Super image Ricky. Excellent use of light thru the stained glass :)
fairyfreak
Aaaaw bless. A really excellent image. Fantastic lighting ;-)
sackrat
Outstanding ! Nice clean crisp render.

Love the stained glass window and the light that goes through it ! Uhm... Can I join them to hear the story too ? Pretty please ? Love the mood here :)
Svarg
Oh, this is sweet! Nothing here to "have at"! Great job! (But I'd still like to see something with the pirate!)

Very cute. I really like these. Well done. Bunny

Stain glass lighting looks quite good :) To improve a bit of realism, maybe put a small bevel on the windowsill edge and maybe reduce the bump map scale on the window sill. I like what you've done for a theme - good stuff :)

simply beautiful work! this series of images with the house mouse are so enjoyable, thankyou!!

Fun and original image, i would say maybe reduce the lighting a bit. Try to concentrate the light on the little mouses more. :)

The window sill is just a Bryce cube, so it's a little hard to bevel effectively, however, maybe I can model something. I can certainly rachet the bump down a hair. I'll see what some small spots might add to the lighting of the mousies ... Thanks for the comments.

nice!!!

You know, I figured out what it is I really like about this picture. It has a certain charm and warmth to it, but you really managed to infuse a good heart into the picture regardless of any critical aspects I've mentioned in forum. It makes me happy, and that's good art IMHO.

Oh that is ADORABLE! (Ms) BillyGoat

Thanks for the comments everyone. I decided to rework the piece a bit, and focus in on my mice. I hope you all still like it.

It's cute. I'd add two more lights. Something to fill in the shadows a bit, that way the main light can be turned down as well and seem less harsh. A quick read of "photography lighting" on the internet should give some real world ideas that can be applied to render scenes. Background texture could use some more resolution, it's pixelated and has quite a few artifacts. Might need to import it into a 2D program, scale it up, and paint over at a higher res for use in your render if low-res is all you have on hand for it. Dragon's mouth should also match outside mats if it is supposed to be a sculpture.

The dragon is a blue glass sculpture with gold tipping. So, the claws and mouth, wingtips etc are gold. There is also a gold filigree on the base. The image for the window should be large enough (it's almost 3000x3000), however, I am going to re render it with less reflection and specularity. I'm adding a few more lights (there are already about 6 in the scene), and will repost when it finishes rendering (which should be sometime tomorrow).

This is really nice! Cute and cuddly!

I love it! Great texture on the glass and the book.
rickymaveety
Well, I reworked it with help from all of your comments. Whew ... lots to do and it turned into a 24 hour render.
