Fantastic image and this Shiva like person looks amazing!!!! Perfect made image, it is everytime a pleasure to see your images David!!!! Excellent work!!!

Fantastic image this is very well done work!!!!!!!!

What a phonomanal image. I can fully understand your frustration in a contest here. I too learned the hard way,it's very sad, and disheartning. You spend so many hours,and so much time creating,and the worst thing is when your entry doesn't even get an honorable mention. That is why I no longer do contests,challenges,or anything that has to do with winning anything.

Amazing dedication and so impressive. Rob is always very encouraging especially to people who do not receive many comments. Absoloutely outstanding artwork I adore it big vote Cathy xoxoxo

David, this is one spectacular image. I am loving every little detail of it! I hate the community vote contests... It seems like one big popularity contest instead of an art contest. I had thought about entering because the prize list was incredible, but figured I'd be opening the door for the frustration that you are feeling now. Been there, done that.... I am sorry that you didn't fare better. This truly is an awesome image!

This is a beautiful piece, I have to admit that I was floored when I didn't see this in the semi-finals. You and I did chat behind the scenes about the contest and nothing has changed other than the fact that you get to exhibit this great piece of art!! Be proud you have created a magnificent work of art that was well worth the blood sweat and tears that have gone into it! ~James

I can see that you have spent so much time in putting this together, and i think its a shame that for the ammount of work and time spent on a creation such as this, it should have got a mention, hey, not to worry, i didnt get a mention either, so snap!! :)

Absolutely brilliant piece of artwork Here. Wonderful use of props and the Atmosphere and lighting is Terrific!

It's all been said above! Amazing work and creative mind, bravo! **

Awesome concept and excellent lighting!! Beautiful work!!

Absolute gorgeousness, awesome conceptuality, and so excellently done!! :)

Splendid scene!! Can't add any more to whats been said above !! Excellent work

amazing light and very powerful image dark and intriguing!! SUPURBLY DONE!! ...WOW!..... stunning!!! V

Ah, David...such an amazing dedication to a truly amazing artist and individual. Rob's an all-around good-guy...one of the best. Nothing about this image is a "losing entry". Read the comments, my friend, and see how many people love and admire your work. This piece is a prime example of the magic you create. It's stunning and phenomenal work. The color and lighting alone are a visual feast, not to mention the creativity and excellence of the character work. I'm so happy you shared it here. Beyond exceptional and flawless work of art!

WOW! I'm glad I never entered the contest. I braved it once before but never again. I know that if this very gorgeous image didn't win..Mine surely would be laughed at LOL This is wonderful.

Brilliant artwork my dear friend !!artistry done excellent lighting and colors love those green so beautiful ,fantastic character and power pose wonderful composition,you are really great artist !!!!

Fantastic Work!... Best regards, Mike.

Lololol, I know when I enter a contest here that will be up for community voting I don't stand a chance in "hell" regardless of anything else. But I enter them regardless just to challenge myself mostly and again, what the hell maybe one day I might actually get lucky even though I figure I have a better chance of Tyrannosaurus Rex walking through my front yard. And yes, I will be loading my "losers" too. Granted I don't mind losing, there were many, many excellent images entered, but when I saw what took first place by community voting I almost choked. My first thought was I wonder how much that "cost" ya. The other funny thing is it seems whenever there are BIG prizes up Renderosity puts it up for community vote, now does that stink? Why don't they just sell them to the highest bidder? Anyway.....phenomenal image, you can tell you put your heart into this, and if nothing else it won't go un appreciated by your friends.... "Us" ~hugs~

Fantastic and unique - I agree with all the above !

Perfect my Friend.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

As usual I am way down here at the bottom. Sorry. I know exactly how you feel about the contests. I have entered many and have gotten know where. Then again I don't rub elbows that because mine are sharp. lol! Well this image certianly well deserved to be noticed...Obviously it has. This is incredible looking. The six arms are amazing! If Audra had that many arms I would be in serious trouble...Well only if she had those swords and daggers in her hands. The rest of the time...Well I won't get into that. lol! Fantastic artwork!!!

Holycow!!!! A human Cuisinart! Talk about your multi-tasking! What a lot of work and detail went into this! I can't imagine attempting anything this difficult. The dedication and love you put into your artwork is staggering David. As far as the contests go here.. don't bother.. the winners are always the most networked folks and not always the best art or artists. It's the same in the real world with politicians.. It's a popularity contest and not the best results that win. A fatal flaw in any voting system. I prefer a panel of un-biased judges for contests. So I avoid the contests too (as if I could ever even place in one..hehehe) Anyway, off my soapbox and back to the gallery.. Chomping at the bit to see your other piece.. can't wait.. these are such a pleasure to view.. and real inspiration to try harder at making something that might pass for art someday. Big thumbs up David! Bravo and a vote from another Dave :^)

I know exactly what you mean about "THAT" contest and enough said on that from me and back to this fantastic artwork :) The lighting is awesome and i can believe it took an age to set this all up, Its fantastic hon and to me you are a winner anyway :) Big hugs Trish xxxx

Awesome composition. Excellent lighting and atmosphere. Great POV. Beautiful character, pose and expression. I don't know how you put all those arms on her but I'm sure she's a hell of a masseuse! 8-) I'm sorry your image didn't win anything. However, I disagree with you. I started doing images in Poser by taking part on as much contests as I could. I think it's a good way to do a themed image on a limited time. I haven't won any first prize but I learnt a lot. I just don't do contests anymore because I don't have time. The fun is not on winning but on doing the image and taking part of it. Vote!

Wow David this is just awesome . Very impressive image here .90 hours .WOW I am like jean 10 mins and I am going nits LOL .Excellent work my friend and I hope that you are doing well.Love and Blessings

Excellent work. Love the postwork. Sorry no book like the rest.

Ok, I'll take a handful of the No-Doze, coffee makes me pee too much! LOL! Well I gotta say, as is with all your work, that this is amazing! And even that is an understatement! The compostition is tremedous and as usual you've covered every minute detail perfectly! Along with that, you chosen a wonderful person to dedicate it to! Yep, outstanding all the way!! hugs

I cant belive this isnt ,didnt get through?Remember my IM on congrats on the winning entry I loved this so much!!!The system was a shambles and I did notice an image at mumber 1 with 52 votes(hmmmm)suddenly was down to around 10 on the recount thing.I think that a team of 5 mods (or artists from each gallery)should of selected their fav unsigned 10 each out of the masses and thats what they pick the winners from.Oh whatever lol!Heck I won a Tshirt 2 years ago for a third place lol!I love the look of this David,really do .Take it easy mate:-)Bye cal ps heres 37

wow, David..this is awesome! the lighting and attention to detail are breathtaking..well done indeed!! :::)))V

Marvelleuse and magic artwork !! Fantastic background !!
