lol :P ok, ok, no lightening... well maybe just a bit of lightening?... oh, ok, no lightening as you said pretty please

thanks big toe reading that made me step back and look again at the submission rules! few things there I had forgot. for example, in my test beauty shot I am using a vray material for the water.. I better ditch that

I kinda like the moody grey sky look with the character, but agree it isnt helping the sense of scale and the 'winter' areas. I ll test out a few other colours for the sky and pick what i like

LOL

well I have continued to look at setting up for my final renderings. and a few more tweaks here and there I want to look at. I want to add the energy / glow to the sword, and have a strange shadow being cast on his back that needs looking at. think I have a smooth group issue on that poly :P
Out of town again until later in the week, so friday should be for finalising

thank you all once again for the comments, very happy that you like it

and a quick test of my winning shot, front and back pre tweaks...

looking at it now, I also don't like the way the right arm is looking on the 'back' render. another thing to add to the list :P

[Firehazurd]

Beautiful. I don't know if I'm quite convinced that his height would cause snow capping, but it looks awesome.

[mel_danes]

Looks very good.
Two things.
1.) I love the pedistal, for adding the sense of scale. A being of such mass would diplace a lot of dirt, maybe add some foot prints in the "path" up the hill.
2.) I'm sure this was a design decision but have you considered adding a glow effect for the eyes? Just to add some punch?

By all means I think after you tweak the right arm you can easily call it done.

Great job, more giants are coming to play from 3DTotal, watch out!

[Warlock 279]

Awesome. The pedestal is almost perfect, I think a big ol' foot print on the back side as suggested by Mel, would be the only thing missing.

Sword looks cool, I think the village looks great, and I think moving from the foliage everywhere to the transitioned look was definitely the right direction to go. I think it balances nicely, the visual weight of the foliage at the bottom against the village at the top.

[DaddyDoom]

Beautiful... no other words.
Agree with the footprints, and maybe to get him a bit bigger. Comparing the size of the trees with the size of the houses, they would have to be really tall trees or really small houses. Perhaps reduce the trees in the pedestal a bit...
Otherwise, amazing work mate!

[neokyubi]

yaay i like the sky now :-) it fits a lot more in my oppinion :-D
very nice concept, very nice modelling, very nice texturing. i just love your work

[narull]

This is really some awesome work you're doing here mate.
not much to sayt than keep the head high and go for it

[Glottis]

Lovely!

The trees on the pedestal bug me a bit though,

I´d at least double the amount of polies on them.

[chris_solo]

amazing ! superbe !!!

[Steamtrooper]

SUPERB!

Go get em tiger...

[Saiya-jin]

Awesome work, Lexicon.

How do you Brit's do it? hah

[dhruvsm]

looking pretty interesting...!!!!

[L3XICON]

hey guys

I was hoping to make some time for tweaking and modifying, unfortunatly time has conspired against that :P so. spending the last few hours I have to produce final renders. Some great suggestions for last minute changes from you guys, wish I had time to implement some of them.

have two examples of beauty sheet. would be great to see which you guys prefer before I hit submit :P



or

[poopipe]

WOOOP!!
