Description

The scene is the tower of a fantasy (D&D) character I used to play- The Mage Ravian.

This image is entirely modelled and rendered from scratch in Max as part of the learning process (I'd used Maya before)- I wanted to make sure I could match a painterly style as close as possible.

Still learning...

Beautiful!!!! You're switching from Maya to Max? Care to elaborate on that? I am just curious as to the reason.

This image is incredibly inspiring! I'd say you are off to a great start with Max. Any chance you could write a tutorial on how you composited, textured, etc. the scene? ;)

Amazing stuff! I love the textures of the forest, and how you seem to be drawn to the castle. The lighting is terrific as well. It makes it very mysterious, and reminds of some works I've seen by Keith Parkinson. =) I look forward to seeing more works from you. Way to go!

great model, great light, great scene, a little bit too classical for me (the trees make us enter in the scene, as a door ...)
But really great idea and render.
Despite this is not my style of art, I can't denie it's a great work.

CONGRATULATIONS ! +7/7

Another "WOW" to add in this list of congratulations. However, I found something's wrong with the first stone on the left of the alley : it has a strange equilibrium !... : Maybe it's actually rolling down at the time of the "shot" ? :p Nevertheless, I think it's just a drop of imperfection diluted in a ocean of perfection, so +5 anyway :)

Edited : I wish I had much more points available to vote with by this time. Today I'd vote +9/9

Oh gods, I would never have said this was 3D hadn't you pointed it out. It looks like those old LotR illustrations by the Hildebrandt Brothers! It's mind boggling how you modelled it all... and the textures you used have a wonderful painted effect. Magnific... wish I had more points to give! +7/7

I rarely find myself staring in complete awe at a picture, much less one that has been rendered in 3-D like this. But I must say that this image had me immediately. Seeing pictures like this are what keep me inspired to write more.
Beautifully done, I applaud your skills.

Absolutely brilliant! I love the way you keep the curve and twist for the eye to meander along as if following a bobsleigh run...first to the left...curve down to the right...and back up towards the left as you enter the arch under the tower's walkway just left of center.
Everything about this image is just right, including the sense of the tower's 'aliveness' to match the life that surrounds it. The lighting is excellent, giving a diffused glow of enchantment, and lending a magical quality to the really fine detail. Absolutely brilliant!
