Description
Cutting light, the strongest light bulb there is. Cutting through wood, concrete and stone in just moments.I've never really been working much with smoke and fire, so I wanted to create this photo as an experiment. So the idea is that the light is so strong that it cuts through anything. How do you think the different parts comes together? Any thoughts on changes or improvements, whatever comes to your mind I would be happy to hear!
Eg. what about the chair, better with or without? I think I got the cut right based on this simple sketch: Have a look at this: [link]

Why is that man not at least a little alarmed by this? Amazing job, I love your work!

well, I think the manΒ looks too calm as if it is just an ordinary thing

Great! But one thing irritates me: Why does the man look totally relaxed? That is totally unappropriate for the inferno!

If the light instantly burns everything, there has to be very dense smoke clouds (which expands in extremely high velocity) in the shape of the objects that where burnt. And because these clouds are in the light, they would be enlighted from this extreme bright light. I think this would be very complex to imagine, because this clouds were then like lighting objects itself and also half clear objects which can passed by light partly.
But this realization is also mindblowing

That is WILD!Β I would assume that for the light to do what it does in "Cutting light", It must be like a laser of some kind but then it would have to be so much wattage that you couldn't be too close around it without wearing full, extreme-heat resistant protective gear and goggles.

I am absolutely fascinated by the theory of a chemical relationship between light particles and matter of other than it's kind. The chair serves a purpose as showing the chemical reaction of combustion in effect at that moment of time. I have one small opinion concerning the brightness of the room. Due to the size of the room with the amount of exposed light particles, the room should be considerably brighter. Thank you for sharing, I am amazed by your art.

this is awesome i really like how the chair looks like its falling into the light and therefore more of it is burning simply amazing

I really like what I've seen from you so far, but this is only acceptable as an experiment (not that I could create anything this good 
Furthermore, a room with that bright a light-source shouldn't be anywhere near this dark. If I'd made this picture I'd have made the lower part of the room so bright that the light almost completely eliminates the perception of color, even the roof should be well lit and the man should be shielding his eyes, taking a reflexive step back while casting a long shadow out into the next room. I'd have made the flames much smaller but more intense, made all the edges white hot like on the chair falling and included a minimum of smoke (because those particles would burn up very fast, so no smoke in the circle and only a little outside).
But you should definitely do more fire stuff

thanks for the feedback, yes it's a bit experimental

Another superb image!
(And since you ask, I think the chair is a nice touch but not quite right - would look better tipped over at a greater angle so that the cut through the back wasn't so suspiciously perpendicular to the chair itself)

i love the touch of the chair! beautiful work, the one part that catches my eye as looking a little strange is where the other chair is burning just at the corner - the flames and smoke there look odd somehow, perhaps it's the scale/size of them? otherwise, a beautiful piece of work, I'm always excited to see new art from you
I recently watched your TED talk, what an inspiration! keep up the mind-bending work hehe

I think the chair just adds to the extremeness of the overall haha. Amazing work again man.

is it rly done by photoshop ??? ..or you used some 3d Renders? ...its just so amazing ..im like

all photoshop, layers on layers on layers or smoke, fire and interior

amazing! one hell of a light...
the odd thing may be the black smoke on the fire on the right side of the ring
also if the smoke near the chair (left one, near the door) and the smoke on the corner of the opened door (left side, near the head of the man, on the blue wall) was real, it'd be more visible, and cover more what's behind

good points, I didn't want to put too much smoke in there but it would probably be more realistic with a lot more smoke

just a little more "covering", if you know what I mean

Stunning! As always there is no need for any change

Wow, that's one badass light bulb ( I want one)
Great work man
Oh and I say leave the chair, it's a great detail

Cool!! Everything looks great! The only thing that looks off to me is the smoke right under the light... It almost looks furry. o.o; Or like a gray bush or something. But I imagine smoke can be hard to manipulate, and everything else is awesome.
