Description Critique and comments eagerly awaited.

A render of the emperor dragonfly, Anax Imperator.
Everything modelled and rendered in Cararra8.5. apart fromthe little fish. They were made in Sculptris and exported as .obj. Textures in GIMP.

Imaged updated according to suggestions. Better wings, better fish.

Maybe it's just me but I've never seen a 3D version of water in dA. This artwork is very original and cool.
You were able to put so many realistic details and it looks so good, took me some time to realize this is not a picture.

Thank you. I don't think you'd hve any problems finding water in 3D art here though.

You seem to possess a special talent for water scenes. Great, almost photorealistic. Only two things are telling that it is a CG image: the dragonfly wings are too reflective, and the fishes are too obviously copy-pasted.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do about the wings. I had some problems getting the rigging of the fish to work when I copied them and you obviously spotted that. I'll give it another shot. Thanks for taking the time.

Yeah, if these fishes are from Sculptris, they probably have awful topology and do not fit for rigging. Maybe try to use the Bend modifier (if Carrara has it) to adjust the fishes' poses. It should work fine regardless of topology.

Issues fixed. I actually had made a stupid mistake with the wings and left white between the nerve pattern. Fish with rigging imported in a somewhat non-obvious way but it worked. Again, Thx for the suggestions.
