Captures a mood, Great job!
Yet again, there is a fair amount of tension in this well thought through piece!
excellent still, the B&W makes it even more striking
Simply gorgeous my friend 👍🙋♂️
I agree with Paul - B&W was a good call with this.
This is great but your video is so....so...fabulous ! One thing is to be noticed : dogs seem to have vanished !!! I too prefer the BW version.
hope he had a fill of pizza, i would. a great b&w render my friend.
Mind-blowing stuff. Fabulous awesome render. Great cover for the movie. Everything you do is pure magic.
I love the gritty, urban feel here. Great job on this. I'll go check out the video..
while I understand some fans' preference for the b and w, I think they're equal. This is a fine angle, visually dramatic, with the grit of the city above and behind him---there's an irony w/ the splash of those signs (the best pizza in town) and the bright upper storey, contrasted with your character's down and reflective mood. Again, fine body language: very sensitive to how we express doubt, fear, anguish, resignation...a bowed head, a gaze dark and overshadowed, hands almost---almost---grasping for something...you're very intuitive about these things. (By "intuitive," I don't mean you don't work on them, but the end result seems to come straight from your wellspring...) And, as in your video, you place him expressively---he's in one side of the image, so the city has a loud say behind him: This is something photographers work on very hard. A very fine piece of 3D "photography"...
Splendid render, bravo
Great looking scene as well! Like anahata.c says above, these images both work with their respective styles! Most excellent viewing delight in both instances! Great works, Johnny! Now on to the video! I'm breathless with anticipation!
Looks great in B&W
Excellent
excellent b/w
Great mood piece!
Beautiful scene!!!
A very fantastic character who evokes sympathy and emotion.
Gorgeous
a sad image, but greatly done!
Great work on this moddy scene, love the pose and expression my friend.
WOW!!! Fantastic image!!! 😃👍
Nice dramatic looking scene... your video was awesome too!
Great image to go with the video ! You should propose your services to a professional studio :-)
I love that this is in Black and White. It adds a lot more emotion or intrigue.
Hey, I commented on your sublime and deeply moving 'Streets of Philadelphia' animation a couple of years back, but realised only today that I'd forgotten to write something on this render that still goes along with your animation. This black and white picture perfectly conveys the sense of disarray and devastation that hit the youth of the country when the first HIV cases struck them for no reason at all if not by means of a virus that was supposedly originating from some African monkeys found contaminated in the tropical rainforest there. God knows what really happened, as so many theories and explanations were produced back then....I've just watched the video again, and wouldn't change a single word in what I wrote when you first published it over here. Both video and render are superb in every respect.
