing the amount of clothes he has on, I wish he was a woman. 8-) His skin texture looks wonderful though. The small dragon looks cute. Excellent scene.
Not sure what is going on in this art work, but I love looking at it. As an expate living in Asia it stands out for me. Thanks.
Beautiful job Jeff! The colors are fantastic and you gave him so much LIFE! Bravo!
gorgeous work!
Awesome lighting and composition... almost looks painted...
OH WOW Jeff this is probably your best to date...love the richness of the coloring and the little "dragon"fly :O) Not to mention Koji looks amazing...INCREDIBLE JOB!! V :O)
Yeah, I thought that light on his head looked a bit odd too. I was a little suprized because the main light was a spot high above his head. I had a couple of low dim lights to add a bit of bounce lighting, but I didn't thing they could contribute to that much light on his head.
WOW! the tatoo is... wow! absolutely beautiful my friend! on a scale of 1 to 10... I give it a 12.75! :)
Excellent work! This is an incredibly crisp and clear render... which is fantastic, but you might want to consider fading some of the background detail into a bit of fading to help keep the foreground elements in the focus of attention. Gets my VOTE nonetheless. :o)
Awesome scene and textures!!!!!
A wonderful render!!!Love the tattoo :)
Saw you got the shadow sorted out ... awesome. I agree with Moebius -- a big of blur to the far foreground, and perhaps a tiny bit of desaturation the further away it gets. Overall, though, I dig this! Ronin looks awesome!
Absolutely magnificent! Excellent homage to SAMURAI MOVIE.
Great colours and composition. Took me a little while to see the dragon on his wrist, tho.
I love the colorfull landscape, a good fit to Ronin...well and his buddie is fantastic too..LOL ~Uwe
You can tell your an expert it shows in your work. Totally incredible V Cathy xoxoxo
Sweet image Jeff... one of Your best to date :o) ~Thomas
Man what an awesome look and setting very cool character he kinda reminds me of maybe a real Samurai Jack!!
