I like it. I love the good 'ol "anything goes, abstract art" myself as well.
Since you asked for criticism I'll tell the few things that come mind for me.
- The object needs to have more of a presence in the scene. Making it larger would help, but I'm not just talking about size. It needs to stand out more from it's surroundings. Maybe if it were more crisp or sharply in focus. Or possibly some different colors or patterns to draw attention to it.
- The background really feels flat. Kinda takes the life out of the 3D environment. I don't know how your 3D program works, but in PoV-Ray what we usually do to keep far away backgrounds (often skies & clouds but even just colored & abstract) from looking flat is to use the inside of HUGE spheres to map our textures or colors to. Not perfectly round spheres, but more kinda elongated and squished. Then place the scene inside those spheres in such a way that we only see about a quarter or less of the inside of the sphere. The camera would be approx at the center of the sphere, so the sky's highest point is directly above the camera. As the camera looks down the landscape the sky would then gently slope down. And even more gently slope down to the left and the right as well.
Don't know if that makes sense to ya. And of course your piece IS abstract so it can look however you damn well want it to look.
But those are just my observations.
Also, if your 3D program does it, you can really exaggerate and bring out a 3D environment even in the most abstract of scenes by using focal blur. I have a perfect example of what I mean
here. Even though there are literally thousands of black cubes in that scene, by using focal blur with sharp focus only on the one close cube it not only directs the viewer's eyes to a focus point but it practically makes that point jump right out of the image. Check this out as well,
this is the exact same scene but with those cubes stretched into pillars and now with a flowing marble texture instead of the abrasive stone texture.
Anyways, I don't mean to start talking about
me and
my images, I'm just trying to give ya my perspective on the subject. Maybe some helpful insight for ya somewhere amongst my ramblings.
