Well here it is, but now in a finnished state.


First pics shows the scene without the scenic lighting.








The next two ones are with the lights provided in the box.






And finally heres the box with its frame and title:
"Symphaty for the Devils.."

All I can say is woooooow

I simply cannot give another statement to that. The shadowbox captures the exact atmosphere that time must have had.
I love all the details you have put in there from the little oil lamp on the wall to the broken flowerpot and extra points are added for the dishes under the pots. Simply amazing. The lights bring the whole scene alive.

Superb workmanship

Nice touch with the knocked over flower pot. Shadowboxes are a lot of work to do and you pulled it off beautifully.

It is a superb piece of work, you clearly have a great eye for detail. I noticed there is even a cleaner patch of the floor where the rug has been pulled back - exquisite!

At risk of being barred from the forum I think I may have spotted just one small thing that could (possibly) be improved on... The banister uprights don't look quite vertical to me

I will now duck my head as I feel awful to nitpick such an excellent artwork, which is far beyond anything I could hope to achieve.

Congratulations!

Stunning Toke. Ive seen figures with photshop backgounds, but none have looked as good as this .... the scene is simply ... as good as it gets. Everything is sooo natural and realistic. The whole execution and attention to every detail, figure poses, the clean patch where the mat has been moved from, the trees outside, etc. etc. ... just wish this was mines!

At least I know I´ll have the pleasure of seeing this in the flesh some day .. hopefully soon. All the best.

Although all I could see was two photos, (seems I got the dreaded Bandwith exceeded message, hopefully tomorrow, I get to see them before this happens) What I saw was excellent, and hightly impressive.

Ok, this beats my computer/internet knowledge. Which wasnt much to begin with.

Lets hope they get back, as Im leaving soon for World Expo in Boston I might not have the time to fix it.

Excellent peice of work. Hope to see you in Boston. The forecast is for ideal summer weather by the weekend, not the warm, soggy, gray mess we're having right now.
Will you be bringing this with you?

I have seen the 'in progress' shots of this project, and impressive it was. But now I only see boxes stating that my monthly bandwith has been exceeded?


Cheers
