That is some damn fine water work- it looks so clear and fresh, very natural looking with the bits of debris in it too and I always like water that you can see things through like the rock bed you have below it here. The figures are excellent too- nicely placed and posed and the horses are beautifully rendered.

Amazing, this has to be one of the best I have seen this year. That water is perfect.

This little "piece of water" is simply amazing!!
Knowing very well how difficult it is to depict water in a realistic manner, I cannot but congratulate you!!

You have done it!!!!!!

Thanks for posting the pics. Actually I would love to see a few more, maybe even a little closer!???

Cheers

Romain,

Sorry for the delay in the answer.
I selected some photos from the beginning of the work. Before using the resin, I glued some transparent sprues with white glue, and then put the resin. It’s important to put the sprues before, becouse the resin will flow over it, given a better aspect for it. After the resin, I used a transparent 3D paint to make the waters waves, Before its dry, the visual aspect it’s not good, but after it’s much better. I hope I have helped.

First thing that hits home is the water effect and its hard to focus on anything else after that. Superb!!
The groundwork and figures look to be well done as well .... would have preferred the background tree to be finished in a summer bloom as well to match the green of the bushes and ground work. The autumn effect with a few leaves left doesn´t fit the scene properly in my opinion. This would also have provided a natural background to your scene.
