This was completed for a 'heads project' due for college.
As soon as the project was handed out i had an instant image in my mind i simply had to do, regardless of whther it would fit my brief or not (which may end up costing me some marks, but who cares?). Since the Easter Islands heads are relatively simplistic in their design i focused quite a lot on texturing and the surrounding scene in an effort to compensate. If i have enough time i may even make another model and submit that instead. Who knows...
While this may not totally fit the category under which it is posted (mostly because the background elements are either painted or heavily altered photography plates) i still felt is was the most suitable.
I'd appreciate honest critique on this, any comments are welcome.

PS: sorry to all those who take the time to watch me; its been ages since ive released something, hopefully you'll like this. Ive just been bone lazy over the last couple of weeks. Did i say lazy? Busy, i mean.
this is one of the best projects ive seen that involved something akin to terragen or 3D modelling. its insightful, shows that you had a vision to begin with. the clouds look realistic, and the background fits with the foreground nearly seamlessly.
dont catch me up in a bear trap of hypocrisy here, i'm just a harsh critic. normally i hate terragen type art... because their lighting sources are all wrong or the colours are just plain not natural or something in the background doesnt match the foreground.
this albeit isn't terragen art, it accomplishes what that type of art hopes to achieve.
I absolutely loved this piece when you first showed it to me., and still do now. The perspective is so great, with the rolling hills and Easter Island monuments. I love it. This would make a great wallpaper...
I really like this - While I am no expert on this sort of art it appeals to me. nice attention to details all round and you gave it a good feeling of depth and I can almost hear the wind sweeping up from the valley, possibly whistling of the statues. Nice one!
ps are those people towards the last statues? What are they doing?
Looks awesome, the only thing I would suggest is blurring the statues in the background a bit more to give it a lil more depth. Maybe make the focus on the second one and blur the others based on distance.
The people are more for scale than anything else. While the foreground statue is meant to be the smallest i hope the subconscious image is that the statues grow in 'stature' (for lack of a better word) the further your eye travels in 3d space, hence the scale of the grass/wheat in the foregound plane.
The actual 3d geometry and placement is indeed quite warped and unporportional, even though the evenutual 2d image came out virtually the same way i intended it to.
