Hi!
My first work rendered in Octane. Everything was created in Zbrush, pathtracing kernel, daylight environment + some postprocess in PS.

Welcome to Octane Adrian. It is a decent first render. Allow me to be your art director for a moment: [1] A door guarded by two men like these should be a little more impressive than this -- at least another 4' taller.. These dudes look like they are guarding an elevator at the MGM Grand... [2] It lacks depth. Try to get some more features sticking out. Use some displacement. Maybe cast some more shadows into scene. [3] There is just not enough color variation. I understand you are shooting for warm sunset, but that does not mean everything needs to be completely awash in orange/yellow. [4] Photographers and DP's avoid having their camera at normal eye level for a reason: It is as boring as all hell...Try lowering (or maybe even raising way up) the camera and go a little more wide angle (18mm-24mm), to give a little more oomph...

Can't wait to see round two.
