Fantastic! I’m impressed with the lightning!
Very Nice! I love the ocean, it is one of the best I have ever seen.
One thing…there’s no lightkeeper’s house on the island! I pity whoever has to go and maintenence the lighthouse when/if it breaks. :evilgrin:
Sweet cripes. It’s gorgeous.
wow, thats awsome, congrats to the banner =)
5 stars!
Guess who’s using this as his wallpaper!
Angelina Jolie ?.. wait ! Uma Thurman !!!
EDIT: ahh… you said “his”… never mind
EDIT2: btw… thanks guys ! I’m glad you liked this thing 
is this a fluid sim?
beautiful work! - Istvan
beautiful work!
other than that all i have to say is i would love a .blend! could you post the file here please? if it is too big send me a pm and I’ll give you my-email so I can host it for you.

I wouldn’t have a problem sharing the blends used in this picture (yeah, more than one). I usually work one blend until a certain point when I feel I’d go faster if I just render every needed pass/renderlayer and composite everything on a clean file and keep on working on that file. You know things tend to get really messy with a couple renderlayers and some compositing.
BUT… If I collect everything and post it, it’ll be around 400 MB of material, which I don’t have the time nor the energy to upload anywhere…
However I will write a tutorial on the hot topics (I guess nobody cares about how I textured the lighthouse, more people would like to know how I did the splashes) and post a couple of sample blends to follow the explanations.
Is that good enough ?
Like I said, I can host the files for you if you send them to me. Are you able to e-mail them to me?
Nice job! I liked
Thats lovely, the clouds must have taken an age.
But why do I see north and south america in the moon? Probably my imagination,

Wow… I’m really a bloody n00b, so I actually have no clue, but did you post-produce this? The splashes against the rock have some smudge-tool air about them, am I right or am I n00b? 
Damn, I have to intensify my Blender studies. Then I could recreate my favourite paintings instead of paying for bad repros - at least if I can become a badass like malefico!
@Corniger: The image is indeed postproduced but actually not where you thought, the two splashes use directional blur from Blender. The smudged parts are noticeable in a couple waves in the ocean part and also in the rock edge to the right (subtle though) where I wanted the water to “merge” with it and I got a sharp rock edge instead. Best way to study is to practice a lot, keep it up !
@Arcis: the clouds are one of my favourite parts, it’s a matte I painted in Gimp and it took a while, yeah. It seems that the moon indeed had earth continents… maybe you discovered something there because it is really a picture of the moon… call the NASA !
Darn, that’s GOOD… directional blur, I would have bet my a$$ that was postproduced 
Lucky me - I didn’t. That must be a node effect… I’m keeping it up, rest assured. Stuff like this artwork make me want it triple.
Btw.: I read about you in Tony Mullen’s Blender book(s), so it feels good to have guys like you here that actually really still make the time to TALK to people. 2 thumbs up and my toes, too (you wouldn’t want my toes though, but still).
perfect

Beautifull render, not a place for living but would be nice to have a drink with friends there.
Fantastic mood. Love it
Awsome! Very nice lighting and composition.
Definitely the best 3d image made in Blender I have ever seen! Absolutely amazing! It’s like a pure digital art!
