Magnifica, iluminação e realização soberba, aplausos (5)

Wow! Cool! love your lighting. Kemal-san

your atmo is fabulous, perfect lighting. i have on my next image i'll be posting later with the same book. love your pov and super render.

Wonderful scene!

very well down, great detail and mood

I agree, your lighting is fantastic and I like those details!

Hey Kemal, I sometimes take for granted how good my life is....... while I still have the flavour of my morning dble shot latte on my palette and have just returned from a walk through a nature reserve that we live near, one of my daughters watches a dvd and the other sleeps. My beautiful wife has just put some cakes in the oven and here I sit......... meanwhile somewhere else in the world people lay dead and dying, lives lost, families torn apart hearts broken, livelihoods lost....... why is this I hold no faith, so I have no reason why some suffer so greatly and yet others live so sweetly..... is it mother nature "OK there are too many people here now let's crush a few!".... is it fate....... I guess I will never know this answer. I am sorry that you are in a dark place Kemal...... know that I am thinking of you now and sending a warm hug and wave of friendship in your direction....I have a 2 metre wing span so it should get to you very soon.... remember to breathe Carl the sword is stunning and the composition strong

Excellent render and lighting. You do fabulous modelling on all your blades. You may make them for the sheer pleasure, but I'm sure you could sell them in the marketplace if you wanted. I can certainly understand your dark mood. I was unaware of your location, but I have strong wishes for the healing and well being of your country's people. Many of us walk through life whistling a tune oblivious of others woes, until a tsunami hits, earthquake, terrorist attack, riot, fire, you name it. Then all of a sudden the world is a different place 'cause it happened to 'me'. Well if that 'me' was more conscious of his or her surroundings then maybe they could help others ease their suffering when things are bleak for them. The more people that think this way, the less selfishness and greed there will be. We can never stop all of it in our lifetimes, but I believe there is still hope. By creating your art, you inspire and delight the people that view it. This is part of what I'm saying. And even in your darkest mood, your art still inspires. You sound strong, so I'm sure you wont give up. I hope some light shines back on you soon.

Thank you Carl!Maybe everything is not dark all the time in here but we have our own serious problems about the politicians and goverment officials!this is our reailty!!And we must correct these problems or else.....!!!!

Thank you for your wise words and moral support Arthur!

Well first off I have to say this is truely a stunning still life work in the finest of the Celtic/Wiccan traditions. You really poured a lot of effort into this image, I can tell, the fine details of the render and the beautiful lighting all just shine through. And as Arthur says your blades are the best... you should put them into the market, they would sell well amongst both the fantasy and mythological folks. I did think of you and the people I met in Turkey when I heard of the quake but I knew you were in the west and so did not get the hit. But the psycological damage can go beyond the physical and living on a fault line is a very scary place to be. Especially if there is corruption so that profits trump peoples lives. It always amazes me that construction people are willing to kill for a buck... for that is surely what their trade practice is. A dollar in their pocket is worth more than someones life. No wonder you are angry and pissed off at the world. Who would not be?

This is a beautiful image Kemal, marvelous composition, truly wonderful work! I'm very sorry for the situation in Turkey regarding the earthquake. It is certainly a tragedy to have so many dead, wounded, and homeless all at once. Here in Brazil there is a lot of the type of corruption you described regarding building permits, and so forth. Just a few weeks ago a huge gas explosion in Rio de Janeiro killed several people, and the blame is on the officials who let a restaurant function without the proper safety. Oh, well. I hope things improve. And I certainly hope we don't have to pray for your soul. ;-) Monica

my best thoughts send to you and all in your land!!i know this many co-worker from me comes from the same land like you and tell us many bad storys or fly to her familys!! so many bad things in this world too... send a little smile to you too :)

i have no words for this situation. on one side i agree we have mother nature revolting, always has been like this,but since the human set foot on this planet it goes down the drain. and the human is the only creature on earth wich does bad and evil by purpose,thats why i spend most of the time with my pets i dont need no bla..bla and superficial talk/small talk... i do hope you get out of this black hole,and seeing the comments and the friendship from our artist friends i would say shape up brother we are with you if not physically but mentally.

Very beautiful looking artwork dear Kemal – love it! I am very sad about that new earthquake in your country, so much tears!

excelend work ... are there smart promps or??? like this stuf.. good work

Hi Kemal, Nothing more to say except that I really wish that you and your family are and will stay safe. Even if you feel down at the moment, your words show that you have the will and the courage to overcome this horrible situation. I send all my encouraging thoughts to you, your family and your fellows. Your image is superb very detailed and full of symbolism ... Really hope to see more of you soon.

Hello Kemal, I'll be thinking of you and your beloved ones very strongly. I've seen on the news the horrible events. This is terrible. Courage, my friend. You did a very good still life picture here. Great composition. Cheers Odile

Nicely put together! Great ambiance lighting!

Sorry about all your probs out there.....perhaps one day the sun will shine for you agin my friend...excellent render by the way and the sword is stunning..you should really get that in the RMP

A very dark, but beautiful composition, my Friend. It's a horrible thing to have heard about the earthquake in your home country. I do hope that you and your family are alright, and must tell you that on the brighter side, this composition is most beautiful, and although dark, it does have a lovely spark about it, and is most inspirational. The POV is superb, and the lighting is a very warming glow. Be well, and take care of yourself.

This image is beautiful and your sword is stunning! I see the elements that represent how you are feeling clearly in this composition, the skull representing those who have passed, the globe representing your world, the crystal ball so that you can take a peek at the future, "We are waiting for a great earthquake,but we can't know it comes "WHEN"!???" these are just a few. I am sorry that this is happening in your country. There are so many tragedies occurring one right after the other in different parts of the world. There are no answers. All we could do as humans is support and help one another the best way we could. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your art!

Ja, das mit dem Erdbeben ist sehr schlimm. Diese vielen Toten; besonders auch die Kinder. Alles sehr traurig. Zum Bild. Sehr schöner Render und prima Lichteinstellung. Weiter so.

I understand your mood, Kemal - every time it is the same thing, a lot of people dies because of poor crafted houses and corruption...Nature does strike back sometimes but so many dead or injured, homeless could have been avoided... But I think that there is - for most of us here on Earth - good and bad times. We have to come back and continue but the bad time also sometimes make us grow because we realize life and dead, happiness and sorrow only is few steps aside...When I see you wonderfully composed and well lighted scene I see a strongness inside you. There is always a light in the dark who will brighten our hearts up again...

Dear Kemal - what else can I say that hasn't been said already? Poor little me can't compete with Carl's huge wing span - but you are nevertheless in my thoughts. Strength and courage, bro! Vashek

Masterful!

Sorry I have missed that post and to hear about the sad news and read your words. Some countries are more affected by the whims of nature than others, it's horrible to see that our whole life depends on where we live ... I wish you to keep courage and hope ... Your image is excellent, a great study of lighting !

Excellent models and textures!

Beautiful scene, I love the lighting. Even in the US things get screwed up for money. A lot of the damage from hurricanes like Andrew(92) was because houses weren't built up to building code. I know in Florida they found a pattern of corruption. Contractors not building houses to code (Hurricane straps, enough roof nails). Building inspectors who looked the other way. etc. They figure half the destroyed homes in Florida would have been saved if they had hurricane straps and enough nails in the roof.
