===== Big work, but result is not so good ===== very colorful. Original too. ===== The textures need a lot of work. Other than that, I think it's pretty good, technically. ===== Interesting twist on the sci-fi theme that we didn't see much in the 50's and 60's. Usually it was the hapless human getting sacrificed... The sword was a nice touch in such a technologically advanced society. ===== This image needs a lot of work on the use of color. ===== 1) Why does your alien seem to be floating above the ground? 2) That looks like a big pointy thing the human is sticking into the alien. Why can't we see it coming out the other side? 3) The textures here are still distractingly busy. ===== All the wild colors and textures make this image hard to look at, and the shape of the alien is really hard to make out. Add more shadows or something. ===== The art is simply not there. The column's grooves are too large. The alien is floating. The sword is marble. The background is an eyesore. Good try on soldier, but perhaps bicubic patches and such would really help with making better looking arms. ===== The cigarette makes the picture ===== The scene would be much easier on the eye if the colours and textures were more controlled. ===== Pretty nice modelling work. ===== good colourfull alien ===== original but... ===== Good modeling of the human and alien, but I question your choice of textures for the alien. It looks like it should be more liquidy and insubstantial. Also, what is that blue ray of light at the top? It looks cool in a surreal sense, but its out of place in this scene. It distracts me and does not do anything worthwhile. The cave background looks like its pulsing... but why? ===== really neat. I like the colors (particularly the blu-green ring near the top). ===== Interesting Background... ===== I love the textures in this picture. The moon at the top of the picture could use some work. It looks too much like a golfball. I also think the alien on the ground is very neat, however the figure holding the sword looks very unnatural. I think a little more work on his hands would improve the picture greatly. ===== Blood heightfield works very well. Looks like the alien is floating above the ground? Your human looks kinda cartoony, and that's ok, but for me the hands are in a very unnatural position and that detracts from the figure. Also I think the enviroment is just a little too busy. Nice use of blobs. ===== Too much on the texture ===== Lost marks for lack of antialiasing. The psychadelic colour scheme was a bit much. ===== Love the alien. Rest of the scene was a little plastic. ===== Some nice touches, but overall there's too much going on. Tone down the textures and you might be on to something.
