I had this idea for a year or so... about war between massive army, with futuristic weaponry, and... wizards, with technological gadgets to aid them. In my mind i was creating space battles where sorcerer 10th level was put up against whole space carrier fleet. One man against leviathan of steel...
So this pic orginaly was suppose to be in space but... i thought that dogfight in planet atmosphere will be more... exiting and corolful :]
This is first stage of invasion on wizards word. Scene presents one of first dogfights between sorceress (level 5) and first wave of iterceptors.
Just a first "recon" concept sketch. COMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS MOST WELCOME!

Good composition. That explosion would probably silhouette the wizard nicely.

Since its SPECTACULAR contest i thought "what the hell!" and I added whole invading fleet plus some burning city by the sea. Its kinda messy right now but I hope its not too much. I'll poste fast colour version soon so you will se what I have in mind.
As usual im open for any suggestions ;]
goooooood, very high contrast!:eek:

I know I know explosion si VERY bright but it just concept scetch - final image will be done again frome scrach, just based upon this one. I just have to plan whole picture first.

Since some of you suggested that there is too much going on on this picture, that is kinda unreadable I decidet to reedit it. I moved time backward few seconds, before interceptor on foreground exploded - I lost some fireworks but gain more clearity... I guess. Whats your opinion?
If this pic is still not readable I have another idea of similar scene... just less action packed.
I need your support but I just dont know what to do to gain more of your attention.... :(
ANY CRIT MOST WELCOME!!! FREE CUPCAKE FOR AN INSIDE :P

haha, cool, cuz i didn't remember him living in poland and i got confused
carry on :thumbsup:
.
I like the one with the explosion better ... and especially the first greyscale sketch because its more close up there . As to there is too much going on : I think the explosion is good maybe too many ships in the bg ..especially in the upper left corner. thats just how i feel about it so dont take this as serious advice :D other than that its a very cool pic so far :thumbsup:
Wow. I'm impressed! I like intensity of this scene. Powodzenia!
Concept looks great, I think you should try to drop the lightning coming out of her palms - it's very confusing and doesn't help the flow of you'r composition. Instead you could try to just have the ships she's pointing at explode.
Keep it up! Think this is gonna be great. :thumbsup:
Koekebakker
09-10-2005, 02:18 PM
I agree with am7 to reduce the lightning to a minimum (although it gives a very nice contrast)...You could also try to de-saturate the background and keep the contrast/saturation in the foreground so the focus will be on the girl and the ship.
I even think you can add the explosion again. I think the key to making it readable is to change colors, contrast and saturation, not necessarily by taking away the action.

09-10-2005, 02:37 PM
Haha, I got confusd as well I know I talked to you via PM;s before and then I see another Marek Okon and then you post your entry I got confused as hell , lol.
Anways not to derail this anymore then it already is I love the concept you have created. It really feels everything is in motion and coming thwords the viewer. I'll be sure to come back and check in on your progress. I wish you the best of luck Marek.

real spectacular!!:eek:
OmeN2501
09-10-2005, 03:39 PM
am7: to be honest that was my firs idea (pic1) but I thought that people wont know what is going on. Lightnings are looking very flashy and you immiedietly know "Woha! shes whooping their asses". Thou spectacular I think you right - they dont go well with the rest of the pic. I will have to think something different to make you know that she is casting some serious spells.
Koekebakker:The explosion will probably come back just in a diferrent place :) I still have issues with making pictures more "deep", open and perspective. Ill work on some fog and haze on the imagae to give it lil more atmosphere, so things in background will stay in background, not distracting from main dogfigt. Thanks for advice!
And thanks to all of you for support! Hope you will come by from time to time to aid me whit this project :bounce:
Now im reconsidering the lightning. Im planing to move sun little higher, so its not yet sunset but almost. Dont know if sun isnt stealing to much focus. Maybe I should move it completly out from the frame?

sci-fi and fantasy! been waiting for someone to do that! Very dynamic right now and spectacular indeed. One thing i see right now is that the figure doesn't standout very much. I can make her out, but she sort of dissapears a bit for me.... This is very early on still, so can't wait to see more!:)

How can you not get any attention with a concept sketch like this man? :P This is great. It's like Star Wars meets XMen with Storm being the main character or something :) I love how the sun's kinda shouting and trying to get in the vibe of the battle at the horizon. I would love to see the finished product of this piece. Lotsa potential man. Keep it up... Uhm... Can I have my cupcake now? :deal: :scream:

good concept,
I really like the superhero scene - reminds me of the days when reading marvel/dc comics.
the color palette fits very well. sexy pose of your main character :thumbsup:
Maybe there´s a bit to much going on in the scene particularly on the left side above.

really nice! my criteria to this challenge is if i say "WOW!" when i first see the work, it receives the thumbs up. and yours definitetely receives the thumbs up! you should just make it clearer that she's magic-based. right now it just seems like he's wearing technology based power armor.

09-17-2005, 11:00 AM
Nice dinamic composition, maybe too much things going on. It would be nice to have a hierarchy in terms of value and saturation. I think that would help you to separate different elements. Keep it up!

Wow, looking good! Definitely has a spectacular feel to it! bit of a change from the character based works.

Perhaps a bit more power on the reactors ...

Well thats it - its THE lineart I will start colouring tommorow. Since there is almost no time left, its poorly detailed but I just wanted to laid out main elements on the scene. I made sorceress more "magical" by ading a scepter and more aristocratic clothing
If u see ANY mistakes - now is the best time to point them out ;]

hi hi
The concept is great, and I'll be rooting for you and waiting anxiously for the final image. There's an entire game right there waiting to be put into play. :)
One suggestion, your earlier concepts depicted lightning bolts destroying the fighterjets, I might recommend adding some sort of supernatural flare to the lightning to set it apart from natural lightning, as modern fighter craft aren't really effected by lightning.
Anyway, everything is designed very elegantly and I wish you the best of luck!

@IceKatze: Thaks for advice. I will do something different than lightning cuz they dont look to good up against sunlight... I have a little problem here cuz I dont know how to render ANY lighteffects in front of a sun. It all coming up fake looking... gonna work on it
@Climax: He he thanks mate but there is actual two Marks Okon on CGTalk. Even more - we both got Polish roots :D We called X-Files but Scully said its pure coincidence :P

Still some stuff is missing but Im working on it :] I used some satelite photos for bump map of a land, but it need alot of work - cuz right now is just looking cheap. Also I have new idea for destroing that interceptor on first plane - im thinking... spectacular ;]
Any input is most welcome

Marek...dude! :eek:
this will be awesome! I very much like the approach on how you are texturing the enviroment. Beautiful lightning and compared to mine nicely clean rendered.
Just take care to separate the woman a bit more from the fighter in the foreground.
Would be a shame :D

So i figured out that pilot encoutering sorceres for a first time would automaticly (as he was trained) release heat flares to avoid danger... Bad luck Dingo ;]
I added some invading forces and smoke but still I think something is missing :/ Maybe somone have idea how to make this picture more war-zone-like?

NIe będę powtarzał po innych... choć powtórzę - znakomita kompozycja, choć przez chwilę nie wiedziałem na początku, czy to jakaś kobieta się katapultowała z samolotu. Przydałoby się trochę kontrastu to wyładowań energii z jego ręki i eksplozji ( trudny kąt do tego, bo jest to na tle drugiego ). Hurry up, man, not much time left! :eek:

The meteors work great, the picture looks much better now IMO, before it was a bit empty. I wanted to suggest to zoom in on the wizard and the ship (crop the picture), but the meteor showers work just as well or better.
I really like the picture, excellent idea.

OmeN2501,
Submit this one now, finished or not. You've nailed the concept of spectacular. The Sorcercess and the background detail are over the top. Don't nit-pick the small stuff. This image is extremely powerful and eye-catching. I hope you place highly, so we can all benefit from your step by step article.
Gorgeous work! Bravo! :bounce: :applause: :bounce:
Now FTP it! :bounce: :applause: :buttrock:

"It was the third year of Dominons War, and we were all tired. So when we left our warp bubble 2 Megaklicks from 47 Ursae Majoris C, we didn't waste our time. MI's reports looked promising: the target planet was inahbited by civilization apparently on quite low tech level. You know, no space fleet or orbital defence stations, no nuke-powered battle platforms, poor Mom Earth-worshipping poor Mom Earth-worshipping dum-arses...
Agricultural society, I mean.
It was almost too good to be true.
At 2040 hours Commander commenced attack on their biggest city. Heavy Colonial Fleet Battlegroup: 40 shuttles with infantry, 12 CAS squadrons, 4 carriers, a dozens of support vessels. Commander thought she was smart, cause MI folks told her the farmers down below would have some kind of religious festival that night. Well, they had. And our visit really pissed them off.
53 minutes later, our last Kiev class carrier hit the ground and exploded. 75% of our close air support crafts were also destroyed, and lucky survivors had to pull back. But the worst thing was, it took just three people to wipe out our troops. We dubbed them 'priests' afterwards, cause of - you know, divine powers they used against us or something - but we haven't really grasp their position and role in the farmers' society.
Yeah, divine powers. Don't laugh. One pilot rescued by Medivac boys told us how his plane was ripped in half by flying girl. Other reports mentioned her and her friends, hovering over our carrier - just before it's armour was penetrated and cooling system damaged by, as we were told, meteor shower that came from nowhere!
That night we've learned our lesson. I learned it pretty well... ."
M-Sgt. Jack Hartman, A Troop 4/12 Cav, 3rd Colonial Marine Division.

The power within. That's what always amaze the most: the undiscovered potential of human beings. I wanted to create a scene where that amazing power is spectacularly unveiled. Maybe "man vs machine" conflict isn't the cleariest way to show it, but i think the message is strong: no matter how many obstacles are thrown in our path - we have the strength within us to overcome them. To win against all odds.
I would like to thank all of you on CGtalk forum who helped me with this picture - without you this journey wouldn't be so amazing. Many thanks.
Also a special kind words for my friend Mlody who helped me a lot as well with picture as with editing this text

Świetna rzecz. Super czysta grafa. Strasznie lubię ten styl. Według mnie powinieneś znaleźć się w nagrodzonych.
A Final Fantasy nie widziałem ale już druga osoba mi to mówi więc pewnie coś w tym musi być :)
