Laaaadies and gentlemen, give a big applause for Charlie's own circus girls: The Charlie's Circus Angels.

Well, I wanted to do something with the heaviness of those blocks and before I knew there were elephants involved...

The pictures used for this entry are my own, check SBS for further information.

Mr Big [lvl 14] [vp 1000] [vote medals 196]:
avatar Mr Big excellent colors, and the blend is great. My only question is - The elephants are very strongly lit from behind. And while there ARE corresponding shadows along the basalt, they too are well lit from the front. Darkening those blocks in the front would affect the colors, but for me - both light sources leaves the pacaderm on the left to appear a little pasted. SUPERIOR entr; however.

5-steps guide for Charlie's Circus Angels:

Entry guide: step 1 of 5

Creation of Charlie's Circus Angels: Step 1

First the elephants. I made these pictures in the zoo (of course) while they received food. One of those elephants wanted to break his delicious meal.


Entry guide: step 2 of 5

Changed the colors of the elephants.


Entry guide: step 3 of 5

Creation of Charlie's Circus Angels: Step 3

Added some attributes. Cloth is just a drawing. I used the texture of one of those blocks to give it a bit more dimension.

The lowest elephant needed some extra changes. She missed a part of the trunk and I thought it was funny that she put one paw up...

Creation of Charlie's Circus Angels: Step 4

For the arena I used another picture, made in the same zoo. Copied-pasted, played a bit with it until I thought it was ok enough


Entry guide: step 5 of 5

Creation of Charlie's Circus Angels: Step 5

Because of the perspective I had to tke some extra blocks to show that the elephants were standing towards you. Also flipped it for having a coherent light source. Colored them all by hand, some have some extra textures.

Background is a combinatin of gradients and different clouds and there's also slightly a part of the blocks visible.

That's it.
