===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: It's a very nice ship model, but the ice doesn't look right. it's too shiny, and the lump in the foreground really distracts the eye from the ship. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: An interesting image. The falling snow is a good effect, but seems to fall short of realistic behavior here. There should be a white gradient in the background as the falling snow creates a more dense view the farther we look back. Is the ship taking on water, or about to collide? It seems to be ramming into an iceberg. Also some texturing on the ice seemed to be needed in this image, especially since it fills so much of the view. The sails on the boat you have done a good job with, however the rest of the boat appears to be too simplistic, in that it looks like mostly primitive objects put together. The water looks at though it could be tweaked some more as well. P.S. Try to use another 2D program for texture work besides MS Paint. Your texturing work will be doing miracles in comparison, and your development time should decrease rapidly. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Nice work on the ship model. A truly amazing tail reflecting the best of human nature. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Some nice qualities but the modelling needs work. ===== From edward_dixon2001@yahoo.com: Nice idea. It is quite good, but better textures could transform this image. ===== From lamere@speakeasy.org: Like the snow falling blur ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Like the ship even if it's not totally accurate. The sky texture though pretty doesn't fit the scene. ===== From file: Nice boat model, and nice snow effect. The ice didn't work out, and I am curious about that large green thing in the lower right hand corner. Notable for modelling ===== From file: ambitious. Poor lighting, though
