Texture is very cool, doesn't look like sand, but very cool nonetheless...
Sad you didn't finish it in time, would have been a winner!
Very well done! If this would have been in the challenge I totally would have voted for it.
I remember you did this in the mimic challenge. Good job =)
The original plan was to have strong black shadows (best seen on the head) but that kinda failed :I
@Long: agreed. I'm not too happy with how scrappy a lot of the lines in the sand are either.
Looking great! ^__^
Have you considered replacing the black with something browner? The black seems a bit too stark in comparison to the image's other colours.
I like everything about this except the sudden transition form fully detailed sand-dune to no detail at all, maybe the middle one could have some kind of "intermediate pattern" to ease the transition of the foreground layer to the middleground layer.
I would like to travel inside this...
