3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

allisontaylor: Definitely a solitary empty mood. Yet the lighting and shadows do invite the viewer to be included.. Excellent thought provoking glimpse into the scene.

Logun7: Wow!! Chilling but a very good entry for the contest. My husband and I picked up a homeless man the other night, he told us there were 380 people in Johnson City Tennessee homeless....most of them veterans...what a shame:(

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

Jimbobedsel: Art museum stuff, John. Excellent!

Catharina1: Congratulation... this work is very good. Happy for you John! Mich

purmusic: Nice one, John.

Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.


And but of course, thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us.


p.s. Any use of displacement maps?

Looks to be, and if not and for your creative future consideration.. here you go, in case unawares:

Loads of other tutorials out there as well, the above one is quite succinct and concise.
