Hey Mlody,

Eye-pleasing details as always but that red chair is off the chain. Is this your model?
I know its apocalypse theme and you're after "bleached" look, but i think you need to warm it up a bit (because the candles gives more yellow light). This combined with the bluish light from the top will give even more contrast to the image. Nice shots and the mood is definitely there.

All the best,
Voja

I ve put the red chair... ...because scene without it is just "dead" . ( chair will be replaced for something more interesting - for now its just a concept which is still evolving ;) ) Chair is just "breaking" the image, from desaturated greyish dusty environment, and getting You all to look at it. :)

It could be even just a red big sphere, and still it would work like a chair. ( it would simulate the main character / main point of image ).

all the furniture and props will be replaced for better/stronger/more juicy models .

As for color correction... its still in development stage

I think on weekend I will get You a huge update :)

Thank You all for positive comments

it's looking great, the fluids look awesome. The horse (still a replacement or the final character?) it has a little plastic look, thou, just a minor complain, don't get me wrong, I love it.

Hey Mlody,

Here's a little bit of constructive criticism:

- try to somehow add just a tiny bit of spec highlight to the horse eyes (just to make them visible) so your comp will get a lot more depth. If it's challenging to get it using the lights, just fake it with the mix mat and gradient....
- these chains, don't make them so straight, add a little bit of "s" (a snake-like) shape. You can leave one or two straight (to show the tension) but make the rest more organic.

Other than that, it's truly a powerful piece of img.

All the best,
Voja
