Wow, i realy did not expect that nice and good feedback - thanks a lot guys for all that kind words, means a lot to me cause the artist around here realy know what they are talking about!

@chrisvis: you got a realy got eye for details and you are right about that dark border of the arm. the reason for that was that i had no surrounding image which fit to the backplate so i took a random garden image, turned it till i was happy with the overall reflections, on that spot the surrounding image seems to have a dark spot behind the arm which the final image you can see behind does not... :/

@martincarlson: indeed the clients wish was a style for the gnomes inspired by the movie "gnomes" (for the female) - but i want to say that my image of course does not reach the quality of the movie-characters from "gnome" - im aware of that but not sad about till i know i had 2 days, the makers of "gnomes" probably took longer to develop their characters - which does not mean i would be able to reach those quality

again, thx for watching and all that kind words,
happy rendering guys!

So gorgeous!

Wish more people share their stuff here. This forum is bit quiet.

Wow! Great work! Thanks for sharing

Hi Stahlwolle,
so it is from a dark spot of the HDR Image. I faced similar "problems", so I had an eye for it .
You might see this while preview rendering, if you are using your backplate image as a background layer inside C4D. I think there is a thread or a sample scene somewhere from aoktar, where he describes how to use it with octane, if you don`t already know.

Happy rendering and looking forward to see more from you,
Greetings,
ChrisVis

wonderful,
a few more camera angles or a close up shot would be nice to see

for that arm, you should just render the gnomes on their own layer, create a mask in photoshop, unlink the mask from the layer and nudge the arm area of the mask to the right a couple pixels until that dark edge disappears. add a little bit of feathering to and you won't even notice it. maybe add a bit of back glow on that left side too.

great image.

Awesome! Love the detail in the texturing and cracking, very nice.
