Description
What is an Inspiration and where it comes from?Words define inspiration as a stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.
...
How hard we try to drescribe something that cannot be seen or quantify?
For me inspiration means that something that make you brain click and assemble stuff on his own, like riding an endless wave with a tornado fueling your sails.
This whole picture is an inspiration and a tribute to one of my favourite musicians of all time: Joe Satriani.
When I listen to his music, I really can boost my mood and works and I really wanted to make this picture since ages
Please leave a comment if you feel but bear in mind this are my first attempts of heavy postworking on 3D renders.
Special Thanks Goes to and to
Nathan Furian @ExGemini Silver Surfer @Marvel Comics
Story, background and idea @ExGemini

This is, for sure, you best render of all times.
Silver Surfer looks very good but Nathan is the best ... what a piece of an hunk! Surf me up darling!!!

Thank you my dear dear Isabella
I agree on the fact that it's my best render of all times ... I was so much inspired by music and all the rest
I'll surf you up all the time you wants dear

Aha, just like on your computer there, you were trying to tell the future! *gasps*
Never heard anybody here seek into the meaning of the word inspiration but now you ought to know how I feel every time getting to see the wonders and amazing pieces you make here my friend.
Can vouch for music being a powerful force, if not than why do so many gamers play it in the background?
Nevertheless a very movie piece lad, the way you dazzle and utilize your lighting skills and simply the sense of shine and gleam from both characters is truly remarkable.
Once again another leap onto the pro direction with your art and making us of every tool to create such rich and yet so smooth details that it astonishes the eye while still not overpowering anything in the image.
Love the way you bring out the full force of Nathan and Silver Surfer here, they both seem to feel like a Ying and Yang grace to them but once again the glowing energy and emitting lights, its a true masterpiece lad.
As many already have mentioned one of your most spectacular pieces yet, nuff said. *applauses and whistles*

When I took the picture, yes there was this picture in photoshop for the postworking
I try hard to punch out of screen with my picture and, now and then, I succeed
This picture is probably the most inspired and drive that I've ever done
I don't mind rendering boobs every time but sometimes I like to make myself (Nathan) in the picture, and this one really bring out my feeling for freedom and fun.
Anyway both Silver and Nathan are surfing back to The Island, so the next renders will take place again on Boobies land

Glad it all ended up working out for you in the end lad and indeed and very fine piece to be proud of, bet you would make even the comic books artists cry cause its so damn good. *nods*
Hey your free to express yourself anyway you please lad, I strongly support people like that here for the reason they don't become a bunch of wankers with their own head shoved up their ass, lol.
Besides you gotta really have fun with your artwork and do an extra toast for this crab too when you get there, luckily for Surfer though is that he'll already be the shiniest thing on the beach, lol.

Why? Did they have a surfer poster in it?
π: 0 β©: 1
No they have an actual full on Surfer model hanging in the store

Indeed when he opened the store and saw that it was available he knew what the store name and logo would be. He also had an in with Doug Jones and if they had made the solo Silver Surfer movie was going to get him to come in for a signing

I dont know how much but I do know he knows a good marketing opp when he sees one

so bene quanto ti ha tirato in ballo quest'immagine quindi spero piacerΓ a molti! Dannato Silver e la sua pancina riflettente 
Complimenti e grazie
che dici Nath puΓ² passare a prendermi al volo della sua tavola

Uno deve cercare di migliorarsi ogni volta credo ...
Ma presto tornerΓ² a renderizzare qualche bel pezzo di figliola, specie ora che ho una bella macchina con cui abbinare tutte le gnoccone
Io penso che se gridi forte, ti sentono tutti e due e ti prendono su

This is so cool! Love how the textures turned out! Great image!

I guess you could say that is all in the postwork, this time, and thank you very much! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Your welcome! Doing the postwork is my favorite part. hehe It's so much fun just letting your image evolve and take on it's own character. Yea!
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree with you but, sometimes, it's hard to keep track of what you want to do and what you are actually doing on the screen.
Plus I always find myself messing around too much, risking to overdo the picture a little
π: 0 β©: 1
hehe, that's true. But I like messing around in there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Totally agree with you
Sadly(for me) you works are way beyond my skills. I was thinking to pick up Vue and learn some basics, you know to use some nice landscapes
π: 0 β©: 1
hehe, it's because I play so much in PS.

This is incredible Now we know why you haven't posted recently. You were busy crafting this masterpiece.

Nonono
Well a little yes. Took me some good days to come up with the postwork special effects that were half decent to look at but I just passed through a very hard "artistic block" if you know what I mean.
I'm just glad you guys like this stuff even if there are not boobs involved
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the lack of boobs has a simple remedy. Just have Nathan spend a little time with Galactus's other herald, Frankie Raye a.k.a. Nova.

That could do, but I think I'll go back to the Island, lots of ladies there waits for some love

Like the lovely Diana? I really hope you two work things out soon.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm afraid "lovely Diana" is not on The Island anymore ...
The last time I heard anything about her was from her mother Polly. Diana is currently on Themyshira

Great work Ex!!!
Now the question is... can they handle the killer wave of a supernova and not wipe out?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks
Mmh I say not. Nothing can really withstand a supernova explosion or even the aftermath.
If they are probably like many many many light years away, maaaybe they can ride the wave, but I stress the maybe
π: 0 β©: 0
Thanks buddy, probably it comes from a great inspiration too
I'll probably be back to render boobs in no time now
π: 0 β©: 0
I love the detail.
A bit of nightblindness for me, so hard to tell all shades, but love the detail on the human physique (Veins popping and ll) you give.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's all in the details
I'm glad you like this render ... It didn't took me much time for the actual render but let's say some good days of postwork, try and try and try again
