===== From shevlin@uic.edu: Quite impressive, to make that beast out of spheres. The texture patterns on the hydra are nice, too. Some subtle scaliness would make it perfect. The water surface needs to be rippling a little; something that big couldn't slide in or out of the water without making some waves. Also, it would be nice to have some other details in the image. If nothing else, it would be nice to see what's got the hydra all riled up. Overall, nice work; that's one of the best raytraced creatures I've seen. ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: The best one (for me...), great picture, lovely colours and harmony, your snakes are amazing ! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The concept works. See the other hydra image for ways to improve yours. Notice the realism in the other image and how that is achieved. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice looking hydra! Would like to see more in the scene... what is it doing? ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: If there is one thing I don_t like, it is snakes. However, I do believe you could of made this scene more impacting if you had shown some fangs, etc. But nice concept. ===== From skirsch@comcast.net: Not much happening but a GREAT job on the hydra. ===== From file: Nice lighting. Well-balanced arrangement. Notable for lighting
