Description
I put emphasis on concept. I think it even came out slightly abstract. I hope you like it.PS: In case someone mistakes this at first glance for a photograph, it is not, it is a 3D rendering. I strived for realism, but if you look closely you can for sure see this.

I like your concept, as well as the execution.
I think the way you have placed the legs gives a really good composition to your image, and the dark background really adds to this.
I think the shading is quite good on most parts, except of under the right knee (knee on the left) it is a little weird.
I think the upper part of the righter leg (just above the knee) is not thick enough, which gives it a slightly odd look.
I like the marble, however a shine through marble would have probably been a little more interesting.

It does look very realistic! I really like the composition, nicely balanced

The legs are nicely modelled and I love the reflectiveness of the '
A good pic

I really like this. It's an interesting concept, and the dark background does a great job of adding contrast from the the legs and the marble.
Just a couple of points I want to point out.
First of all, the texture of the legs seem slightly off. Right now, they're looking more static-y than porous. I do like the colors, but it just needs a little push to reach the next level. =d (Btw, they're very well-shaven. xD)
Secondly, though not very important, the thinness of the legs really bothers me. I'm not entirely familiar with anatomy, but logically the leg muscles should be some of the largest muscles in the human body, since they support its entire weight. There's also that lump right above the knee that looks... strange.
Although I have no complaints about the reflection and lighting in the marble itself, it's not really special. Try adding more reflective elements into it by imagining more in the background behind the observer. It makes it a bit more interesting and adds depth. The marble also doesn't really seem like it's resting on the leg, but rather separated from it. That might just be my opinion though. >_o
All in all, this is a very lovely piece and shows a lot of talent from you, the artist. However, it lacks some last element... one that would make me favorite it. Just one more step until the extraordinary, although I can't tell you what that is. My only advice: continue experimenting. And a very nice job. ^^

You're right, I thought it was a photograph. In fact, I still do! It's very very cool, very nicely done.

i like the mix of the sharp ball against the blurred legs. does it mean anything in particular?
you should do more body rendering like that!

As the titel says, this piece is about balance in various ways, it's nice that you discovered that I also tried to balance out sharpness and blurr.

wow very nice modeling on the legs, as the others said, you can add something on it like more colours and effects, will be awesome and it's already a good job

I like it...the ball gives a sense of balance that might be disturbed at any moment...quiet before the storm, so to speak.

Its interesting...but boring at the same time....Marble shows nothing for the imagination to think about. the leg are colored very nicely but once again boring to look at...Maybe if you put some sort of reflection in the marble it would make less boring to look at.
Mind you this is personal opinion......

The detail in the skin and underlying tissue is astounding. The composition is nice, too. However, I think you could do much more with the concept. As it stands there is a, albeit very nice, pair of legs with a black background and a marble on them. At least place them on a couch, on a cloth, something like that, give them a place in space. And you could definitely make the marble more interesting, like have it a multicoloured catseye marble, and have a strong light hitting it from the upper right, splaying the distorted light across part of the straight leg, creating more shadows and drawing more attention to those wonderful lags you've created. That's my idea anyways

Nice idea, but this would be a compleatly different image.

I've looked at some of your stuff before, and you're constantly getting better. it's amazing to see. you may want to blurr the highlights on the legs a bit, but other than that, it looks like a photo

wow, i really thought it was a photograph to!
nice one!

Wow...also das ist echt toll. Ich dachte ja erst das es ein Foto ist, aber naja...die Kategorie sagt ja was anderes. Ich kann gar nicht glauben, dass die Beine auch gerendert sind. Die sehen eher aus wie gemalt. Echt toll. Und das Konzept ist auch super umgesetzt.

Very nice. The composition works really well in this piece, and the reflective ball adds an intriguing point of interest. Exposure is fantastic.
Overall an excellent piece!

the vein on the arm's elbow is odd; generally, if it's that prominent along the upper arm, it's prominent in the crease of the elbow as well, but instead it dissapears abruptly into the arm before the crease. Or maybe it's not intentionally resembling a vein, and it's some bad polys, heh.

it's easy to rotate both legs inward (sitting cross-legged, etc.) but the degree the legs can rotate outward is much smaller. If these are both legs, then they cannot be the same person, unless it is one with a broken pelvis. On the other hand, you can interpret it as an arm in the foregound and a leg in the background, in which case the position is actually humanly possible (person spread eagle). Anyway, even if it is a leg, you shouldn't be seeing a vein there at all, and you wouldn't the tendon there unless the muscle build is significantly more developed.

Trust me, I test all poses I give characters myself.
I confess this is at the edge of what I can do, but it is on purpose at the edge. And it is hard to balance a ball this way.

I would have complemented the photography job had I not read the description.
WOW.

Great job, I actually like this very much, Its actually creative in a world where every piece of art seems familiar. I'd suggest maybe working on the smudging tools when softening the 3d models, I know is a pain, but with practice it can be done. If it was because of those smudges I would've been 100% abstracted

Thanks a lot, a compliment from an awesome artist like you count's twofold.

It looks pretty interesting. Something i've never seen before.

Interesting, you have definatly done well in shaping the legs and showing correct skin tone and muscle structure. Though the subject is odd...i can see the leg is balancing a ball, though what concept does this reflect, am i just being blind? Technically sound, visualy odd
π: 0 β©: 1
There is balance at least in two layers. The obvious balanced ball and the aesthetic balance I tried to put in the image itself. Well, actually you only think you can see a leg balancing a ball. I did my best to achieve this illusion. The image you see is not complete, the true image is formed in your mind with help of expirience and perception. So the reason you fail to find a concept is that you just sarch in the wrong place.

very cool . i like the reflection in the ball.
π: 0 β©: 0
I could have sworn that was a photo. The colours, tone of the skin are very warm and natural. The ball is maybe a little strange as it is though still well done.
Have you thought of adding more in the reflection of the ball?

thanks, Yes I have thought about adding more in the reflection of the ball. E.g the distorted reflection of the imaginary photographer. But I decided not to do it, at least not in this picture.

Good work!
Especially on the muscles of the legs

I like it a lot. Very well done. But if it's not a photograph, you should look for the correct category

make a suggestion I am about to shift it around, there just seems nothing fitting except misc.
