Ice Yatch Racing

[cyphyr]

Here's a quickie
Rendered entirely in TG, no trickery compositing this time.
Originally the idea was to try to re-create Michael Moorcock's "Ice Schooner" in some form, which I still intend to do. But during my initial research (Googling Ice Yatch) I discovered that Ice Yatch Racing is a real sport popular in Scandinavia, well you just never know.
Comments and Critique welcome as always.

Very good.  It would be easy to assume this is a National Geographic photo.  The only critique I might have is the lighting isn't quite completely photograph-like.  But, hey...

I think the models and the ice are excellent  but i really think the clouds look unnatural and unfitting in this scene.

[cyphyr]

Yeah I do agree about the clouds, I'm working on another version using the techniques described in the "Ultimate" Cirrus clouds thread

The clouds are weird. With some changes in colouring you could turn them into the northern lights

[RArcher]

Great work, the ice turned out really good.  The only crit I have is that the models look just a little too perfect.  Can you add some scrapes and dents?

[Tangled-Universe]

Cool scene!
I think the snow and ice look very convincing already. However, the ice could be a bit less reflective.

Great scene, the clouds give it a Mojo look...
