Excellent. I'm a big fan of textures that blend colors like dithering.
& edge-highlights. Awesome. I can learn something from this.
What was the miniature ver. in the top-right for? To check composition/readability?
-
This is genuine eye candy. Well executed, although I think it looses something with the global AA. I like some sharp lines in big pieces like this, like in the second to last image.
Honestly, not much I can offer in the way of critique. What I can offer is ego gratification, which I think you deserve. So here, take it.
-
Yeah, that deserves some gratification indeed ;D Awesome job
-
Oh wow that is gorgeous. I really like the colors, and how well put together this piece is, beautiful work you've done there.
-
Ain't no hidden messages there nope. ;)
-
Inspiring design. Cromlech is it? Wouldn't be as cool if it was legible I suppose.

thank you, everyone!

something like that, I had a real-time miniature in the software all along, but also wanted to check how it would look with the fat outline as watched from a distance -- and just forgot to erase that, i guess. :)

thank you! yeah, I could leave some 45 degree lines untouched, but in the end I wanted to smooth out all the curves -- pretty much rushing the whole aa. in fact, when I'm thinking of such mild aa (which makes the picture almost vector-like), I always recall that big slain giant (there was also some chick on top of him) piece of yours! :)
@.TakaM, :D
@Mathias, no, it reads 'skw', short for 'skurwy'; cromlech as in this sense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromlech), pertains to the material, the blocks themselves.

That's funny, I see a C, R and O on the left, but the rest gets lost for me . . because I was looking for the wrong letters all along. Never heard of cromlech, but dolmens yes.
-
I see a C A T V and an I or U.
This piece is really flawless IMO. Great job.

Hehe, after your first message, I was also trying to read it in this way, and to my surprise it's almost possible -- I got lost at ECH, though -- you can see an M, but it looks like a greek Pi. :)
MadHatter, thanks! :) There's also a rotated F under the K -- but I've noticed it just before texturing ;)
-
This is really good! I liked the Aa version if if I'm not a huge fan of aa but a few lines just looked too choppy without it.
I personally read dTw. Either way it's an interesting piece. :y:
