Dude! My soft spot is mechanical things, and this looks like a world war 2 bomber!
but...I'm giving you a 9 for pollution!! JOKES! 10 my man, you deserve it,
the shading of the whale-plane and the clouds is sweet, and it looks like you thought it out pretty well,
I say that, becuase, there are no hard shadows, is it cuz you knew the clouds bounce illumination up, or was it by chance? :D

wicked, i like it.

one thing i want to try that maybe you want to also, is when doing really awkward polygonal objects, like wings of planes and such, try using the polygon laso tool to make a little guide stencil, I've seen some sweet time lapse stuff of people using that as a short cut.

Yeah, Snips hit it, It's also great for doing concept art, like making cities and machine structures.

Oddly enough I was fooling around with ZBrush and trying to make something very similar. Nice work!
