Redrobes - Great entry. I especially like the fact that you've attempted to depict an actual object. The 3D aspect is really cool.

Don't know if you consider this a WIP or not, but I would suggest a couple of things:

1. The tecture of the various materials look good, but the gemstones (particularly the dark gray stone) seem to float above the tablet vice being embedded in or placed on it. If there is a way to fix that, I think that it would be worth your time.

2. To my eye, everything looks "real" as if I could reach out and touch it--with the exception of the marble itself around the edges. It looks less than real. Again, if there is a way to fix that, I think that it would be worth your time.

With both of those being said, even if you didn't make either change, it is a tremendous entry.

One question: Does the text translate? I assume that it does, since it looks like you've used Norse runes. Care to translate for us, or do we need to do it ourselves?
