i think youre right. Lately i have been making more and more complex scenes but in the end, what i think im doing is overstuffing the images. Watching it now, i think there are too many things going on the scene but i havent been able to make it interesting. Too many things and nothing in concrete. Also i think i have been making very dark images. Very dark that you cannot see what in fact should be the main focus of the scene. Thanks for your comment.

overstuffig is never a problem, just not to forget where the main focus is, is sometimes hard

I don't think it matters how cluttered a scene is, it's all about the composition. If the composition is good, the image will be good, and the viewer will get the point. The viewers eyes should naturally follow along a path to the point of interest. If your eye is not led to that point , it could seem pointless or just plain busy. There was at one time, a really interesting article on composition over at RDNA, that was 4 or 5 years ago though, I took a quick look right now, but couldn't find it. If you are interested in composition, Rosity has a art theory forum. It might be well worth looking into.

Shadows make a image extremely interesting, go beyond that and you've lost the viewers interest. When I first got into 3D stuff, I purchased a book called "Lighting & Rendering, by Jeremy Birn. There was a lot of interesting info, each chapter had a exercise for you to enforce that chapters subject.

My advice ....... lighten up
I think that if you improve the composition and introduce shadows, you'd come up with some kick ass renders

The Crawling Chaos

After doing somewhat complex scenes that in the end were focused to nothing, heres a very simple render. It just appeared in vue while testing the figure. Just a show off of the new guy in the Mythos line. Or maybe is just an old one that has returned. Ladys and gentlemen, the Crawling Chaos... Nyarlatothep.
Thanks for past coments

The Innsmouth Effect

I saw a band of uncouth, crouching shapes loping and shambling in the same direction; and knew that this must be the party guarding the Ipswich road, since that highway forms an extension of Eliot Street. Two of the figures I glimpsed were in voluminous robes, and one wore a peaked diadem which glistened whitely in the moonlight. The gait of this figure was so odd that it sent a chill through me - for it seemed to me the creature was almost hopping --HP Lovecraft - The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

I did a basic texture using Les (sixus1) tutorial on texturing V4 and used parts of the Aquarians to portrait the old man in advanced state of mutation in the back.
Hope you like it, thanks for watching and comments.

Very nicely done, the street lighting is superb.
