- Images: Levitae, Rik Oostenbroek via Behance. “Ever since seeing Avatar by James Cameron, for the first time I’ve been amazed by the night scenes in the woods of Pandora. As a artist I never really payed attention to sculpting more realistic things, but this idea kept knocking on the door for over 6 months. It’s a 50/50 combination of Adobe photoshop and Maxon Cinema 4D. All colors are real life painted canvasses and used as color map to make the color transitions more natural.”

Can’t decide which is more astounding…the beauty and creativity of his images or the fact that he’s attained this level of success at the age of 22. Go Rik!!
Yes to both!
Wow. On every level
22?! Unreal.
Yes. And I can’t draw a stick man.
ethereal
It is!
Avatar is the real world. I need to see it, today.
Thank you
Yes. You do. Today it is real.
It is exactly what the doctor prescribed!
Laughing….
Thanks for the laughs DK.
Also, this will be the 50th time I’m seeing it.
Wow!

Wow is right.
I am curious about the word ‘not’ that you added to the quote. The images are beautiful, by the way, whether unintentional or not.
In retrospect, you are right. “Not” has now been deleted!
Thank goodness! I thought I was imagining things.
I’m here to serve! 🙂
not bad for a 22-year old!
No kidding!
