Fantastic! I love anything Riven-esque. They're working on the new game, Uru, now: I think you should be on the team; great imagination and excellent execution. I'll vote for this.
Great show of imagination. Love the entire picture. Especially the way the textures are caarried through on all the trees and then again on the buildings. Excellent use of lighting.
Carlo, you are simply the best! What a beautiful gift for my eyes ;) Thank you, Carlo. You know for what... :)) Mirek. My VOTE, of course.
Magnifico!!! Truly a fantastic scene and image Carlo! The modeling, textures and lighting is flawless, something we all are used to when it comes to "Sbleci standards", but what really catches my eyes and adds extra to this piece, is all the bent pieces of wood and overall irregularity. Gets the highest possible score and my vote! :)
Carlo, you are always good for a surprise - I think it`s great and you have my vote !
Simply Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlo, this is absolutely fantastic work. This image that you have not just put together, but beautifully crafted shows what amzing skill you have in putting scenes together, modelling and working with textures. The level of detail is excellent and the DOF along with the atmosphere is very well executed. Hats off too you for this one, excellent!. ---- Scott.
