Looks fantastic! Great mood!

Very moody and foreboding scene - with the hanging platform!!!. Great fog/mist and muddy/wet street .. Nice work!

Looks like some awesome work here! Excellent!

WOW that's great! Idea: Try one lonely Kid standing by and looking up.

fine piece of work - since you asked: the stairs to the platform cannot be attached to the underside imho.

Wow ... stunning! Love the ground!

Nice lighting. Good work so far!

beautiful! it's totally different from Mac to PC, just to let you know. on the Mac, i thought it was sepia-toned, and the contrast was much lower. it looks great on both, though. love the atmosphere and the feel of impending drama. nice visual story-telling.

Great models Sven as always. Scene looks excellent.

Awesome!

Beautiful work.

I can't help feel the ground needs a weed or two. Something growing at the base of a building or a tuft of grass between to stones. Other than that... excellent as always Sven. Pagrin :-)

Very, very moody and dark scene. I agree with Pagrin though, a few weeds here and there might add a nice touch.

thank you all very much for your comments and hints. I will finish this image soon and keep your suggestions in mind. Thanks again:)

Fantastic image. It has a wonderful emotive mood to it, like the calm before the storm. I can almost see the crowd filtering in to surround the gallows, the condemned brought in at the back of a cart, armed guards with pole arms held upright. Well done, sir! :o)

super man..just super

Beautiful render and modeling. Just look at that atmosphere! One or two hunched human figures would give it even more context. Perhaps an old lady carrying a load, or a worker rushing home, trying to get out of the way. Hart to make any improvement suggestions on such professional work as what you do!

A wip... What are you going to put here in the final version? Looking forward:)

Very NIce lighting and Waving!!!

Dark, moody and magnificent - excellent work! Other than adding people, I have no other suggestions.

Super atmosphere.....I think a few corpes hanging from the gallows would enhance the medieval look! great work. James

The lack of people (so far) adds an element of darkness to the image. You may wish to leave it as is. Very nicely done.

Nicely done

Very nice work! Well done!

First class modelling, excellent work.

Amazing artwork! I have been trying to make something like this for a 'Thief' scene but im still learning.. Did you model all the buildings yourself? If not, where are they from? I think all this pic needs is a crow with a beady eye sitting atop the gallows looking at the camera. I think this would still keep the creepy ghost town feel whilst adding life to it. Or maybe a skinny dog sniffing the ground for food...? Or some eyes peeking out the windows... I could go on... ;-) Nicely done man, im envious! ;-)

Thank you all for your great feedback. @ Jordanholmes: Yes, all this models have been modeled by myself. You can find this models and more here: http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm/FuseAction/ProcessSmartSearch/istIncAuthor/Medievalworlds/blAuthorExact/y

I simply adore it, its like you could actual take a walk around the town, well done

I concur with cshark - the absence of people certainly contributes to the mood - will there be a hanging today? Outstanding image - I'm adding you to my Favorite Artist list.

WOW!!! This looks fantastic - love the chilly foggy atmosphere, and the way the whole scene has a dirty weathered look to it! Can't wait to see the finished version!
