[Korline]

[tlggungor]

good action .. nice start

[only pony]

just another concept. Kind of space war. Spaceship looks a bit korny.

c&c welcome

[bahman]

I like your colors & composition, But I think U have to create something special in your story,
I will follow u, Good luck.

[Koekebakker]

Hey, (Peperkorrel van scholieren hier)

I like the use of color and lighting, it creates a very surreal, futuristic mood. Composition-wise I'd add a few inches to (one of) the sides, so the image doesn't have that "cropped" feeling.

If I were you I'd go for something with the kind of perspective used in the first image...very dynamic. Good luck! I'll keep an eye on this thread. ;)

[Korline]

your work is awsome
I love how you work the light

[MichaelZHsee]

i prefer the 1st concept though,it looks alil more spectacular in a way compare to the latest concept:)

[Ducklator]

nice idea.. great concept.... keep it up!!!:buttrock:

[OrO]

:thumbsup: welcome and good luck...and great concepts :buttrock:

[MechaHateChimp]

Hi Gerrit,

I think out of the two sketches you have, Im definitely feeling the first one most. The color choices and angle are very strong. I agree with most people here, this is a strong sketch and a great start.- J

[only pony]

Thanks people. I'll try to put more perspective in the next concept, and hopefully i'll have a more spectacular story than a space war.

(hi Koekebakker, nice to see you here)

[OrO]

update!update!update!:bounce:

[only pony]

easy OrO :), but thanks for the attention. Here a preview of my next update:

http://home.student.utwente.nl/g.witteveen/cgspec5%20copy.jpg

Offcourse i will replace the vehicles i used in the first picture with some other, hopefully better looking ones. The scene will be something with kids riding their high-tech skateboard, skates, bikes, etc kicking trashcans, scaring people, so still lots of work to do.

Gerrit

[Koekebakker]

update!update!update!:bounce:
Not much activity...you haven't give up, I hope? :\

[only pony]

Not much activity...you haven't give up, I hope? :\

Offcourse not, just busy with some other things. I'll try to finish the concept i'm working on for next week. See you then.

Gerrit

[OrO]

waiting for an update...:)

ok, this is the new concept i'm working on. It's still work in progress, so c&c during the proces of this image, is most welcome.

The scene is a bit empty, so i will ad some more figures, details to make it more attractive.

Gerrit

[digital-bobert]

I really like the look and feel of this one! Good luck!

[Lync]

Oh wow, this is eye-catching. I love it!

The colours are brilliant and the sense of light is fabulous!
More! :thumbsup:

[whooosh]

I like the color usage...but the foreground people somewhat bothers me. Perhaps they're too close to the path of the incoming racer? just a thought

[OrO]

shiny!i like the dynamic feel about it and the colors :drool: oh yess..and the lens effects..no coment on the people yet...good luck

[tAstyBITs]

It's a really strong composition, keep it up.

[only pony]

hey people, thanks for the comments.

@whooosh: The thing with the foreground people is that they are not standing right up in the image, but i'm allready working on that.

Gerrit

[2xbo]

Hi only pony. The last post is COOL so far.
I'm looking forward to see more into this scene.

Good luck
xbo :scream:

made a few changes. Added another skater, more dramatic lightning and some details. But i'm not sure if this is an improvement. And i still don't no what to do with the middle of the scene. Made a quick metro-entrance sketch, but maybe someone has another idea for this part of the scene?

Gerrit

[OrO]

i don't know..this really looks promising..the idea with the metro was good..i like the colors and lighting a loooooot:thumbsup:

[oldasold]

Nice! Reminds me of Jet Grind Radio, sort of. Great colors and composition! Masks with glowing eyes a plus. This is great, even as a sketch...keep it up!

[ChrisThatGuy]

Looks great. I think it could maybe use more yellow rim-lighting on the foreground objects.

Ok, changed the metro entrance and did some small modifications.

@OrO: thanks
@KITTNLITTER: thanks, Jet set radio sure inspired me for this concept
@ChrisThatGuy: thanks for the comment, added a bit of yellow on the foreground objects

Well, i think i'm pretty much done with this concept, so i think i'm going to start with a new sketch

Gerrit

[wildcory1]

love the color and contrast. I would love to see you take to the next level.

I hope this doesn't mean you have scrapped this concept and are not going any further! Because I would like to see this image developed more and polished up! I think this is a great piece!

Thanks for the comments

I think i'm not going to develope this picture any further, but the concept will probably form the base for my final image. Thanks for the comments

Gerrit

[OrO]

ok...i can't wait to see it :)

[Jokinen]

Nice work :) I love your color scheme and heavy perspective, lightning has been set up nicely aswell :)

i'm busy lately, but i found some spare time to work on a new concept. Well here it is, a kind of futuristic theme park (does someone know the english word for the thing in the middle of the scene, because i really dont know). This time a used i 3d-modeller for the first time to set up the perspective, and used a new color scheme. Comments and critics always welcome.

added a few characters, some details and made the view a bit bigger. C&C still welcome.

different approach this time. No explosions, etc, just a young robot exploring the beautiful world arround him.

comments en critics most welcome.

Gerrit

[OrO]

cool..this one is really nice..really..i think this one is the best and the most expressive!!:thumbsup:

i like that last image.. very expressive. good show. and good luck :)

Great sense/use of colour colour!

Oh time is running up, time to choose. I think i'm going on with the robot concept.

The picture shows a "mother robot/cyborg" holding here "baby robot/cyborg" They are sitting on some kind of bed, in a creepy high tech hospital.

I hope i can finish the picture in time.

@Oro: thanks for the support
@Lync: thanks! i'll try to finish it in time.

[OrO]

better hurry my friend.....it's comming to a closing soon..good luck:cry:

small update: added some color and lighting.

now i know for sure that i'll stick with this babybot theme. Maybe change the "camera angle" and then i'll start with my final image

@OrO: yeah i know ;)

[Lync]

Hey there,

Nice concept, not sure about the "spectacular" element in it yet though. You appear to be a really fast artist, so as time quickly runs out, I think you will be all right :)

[Nikolay]

Interesting ideas! Good Luck!:)

[wildcory1]

Nice consept good texture and contrast

[MichaelZHsee]

great sketches all over mate~somehow i prefer the 'sunset3' concept since it gave a more spectacular feel to it.whatever ur choice are~i wish u the very best of luck!till the finals:thumbsup:

[walrus]

Concept works for me... Reminds me of a cover from several Octavia Butler novels. Wayne Barlowe did a lot of those, good stuff. I'm sure yours will be really nice too... just keep working on it! Good luck!

Thanks. Well here's another one, hope you like the change.

Nice update. The detail of the face brings a very 'human' feel to the image. Wow. But I also like that you've kept the loose brush around it, particularly I like the eye lid.

A "robot" mother and her child "born" to serve mankind. This is their last moment together. The little child has no idea what happening. Covered in a blanket, sheltered by his mom. Not for long. The new owner is already waiting. What kind of life is waiting for her child? What will he be like? What will his name be? Will they ever seen eachother again? Some many questions, so less time. Time to say: Goodbye, my child.

I gave the image a sketchery(?) look to give the robots and the evironment a kind of rusty, industrial look. Colored it with warm orange and cold blue to give the image a nice contrast. It also stands for warm nursing and being together and the cold split up between the mother and her child.

Thanks everyone for supporting me. Goodluck

Congratulations for finishing in time. It is a beautiful piece. I do like your artistic style - it is brilliant.
