One of my ideas. I intend to creat a cityscape. Still more on the way...

[draco_1967]

Hey all!
I am a little late...but....what the heck :)
I wish I would have seen this contest sooner. I know I have quite a challenge ahead of me...I feel very dwarfed by the talent of all the other entrees

just a quick close up of one of the ziggurat's towers. I kinda like this structure. don't know its function though...:D

[draco_1967]

hi again. Did a little concept sketching last night and today. It's tough getting any continuity with final project deadlines approaching and my little brother bothering me :P

anywhoo...let me know your opinions, thanks!

[W-I-L]

hello. nice drawings . . . but any story with htis... architecture great fun and grand but with the amzing cityscape something should be going on . . for this epic competition anyway. Could be an invasion but does not have to be war. could be a great hero returnign and a time of celebration.. or the completing of a great statue of the gods that towers high above the city.

THINK BIG!

one comp sketch. I like the idea of celebrating a returning hero. I thought up a story a few years ago. Colonists on Mars want independence from the Unided Earth Federation...revolutionary war kind of stuff =)

so here is the return of the rebels after the victory of a big battle.

this angle isn\'t very eciting. I will have to work on that =/

You go man- do whatever it takes. A lot of us work under pretty tight conditions to squeeze this in outside of work.

The heroes go to meet the assailing ships in the distance. The object in the foreground is an aircraft carrier, as is the ship above it. There will be fighters staging and pilots/crew on the carrier preparing for battle.

I will mock it up in 3D to get perspective/lighting right.

Crits are welcome

[Hillartsympho]

nice ideas, maybe you could try fleshing out the sketches even more. the 3d will help alot i think

[KaleN]

Is this carrier flying above the city on the left? If it is then i would suggest drawing some buildings beneath him and maybe roatating all image a little bit to acheive more dynamic camera view.

[BlueEyeLizard]

I agree with kale. Try a more dynamic view. Good Luck

I like the scene in the middle of this concept. Has a nice feeling to it :)

...
I am not feeling this...
:(

[draco_1967]

Thanks AirORn,
That was one of my favorites. Maybe I will try to integrate that with my current idea.




edit:*smacks forehead* I didn't realize that the 3&4 were the same comp w/ different lighting. crap.

just trying to get the juices flowing. Here is a fighter concept. Not quite spacy enough though...=)

This is my first attempt at a planet. I followed some tutorials(by a man named Alyn, who compiled Brandon Hale, Greg Martin, and a few others' ideas). I am pretty pleased with it.
