The first concept/detail is really fantastic! It is no concept, it is finished picture! Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[maiz777]

Yeah thats very nice start, hope that will not be the last one. Just keep going and dont give up just like that. U don't need miracle but patience. Wanna see those skeches by the way

[g-nome]

thanks Artie
:blush: yes its finished...looks better then sketch :cool:
but i dont belive that i can draw all my sketches out...takes too many time.
and...sadly, coloring is my weak side

[g-nome]

that strange spaceship stays for a while...i found a new hero.
she is a space keeper and also peace keeper. she`s just woken, couse too much noise are around ...probably war.
next step is to find pertinent environment.

big thank to Greg Martin and hes star field tutorial...

[Squibbit]

:blush: yes its finished...looks better then sketch :cool:

LOL !!!

anyways , that is one excellent spaceship painting you got there , dude !

welcome to the contest!

[g-nome]

hello hello :)

Yes...ship is fine...but i cant find a good place for it. all my sketches look like a movie clips...not a Icon, damn.

[Ghost_NAVI]

sweet pics

-would be cool if inside had like red or green glow radiates from cracks when open or beam style landing lights that only work on landing twould be super cool!
-and a swirl of dist is in order i beleive

[Ganthu]

What do you mean like movie clips ? As in clear ? I have to say the concepts so
far are freakishly good...The ship in my opinion is better off as being much smaller
about the same height as a human... it`s landing contraption looks more mobile than
sturdy. The buildings - again freakishly good. You need to find a way to combine these
concepts with a nice original story and there you go :]

[Peddy]

thats his point. i think by 'movie clips' he means they are but pieces in something that he wants to be bigger, ie, his overall concept.

[Splin]

Someone correct me if I am mistaken(including g-nome himself if I missed his point):
By movie clip I understand a scene, nice and cool pic, thats all. Its cool but empty.
But icon is a bit different subject, its main role is in story and atmosphere what makes this icon more than a just nice pic. Just like those holy icons in churces, they have more depth. To understand the icon itself fully you have to know the story behind it, what actually makes it a icon and not just one nice pic. Sorry if I am repeating someone but thats a topic what is a bit hard to understand also for me right now.

[MoonVisionStudio]

I love the ship and the buildings! As for the whole "icon" definition, you could talk about it for eons. Ultimately we are competing to make a nice picture that has icons of Sci Fi in it. I guess how the image is executed is what determines wether it becomes an icon or a cliche.

Must get some sleep...

[shadowstarre]

That painting of the ship made my jaw drop... I thought, "2D?! This guy is in the wrong competition!" Haha... hey, good luck, you've got real potential!

[g-nome]

yeah, thanks a lot :)

and yes...i meant, that movie clip is a random click with a camera...it cant tell nothing special.

[g-nome]

some mindflashes.

[annisahmad]

hey g-nome. i really like ur stuff. gets my mind racing, and tells me i should be more original. very nice job on everything. i really love ur first submission. its great! congrats :)

[Ganthu]

Nice sketches indeed, but you might want to upload them on the contest server
since the judges are going be viewing the other panels where only stuff you
submitted properly will appear. While eventually they may sift through the thread
it`s still a good idea :] Keep up the good work

I tried to find cool compositions. I didnt want to make another battle schene. I looked for something different.

Thats the final concept with nice clean lines. I tried to make characters look like weird , but humans though. Freaks who had no humane weakness, like hunger, or thirst for example. They have lots of mechanical upgrades like plasmabatterys and spyglasses. And all for war...endless war, cause humans are like they are.
But the moment of schene: although that freaks look like robots they still have littelbit human inside and because of that, they cant turn eyes from sunrise: all lost memorys come remind, times when they were childs and went fishing...or looked with girlfrend same sunshine (not that same...i think they are anothre planet right now).
Thats the brief story.

Here we go. Rough colour with some line art...lines just for compo check

[g-nome]

check check....

wip 3#
I started too wrong. Its too burned and heavy for beginning. And that right side building isnt good at all. I dont now what happend...maybe i wasnt in good mood :/

wip 3# more details.. as you see
I changed buildings back as they were in that lineart and i like that way...they do not attract too much attention

Now the lights part...i made that dark schene on purpose. Without darkness, lights cannot work. And lights are very nice way to make nice details...glows and stuff :)
So...thats it. i may do some color variations, cause the overall color isnt right for me...

Added some curves...dont know, i hope it works better

here are some first environment ideas, but i didnt used them...they are too detailed so first ground didnt have first attention.

[conundrum]

great work, i love the characters, you rendered them really well. a nice sci-fi colour scheme as well, which is good to see, best of luck.

Some peoples said, that my picture looks like a book cover. So, i decided to listen them : now it looks iconic enough :)
