Few sketches of the main ships .

[3DZukini]

Damn man, that's some awesome sketch rendering....awesome concepts too! Not sure now that I should even enter this contest:shrug: . I'll still give it a shot, but I'll keep an eye on this thread for sure.......wow........

[AirbORn]

I am lost for words, great renderings. I can't wait to see what your composition will be like.

What do you plan on doing?

[unitstudio]

Wow, what an entrance you've made there. Great concepts and execution. I particularly like the first of ther two - it has a monolithic sense of scale that's somewhat lacking with the 2nd. Also it resembles in my mind a Spanish galleon - there a strong nautical elements which work particularly well.

nice!
g

[HieSpike]

looks very nice, were these drawn on cg geometery??

[Mr. Glass]

Man, those are just superb. With that talent I'm surprised you're not in the 3d comp. How long have you been illustrating, and did you go to school for them skills?

[JTD]

That ship on top is one of my favoritest designs of all time! Probably has to do with the fact that it looks a little like a train (I love trains). But you've made it more unique than this little mind of mine can fathom. Geez, I'm biased now. Hope you go all the way, Andrew.:thumbsup:

[MechaHateChimp]

Serious sketching skills... if your sketches are this good youre gonna kill it with your final illustration.

[ViDA]

Thank you all for a warm welcome ! These were sketched on paper then refined on photoshop.

My goal is to present a futuristic cityscape with a spectacular brand new ship departure gone horribly wrong. So in the course of this competition you will see concepts of small ships , ground vehicles , concepts of buildings etc.

Mr. Glass (http://www.cgtalk.com/member.php?u=108132) : No man , self tought. Im afaraid that it would be impossible for me to attend a serious US industrial design school (Im in Canada ) as it bears an impossible financial burden .

[siufay]

Holy cow!!! That's an amazing sketch. You got some good values to give it a good 3d feel!

[WeevilMan]

really inspirational work there. i think what works for me is the sense of weight, as though the cylindrical areas on the side are honestly holding the entire craft upright. theres a great sense of depth to the design also, the details within the carapace giving it the sense of reality it needs.
the second craft to me seems a little too boxy, almost piecemealed together. if that is the sense you are going for, then kudos. i sometimes find that gives a very human impression.
Enough of my baseless ramblings, well done!

fantastic visualisation, best of luck on the project :D

[DaVee]

superb,
I thought my final render could have the same render of your sketches.
Snif...

David.:thumbsup:

[flyingP]

those are stunning designs, and REALLY beautifully rendered !!

Themed fighter concept for the final rendering.

[ViDA]

Thanks for your response guys , really apprituate it.

[duddlebug]

Absolutely incredible ship designs!! I love that fisrt concept... the tonal values are so bang on.

And it does have a 'train' look to it... mixed with a oil tanker... or something. WHo knows?? Except it's one of the best ship consepts i've see in this challenge.

The new concept is great too... love 'em...

The idea for the final image sounds pretty spectacular... And if it's filled with design of this quality i can't wait to see it all fleshed out!! Gonna keep a real close watch on this thread!!

[Ranath]

your most recent concept.. I couldn't do stuff like that even if I worked weeks with it.. Those colors are definately worth of keeping!

[Tranchefeux]

Hello,

Congratulations for your search, I am on you will make large
things....

[ardenrey]

WoW! :thumbsup: Great design! Great scetches!:bounce: I like it!

[jal]

nice ships. :O .cant wait to see them in the completed scene

This ship is penetrating the water , deploying the smaller fighters.

[pigwater]

sweet sketch ya got there ... almost looks finished as it is ... so how small are the little ones in comparison to the mother ship?? ...

beautiful:)

[Squibbit]

hey these are REALLY good ! and this latest one is the
best with it's smooth-flowing form and most excellent detail.
That metallic sheen u get is so cool . How long did it take to
do this last one ? How about in general ?
That fighter is really cool too , your finished stuff must be
awesome.

[Luter]

HI !
Great ships you have here. I subscribe to this thread. I think final will be great when we see those concepts.
NIce quick textures, lights and shadows...yep. I wait for the next step.

[Frank Lake]

Those are beyond sick!

If this are merely concepts..... god almightly what type of INSANE quality will the finished piece look like!?!?! :argh: :applause:

*this thread is sooooooo subscribed too!*

[ViDA]

Thanks guys , these sketches take about from an hour to 2-3 , on and off from the blank sheet of paper to the digital image.

The final image is going to be tricky . This is what I have in mind :

There are 2 civilisations on this planet . One is on the elevated surface / in the sky (Airtonians) , and another one is underwater (Divesians) . Due to the wast differences of these 2 they were never in good relations with each other. The most sacred possesions of Divesians are the technology and their ships which they have kept secret for many generations .Somehow Airtonians got a hold of an old vessel that they discovered deep underground during a contruction of the foundation for a new city.

The vessel that is going to be presented hovering above the Airtonian city is an effort to reproduce the technology of Divesians. But what they dont know is that an entire Divesian fleet is sitting duck underwater , waiting for the right moment to spoil the party.

[ChrisMayernik]

Wow! These concepts are just awesome. I love your idea also. Very cool stuff.

[Selvagem]

my bets are here.

as has been said many times so far... if these are only concept sketches i shudder to think at how your final piece is going to look....

guess i should pack up and leave right now... :P

[MKStudios]

Haha - yeah, after seeing this stuff I'm wondering why I even bothered to sign up, myself. :D

Nice work! :thumbsup:

[unitstudio]

Beautifully executed concepts and designs there vida, despite some of the 'escheresque' elements to the nose area of the divesion fighter concept - some of the forms don't make sense. Individually too, most of the elements and details are very interesting and clearly well-thought out but I'm not sure the design works as a totality - the silouhette for example doesn't at all read well.
The rest of your designs are far more successful, they're awesome even, not least your latest. I'm interested in knowing how these pieces will work in a composition but I'm sure you're getting to that. A strong contender here.

good luck and keep up the inspiring work
-g

[Ranath]

those concepts are definately worth of all those 'ooohs' and 'aaaahs' you can hear if you happen to live in my next to me..

what else can I say, great stuff

[malcolmvexxed]

Lol if those are just sketches... great stuff. I'm jealous of your technical design abilities. The most recent one is my favorite because of the consistent design. The sunken areas have a socketed, ball joint feel to them that I really like with some almost train like elements on the main body.

[Vahn]

*subscribed*

[Tranchefeux]

The continuation of your search is powerful quickly the
continuation... :applause:

[andreasrocha]

Your concepts and technique are wonderful. Can't wait to see the scene.
I really dig that blue-ray-sphere-loops (can't find a better description) of the second concept. I would love to see those integrated in the scene.
Congrats...

[Hecartha]

wooow, what amazing design you've made!! and great technique too! I'm absolutely impressed by your use of curves. What can i say, keep it up and good luck. I think i'll already enjoy the final

[LuisNCT]

Very good and original spaceship concepts. I like the curve geometry and the glossy surface. Post any concept of the final composition that's been wonder for sure.

[ViDA]

Ouch wow , thanks alot guys , I didnt expect to have such a wonderfull response .

unitstudio (http://www.cgtalk.com/member.php?u=80411): I can see how that would be a problem but hear me out :
For the form I combined a snail / and a retro soviet ww2 figher look . Combined with a cold feel of a submarine I hoped that it would make it stand out , make it much more solid .
I might rework the front , and add a curvy tail structure . Thanks for commenting on that.

[Slav]

hi there. great renderings of your concepts

how about the evironment? :)

[ViDA]

Removed for better version

[ViDA]

[Skureal]

You did really innovativ concepts at this moment and the city is interisting too. Great colors and architecture.

Go on like this!

Updated , not sure if I like it like theis myself , seem abit too human.

[unitstudio]

Beautiful concept, the designs are quite reminiscent of Frank Gehry. Vida it's progressing well - the only issue with the composition that I can see is that it could do with being more panoranic.

Re the fighter - no problem - like any responses here it's purely an expression of personal taste - that in no way is a criticism of your obvious talent - I merely felt that it was the least successful of the designs you presented for the reason I'd outlined. It's all top-notch conceptual design however and I look forward to watching this evolve.

great stuff! :thumbsup:

[John Pasco]

Hello there,

Your concept works look great! Lighting and color really stand out.
Any ideas as to the theme or events that will be depicted?

[ViDA]

Slav: Im getting there :D
Unistudio : I really apprituate your response because good constructive comments combined with practice make wonders , thanks.
John : Here it is :

[Speaky]

ViDA, something outstanding is happening in this thread, I'm amazed by your ship designs and the way you've rendered the city. Incredible start, I am in awe. :eek:

[HieSpike]

Man, that is a freaken nice painting! I really need to practice that kind of stuff. Good work, did I mention wow!?!

[dgpilot]

Hey Vida nice work! You concept has some really nice depth colors, I'd remove the noise filter though.
:thumbsup:

[ChrisThatGuy]

Very nice work. Is your final composition going to show ships from both groups? If so, are they going to have different colouration to distinguish them from one another?

[NinjaA55N]

Donno what to say except "aaaaaaaaa". Those concept of machinery r the best! I also like the shapes of buildings and the ambience u made with that color sheme but i miss something happening. To see that there is a life acctually.
Keep the good work!

[ViDA]

This is a divesian ship designed destroy huge amounts of water around it.
The energy field expands around 1000 meters in diameter in a spherical manner . After that the water is annihilated creating a vaccum space .The surface above the explosion drops down creating a huge tidal wave.

Thanks for your response guys , Im working on the composition atm.

This might look alittle better.

[unitstudio]

*picking up my eyes from the floor*...ummm wow! truly amazing - your best thus far ViDA. An incredible design (interesting areas of detail and clear silouhette, simple and clean overall lines etc etc) I presume it's some kind of droid. the body reminds me of the robot out of lost in space - ok that film was god awful, but the robot did look cool, and so does this.

I'm very envious of your rendering technique i must say - do you lay down a marker layer before bringing it into photoshop or are these entirely photoshop pieces?

beautiful work and interesting designs.

[funkbuttah]

Definitely some of the best hi tech concepting I've ever seen. I dig the city scape too, on a previous page, I agree with Unit that the city needed a little panorama. I'll keep an eye on this thread, great stuff so far.

[Tinselsnips]

Couldn't you have waited until a little later in the competition to completely destroy my chances of winning? :)

Great work.

[duddlebug]

WoW!! I love that last one...

The ships look like insects... I love the rendering... love the forms... love the idea... love the thread!!

The earlier image of the city is aslo beautifully rendered. The forms are reminiscent of the Gugenheim in Bilbao or the Imperial War Museum in Manchester... very Gehry or Libeskind... and you're technique is fantastic!! You must've spent hours on these!!

Wanna see more!!

[Vahn]

omg ... cant wait for the airtonian ship designs :D :D :D

[techart]

awesome sketches man...outstanding design..realy like it alot....awesome design...I'm curious how you're gonna put them all together...I'm curious also about the final layout....anyway...I know he's gonna' rock...the best from tech

[trUbblEsOmE]

WOW!!!
Thats really cool, i dig your whole style.
Ive been away for about a week and i came back seeing great concepts :P

[coCoKNIght]

How do you...? Man, that's just awesome! I'm watching :)

[Slav]

great work on the ships interesting insect feel to them.

[BloodTaster]

Fantastic work! :eek:
I'm just waiting for your final entry!

Hey guys , this was done a while ago , but I thought that an overal approach to airtonian technology would be quite the same : big wings , big spaces , huge open structure engines etc.

To answer your questions:

I usually work on paper , sketching it roughly with ball pen or prismacolor 30% cool grey. Then I ether color it mith markers to the max or move on to computer right away. After that its dodge/ burn , brushes and airbrushes with various modes.You may have seen my non-concept related work , its all about details.
About the composition , Im thinking ether a low perspective where the observer is standing in the middle of the explosion caused by the Divesian detonator . I think that a scene of a huge circular water drop with a city on a horison would be quite dramatic.

[Rex3d]

Wow, Vida your work is amazing! I have seen many, many 3d renders that do not have the balance, grace, and skill of your 2d concepts. My bets are currently on you for an award.

Great, great stuff. Thank you so much for sharing. Your an inspiration man!

[unitstudio]

Wow, that's really throwing down the gauntlet ViDA. Colour, composition, mood, design...all outstanding.

[Speaky]

ViDA, oh yes that's working for me! Kind of has a matrix / aquanox / hardwar feel to it which is no bad thing. I'm finding myself wanting something to break up the greeny yellow palette a bit, maybe some complementary reddy blues somewhere. It's very very good, though!

Wow, Vida your work is amazing! I have seen many, many 3d renders that do not have the balance, grace, and skill of your 2d concepts. My bets are currently on you for an award.
... now I'm always impressed at the skill and effort 3D work involves, I'll always acknowledge that, but give me 2D artwork over 3D every time. The mind of a talented artist is the most advanced renderer I know. :thumbsup:

[element5]

ViDA.......Wow as I peel my jaw up off the floor. Inspiring A++. No crits from me. I just wanna see MORE!! LOL :thumbsup:

[Tranchefeux]

Your last sketch is brilliant good harmony of the colors....

[Fahrija]

Hi ViDA,

There is no doubt - Your space ship scetches are extraordinary convincing.
What you need is defenetly a compositon or an establishing shot to tell the story behind your great ship-designs. I´m really looking forward to watch developing your Grand Space Opera.

[flyingP]

Outstanding work, I love the mix of design too, here more sharp/geometric, there more organic. Really very nice work.

[techart]

ayayayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...awesome concept you have here Andrew. love it alot....the ship rocks.....like the design alot and the details are cwwrazy........the idea with the explosion is just cool......anxious to see the finish.....cheers

[angel]

beautiful concepts, nothing to crit really, I'll be watching your progress:thumbsup:

[mistermac]

really, really nice work.
I'm looking forward to seeing your compsition concepts..

Really Great work, from the ship designs to the city renderings.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure. http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

gorgeous ship design and rendering....very mullins. more!

[Falcorr]

This thread i do fear...

So much talent!

I do hope you have time to visit all lesser human threads like mine :thumbsup:
btw.. That one monster looks like something out of metroid prime... some other look bit like star wars to me.

I wait for your finished piece :)

[cgtalkmember]

You my friend are sick and twisted :wise: ... Those designs are just incredible and out of this world, im watching you closely :D very nice job indeed.

[JARhead]

I hate you, Im so jelouse lol. All to good, all to good.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Fabulous work! cant wait to see it all come together! The rest of us mortals may now leave the building, if we can swim thru our own drool! ; )

[Merlin]

Wow. There's a whole bunch I could say, but that pretty much sums it up. If those are just the concept sketches, I can't wait to see the final image!

Neal

[NinjaA55N]

Nothing to criticise, just a deep bow from me to u. Definetely a favorite here in this challenge, so keep up the fantastic work! I hope u'll submit ur composition end everything of ur final idea soon, coz im really curious about it :)

[userBrian]

Yes, very exciting spaceships. No hurry, but I do look forward to seeing
those underwater lurkers ready to spoil the airshow. Will be great! And I'm
right in the middle of trying to make my spaceships...challenging. Those airshow
accidents are pretty spectacular. Will the airship be crashing towards the crowd?
Heads up!

Oh Caanuhduh, oh Caanuhduh, how great are your draaw-rings
Hot damn! Those are great man:love:, I love the details, you don't need a school, keep up the good work.

one more "great" for you! wish i made sketches like you do... :love: also hope to see some great "enviroment" for the great spaceships!

[kromekat]

Excellent concept sketches! - getting aboard your thread to keep posted on your progress - looking forward to what you acheive with all this! :thumbsup:

[duddlebug]

Blimey... after seeing that last image, i can only guess what sort of image we're gonna get in January. Beautiful colours and great technique....

[Luter]

Great concepts ! I wonder what you are going to do with all that stuff..The work on differents shapes is inspirating. Insectoïd ships is really nice too.

[screamingwing]

Man
great design sense on all your stuff. Absolutely love the very first ship you posted. Reminded me of a locomotive. Bit 'Dune'ish as well. Great renderings one and all.
Good luck

[Hillartsympho]

i think the color scheme in the last entry is promising. your concepts are very strong, i think that it may be time to figure out the full composition, how you can get all of your ideas on teh page. you're really creating a convincing universe!

Great job!

[LuisNCT]

Your last picture has remember me craig mullin's artwork... Great work!

[ViDA]

Updated the sketch with a new version.

[Nomad]

Damn man, that's awesome :bounce:
How I coud miss this thread before ??
Great, great, great, great design :thumbsup:

The winged building is superb.... I think if you remove the "cubic" small buildings all aroud you`ll get a full alien architecture.

[duddlebug]

cool ship!! love the chrome effect!!

Nice work andrew...some nice ship designs you have here.
Keep it up....i'm watching this thread.

[rickycox]

the ship look great, love the level of detail. Keep going.

[screamingwing]

Agreed. lovely rendering.

[element5]

Wow, now thats one royal looking ship....i love it :thumbsup:

great rendering...when can we see the start of the overall image? waiting eagerly..

[techart]

ayayayyyyyyyyyyyyy cool design man.......nice drawing....nice rendering

[hydrocell]

wow.. really nice all of them, i esp. like the last 2 ships, quite different styles.. and the curvilinear building is sweet two, can't wait to see some of the stuff coming togetehr

Thanks guys for feedback.

This is a ship that has been created by Airtonians with the help of the Divesian technology , hope you guys like it . Im going to submit the linear and landscape renderings later on : ).

[Neozoom]

Amazing sketch man :p
this one is better than the precedent I think... the texture metallic is lest shinny and it looks better to me :) good one the style is great to... little wings...
and it keep this aspect of futurist airship :)

Damn just realised I made a stupid perspective error , apologies .
I would apprituate any feedback on this design. Thanks.

[marcnail]

Greatness. The chrome texture on this ship reminds me of old american bombers like
the B-17. I want to see this baby integrated in a complete environment.

:)

WOW! Nice job on the metal finish! :)

I didn't notice the perspective error, but it is a concept so mistakes are ok, and welcomed.

Great progress, keep it up.

[OKMER]

Yep,Indeed like these are still concept's(and really great concept's!!!)It's quit difficult to give feedback right now.
Nothing to say,as it is GREAT!!!

[SideAche]

I'm in agreement with everyone else. Looks Great :bounce:

[coCoKNIght]

So where's the perspective error?
I especially dig the reflecitons on the main wing, but you asked for feedback on the ships design and I must say I think those main wings are desturbing. It's not like those keep the craft from falling anyway... I mean, it's massive. I'd try to make them shorter or to mirror them, because the front of the ship is the heaviest.

[element5]

Definately a nice ship, love the chrome look. :)

[Tranchefeux]

Hi, Really much of talents here,
good progression.

[techart]

man...your designs rock.......very well done and rendered.......did some design school?.....car design maybe?.....lots of good work

[ViDA]

Updated with new version

[Ganthu]

Simply astonishing! Self tought ? And I thought of myself as a one for regularly skipping
art class :] You`re utterly rebellious... marry me, never mind the whole same sex thing
we`ll move to Canada

P.S. just kidding offcourse - Canada is too cold for me :)

[ViDA]

Ganthu : Its not so bad here : ). Thanks , glad you liked it.

Techart: Just alot of research and sketching. Practice makes perfect.

CocoKnight: Thanks for the feedback , I might change it but I think Ill stick with the size .
I figured a huge wings tilted downwards alittle bit would give it mass and weight like no other element.

Thank you for your kind responses , I will try to answer your questions on a regular basis.

Andrew.

Color correction , minor one.

Warning colors abit extreme , I just wondered if I would give it a cool texture , like a beetle armor.

To answer your question , no I have not gone to any school , self tought .

[OKMER]

Nice one too this one!!!Maybe it could be cool if the backwings were up and those turbines just under them.Inversing them.
This could give more dynamic felling to the ship...
But that's just an subjective suggestion...
Nice colors!!

[BloodTaster]

fantastic work!:eek: nothing to crit.

just waiting you composition

[Russell_Collins]

I really like the chrome effect you had going a few images back. The effect was lost when you tried to bring up the level of detail I think. Look at old WWII bombers with their aluminum skin (pre-paint-job, obviously) and see what I mean. If you get close to those planes, there are tons of rivets and seams and all sorts of things to pay attention to. Just a suggestion (aerodynamically speaking, it makes sense to see fewer details too).

Another thing I'd watch out for is the brightness you're working at right now. With chrome, softer lighting really makes the reflections look better. Harsher lighting is better for situations where you need it to pick up the details that a shinier material can do with less light.

I say this because I love what you've got going so far and I really think the vehicle rocks! They are only suggestions from somebody who couldn't do this well already anyway :thumbsup:

[ViDA]

I cant let go of perspective errors heh.

Tried to make a tighter render of this concept. Playing around with colors.

[Russell_Collins]

Vehicle = the awesome!

Now to make it sit nicely into some sort of scene that communicates "epic" and you've got a sure winner!

[idiot box]

I def. like your ships, nice stuff!

[terraarc]

Absolutely awsome ships! :thumbsup: They certainly look all of same technology (Airtonians If I recall well)...

The coloring is great and the last composition too!

I definetelly want some more :)

[monsitj]

I think your image can't be concept sketch , it can be final image!!! awesome detail and coloring!!

[Amida]

I agree with Monsit, what a detailed and beautiful pic!! I hope you will make the final entry just as beautifull (or can you do even better... *runs away scared* :D)

[Arctis]

Well ! If that pict is a concept sketch, what will you do for your final composition ??? A 3D ride, with shaking seats and dolby surround ?? :D
Your ship is nice, and the sky and the lanscape really promiss !
