you must be Pisces Kurt, and thinking about you 2D work, i decided as much as this is totally beyond any C and c your 2D has an insight into you i think more than 3D, you probably think this is completely out of place, but I'm selling people to your web page (lol). I particularly like the piece with the tear drop. (on your web page)

man this IS and inspiration to go on. You and others have done a lot for 3D.

i would sell my soul to the devil to be able to do work like this piece. I'm a fish, Pisces

don't answer that lol user added image

did you put it in a 3D fluid container, how id you get that underwater look?

shadows of 'the alien' in this piece.

take it easy and life will be easy

Your work will get there .. its just taked a lot fo time and practise practise..

As for my webpage its really old stuff now i will hopefully be redoing it soon with a lot of new and never before seen work..

To be honest i still need to learn a lot in other areas like better lighting and rendering just to name a few.

diver's too

:bow: no doubt, this IS a fantastic job. :bow:

I wonder how this thing would swim. I am a diver and i know how to move underwater but this hammerhead-whatever-thing has got no fins, no tail and this grim Reaper tools instead of hands. So, no wonder this species died out. Wheater bored to death sitting on one point all day or from stravation :p

Just pulling your leg cause i'm so dam envious on your talents. user added image

cheers

hey Kurt

Nice job!!

Do you get the magazine Imagine FX? its like 3d world but more 2d orientated and its way better than computer arts, anyway, they have a guy in the last issue doing something similar with an underwater creature.

The only thing that is 3d is the head and front fins the back is PS work and disappears into the murky water with a quicker falloff, maybe give that a whirl for the cover on the dvd

Cheers
Jay
