Actually, it would be serveral...

So for the past two or three months, I've been working on and off on a render that was substantially blander when I first exported it from Bryce.

I've never completely liked it myself, but I've been forcing myself to keep working on it and to basically run with it. See where it leads. I drop my projects far to often because I'm overly harsh on myself.

Today, I think I've finally reached a point on this project that I'm happy with. The downside, is it still seems unfinished. Everytime I look at it, the image seems to be lacking something. I just can't place it though. So I figured I'd show it off here, get some feedback, and try and wrap it up.

I need suggestions as to what to possibly add or change, a title (I've been drawing total blanks), and of course, if you think it sucks or not.

I dislike the range of values. The purple particles from the explosions don't really work well with the colors. The white thunder could be more of a reddish color, to minimize the range.

Other than that, I personally liked it better before, without the blasts.

Nice to know what trying the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results looks like. :P

Question: Is it yours?
Answer: NO.

You can use it, but keep in mind it's pretty compressed right now, and it isn't done. There's a lot of little detail you can't see.

Just so you know, I'm not always shooting for 'OMQCOOL!!!11' when I do images like this. Sometimes I do it just to stretch my imagination a bit and see what I can do with whatever comes out of the render. This was kind of a mixture.

Cool, how much more? I look forward to improvements.

I tend to speak my mind, I like strange stuff, nothing twisted but stuff like this which comes from imagination.

Strange yet amazing the human mind and what it can generate.

Not sure. Probably not much more.
