Yes, those figures are certainly cool. Where did they come from? I especially like the guy with the hat and cigar..... It definitely tells a story now, but shouldn't the name be "Prohibition"?

The Pier area looks stunning and gives the scene some great depth... Im envious of your skills bud.

Well done here!

The weathering on the wood looks very good. I really like the moss on the pillars.

Great groundwork too!

Cheers

Rafal, being from N.Y. originaly and a driver, Iv'e been down to the old piers alot. You really have captured the look and feel of them. The only thing that stands out that seems out of place/scale is the shell, quite large; but then I'm not sure where this is taking place and shells are of different sizes around the world. But anyway, this is really coming together well and you can almost smell the salt air and fear from the condemed,( if that figure has his hands tied behind him)just looking at it. Very well done so far and a pleasure to see a dio not normaly seen.

Nice color Choice Rafal- I think it suits the weathering very well, so you can see every ding, dent and spot!

Volkan, first acrylic as base colors, then oils to shade.
Resin as a water- bad thing... new - bottom, fishes & all mess to do, and cutting off pier

Car almost finished/galery ver.1.0:

This is jaw-droppingly good Rafal- I certainly wouldn't like to get into a tiny boat like that in a fairly choppy sea!
You've really conveyed the scene well- the sea is excellent and the colors from the wood to the car to the clothes are so vivid but not massively overstated. The way the eye is drawn down along the boardwalk too is great. Stunning work.

An absolute masterpiece. Your colors blend into the story without overpowering it. You water, very well done, some of the best I've seen. It's been a joy watching this one come together.
