Love it ! Ship becoming a home is clever and imaginative. Excellent composition and render too.

Very original idea and well executed too. Good work on the ground cover, lots of details. If I may, I would like to point out 3 details that may be improved: 1- on the right it's visible a sharp line underwater on that small bay. That's because the island terrain is a little above the ground. 2- the rope stairs to the ship are a bit too big. Imagine the size of a man, compared to the ship, and imagine him climbing up those stairs. It would be very difficult, each step is too big. 3- the staircase around the tree has some points where it's not touching the tree nor supported by anything else. I know how difficult it is to set this up, I also made a similar staircase some months ago, it requires a lot of trial and error to get it right. Very good work, looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated and inspiring. Rutra - couldn't agree more. On hinsight the rope bridge has failed in its intended task, but ironically it did lead me to learn a method to model true geometric rope (which all of the other rigging is, but I fear scaled too small to see the detail) It's funny, but viewing your work earlier today actually led me to post this image if only to encourage my own little journey to one day create such masterpieces as yours. I realise I need some composition 'training' but do feel the result from this picture is a good enough start!
