I have to agree. Everything about it is wonderful.

Long render time but worth every minute, one beautiful and stunning render.

 

[Dan30]

Thank you kindly everyone, I had a lot of fun creating that image. I am really glad you like it so much.

What an inspiring thread! I don't know how I have missed it for so long. @Dan30 your artwork is stunning! Thank you for sharing your portfolio with us here at the Hive. I am looking forward to seeing what else you create!

My submission for the 12th Annual Open Rendering Season Contest 2018. Unlike last year, this render I wanted to be a harsh reminder of the tragedy caused to the marine environment and its wildlife by our mindless and irresponsible garbage pollution, especially plastic pollution. It is not meant to be a nice image, but a close depiction of a sad reality of our days.
I named it "Surviving the Garbage Tide" I hope this will inspire other contest participants in making more meaningful and on the environment protection topic renders. Here it is:

Wonderful Dan. That is one great render.

 

[Hornet3d]

WOW, I second that.

Well, I was gonna try to get an entry in this year, but maybe I will give up now.

 

[Dan30]

Thank you all so much

@3wComics Thank you, I take it as a flattering joke, I hope you don't really mean it.

great render... is that a morphing net?

and where did you get it from.. been looking for a good one for ages or did you model it?

 

[Dan30]

@Stezza No, it is not a morphing net. It is from a fishing boat model I have. Just pulled it and streched it to fit my needs.

 

[Rae134]

wow Dan, that's awesome (and kinda on the same wavelength as the one I just finished rendering, now I don't think I'll submit it)

 

[Hornet3d]

wow Dan, that's awesome (and kinda on the same wavelength as the one I just finished rendering, now I don't think I'll submit it)

What and deprive us all of some great renders and some variation?

 

[3WC]

I will still submit mine, if I have time to finish it.

 

[CWRW]

Wonderful, Dan! And a great and important message too.

 

[Dan30]

Thank you so much, I've been having an overwhelmingly positive response for my image. Surely, it has to do with the message I am trying to reiterate. And I am quite glad it did, showing once more how much conveying a good, strong idea matters in art.
I look forward to see what will other contest participants come up with.

Thank you kindly Pen. Glad to see my progress is noticed and is not just in my imagination. Still a long way to go...
