we must be looking at different work. I don't think I have seen better!

I guess well all have different tastes.....which is a good thing not a bad thing.....as the world would be a boring place if we were all the same.

The main reasons I think it's not awesome is the lighting & texturing. The renders look a bit flat & lifeless at times due to those two things. The camera angles are also too architectural, ie boring.

I do by the way think they are quite good ......just not awesome! that's all

All the best

It would be interesting to see what people think is awesome. Post a link to your most favorite illustrator, I would love to see.

I agree with Erik, Luxigon and MIR are my favorite.
Interestingly, I read in an interview that their images are about 25% render, 75% photoshop.
Every time I try to imitate that, my image breaks, the more I fiddle around with photoshop, the worse my work gets.

It looks like they have a lot freelancers working for them...the renderings have different quality and style.
