===== From kantell@qup.com: The flames aren't very sporadic. They are going the same direction, same height, etc. They should be more chaotic like nature. Good idea though!!! ===== From elias@users.sourceforge.net: Not bad, but this kind of image could do with more objects in my opinion. Technically, it's quite well done, I especially like the column-bottoms and the fire. But else, there's nosting justifying a very high technical merit. Every second image seems to be a floating sword (well, my own entry isn't better regarding originality) ===== From zebu@pingou.linux-site.net: Efficacity through simplicity. A darker image would maybe have been perfect ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: I do not have the One Power channel on the dish. . . is it Pay Per View? Anyway, the theme can be more than neo-medieval magic tales. What might fantasy and mysticism be otherwise? Also, does something have to be realistic and relate a story to be art? Good use of BMRT, though. The textures are well done. I have had no success at making scenes with BMRT on Windows. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice pillars and floor. The flames look good too. The glow around the sword seems much too regular in shape to me. The scene as a whole has a nice classic fantasy feel to it. Nice work. ===== From file: A very nice image for a first try, it looks fantastic, i enjoyed the pillars, there_s a good work. I feel the background could do with some other details. The sword is very cuadrangular but looks good.
