Description
"As he again settled to the sandy surface, another tentacle came snaking toward him, blindly questing like the weaving, bobbing head of some huge snake. As it writhed past him, Conan brought the point of his blade down upon the limb..."
-Conan of the Isles
Just in the mood to play with volumetric lights and to do a classic sort of scene. A few more Conan pics might be fun.
Please feel free to comment. I appreciate all criticism, good, bad and ugly. It helps me to improve.

Yes um, that shade of green is just, are you kidding!!! what criticism could one possibly give about this image. Its absolutely stunning work. I love the view from behind the reeds and that tentacle wielding beast is going to get its ass kicked, I'm sure. Brilliant render:)VOTE CONAN!!!
RJC
This illusion of being under water is flawless, and probably the most realistic depiction of a submerged scene that I have ever seen in Bryce. The bubbles, light gel and haze are perfectly executed. That aside, the rest of the image is just as remarkable. Very dynamic and realistic depiction of a vey kool character. 5 stars! VOTE

A dramatic composition & very convincing underwater scene. Great work.
yogdog
The Underwater effect is very easy. It is a fairly dense Bryce haze in green. The light gel that RJC refered to is non existant. The effect is created by making a water plane (non-volumetric) and moving it above the scene (This also gives surface reflections if the water surface is low enough to be seen through the haze) and sticking in 15 or 20 volumetric lights (in this case cylinders) that pass through the water plane and into the scene. This adds to the murky water effect too. The water surface breaks the smooth volumetric lights up into dozens of smaller shafts of light....it was a lucky accident. -yerz, Yogdog

Most excellent, very well done indeed.

Very Very cool! Is that originally a Poser figure imported into Bryce? I love it.

Outstanding.

Nice work! It looks very clean and the modeling is great. Love the spear!
Nanothect
Excellent! and thanks for the mini tut. No crits here...
Ethesis
The render made me think of Conan before I read the text. Really like the spear as well.

Thing is, though, the sunbeams look like they just stop at some point, instead of fading off nicely into the background through the haze. Do you think it might look better if they just started off screen? But this is excellently amazingly superb. I love your lighting and it looks very "underwaterish". Or it could just be a very very foggy day on a distant alien world... =)
