Tell me what you think of this? I had some settings with more complex shadowing. But that could´ve killed my computer. The clock is all modelled in Bryce 6. The cogwheels andt he face of the clock is pics added on toruses and terrain. I´ve also used the HDRI-option.

... and here´s one for the interested modeller

I like it but I'm not al that convinced by the grey (liquid?) with the words written on it, because it's pretty uniform it draws my eye to the least interesting part of the image.

Sweet design, that brass material is fantastic too.

fantastic modeling. Tiny point...probably the same font used on the face should be used for the leakage...but what do I know..;)

great photo...and I agree with previous post that the liquid thing draws attention from the clock.

great Bryce watch...  terrific modeling

I got to have some kind of idea and concept when doing an image. That´s why I have the liquid.  Is it a lame concept? Should I just have the clock?

If your game, try making the liquid object transparent with a slightly darkened color. Also your base material doesn't seem to be catching any shadows,(are shadows off?) maybe the ambience is set high.....(clued in by the light hitting the green at the top) If it's a transparent green, you can put a darker non-transparent plane underneath it.

Try different set-ups....I like the concept of the liquid.

By chance I am working on a pocket watch, but one you can see all the insides, and have been making a lot of gears, rubies, and stuff.

An idea for the liquid... how about watch parts instead of the liquid. Or, several volumetric lights coming out from the bottom of the watch. Since the light would be fading.. it's kinda like once Time leaks out, or escapes, it's gone forever.. intangible. Anyway....

The liquid is cool but on first glance it didn't occur to me that it was liquid.  Making it transparent or maybe a transparent kind of deep green which might tie it in to the back ground would make it interesting.  If you're going that way you could also then put some of the dates/times in it rather than on it.

I really like the work and I can see where you're coming from, hope I didn't come over too negative.

Concept is excellent!

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

I asked for help so I´m greatful to every opinion. I shall make the liquid more transparent and work with the lightning to get more natural shadows. Problem is that the HDRI-option don´t work well with shadows. I think I have to choose another way. I´ll be back with an upgraded image.

Here´s the new one

Very sweet!

I like it! Those letters look very good.

That's so weird.  The change is really subtle and yet it really makes a huge difference to the overall image.  Very nice.
