Basically just getting everything mapped into one point.

hehe cool start Dave. way too long not seen anyways, i guess you even outnumbered me in works you have in progress ;) the linarts look promissing, only suggestion i have by now are the "xmen belts". if the locks are not supposed to be asymetrical, the center is off.
on the chest of the right figure, try take the same line like the left figure, actually it follows the biceps wich is a small thing to fix :)

looking forward to your progress mate, great to see you're in too, best of luck and rock it ruff! a scifidarkage is a great playfield, looking forward to see ya bring this to life! go go go!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

The line art

Nice start, rather eerie looking for a church, I would be very hesitant to go in.

Oh I didn't put the backstory up yet. Ok this is a sci-fi futuristic cathedral. It takes place on a distant planet with a humanistic alien race. The two gigantic statues are intergalactic saints, and the vehicle in the middle is a type of monorail that brings passengers down this great hall into the inner sanctum.

More tightening, trying to punch the darks and build more chiascuro. Working on the monorail. More people added soon.

I started to add more figures into the picture there will be more to come to illustrate the size of the statues.

hey mate, great progress. working in the humans definately helps the sense of scale.
something to help the dephg is atmoshperical fx. try to lower the contrast in the distance, that will add a nice up to the athmoshere, like red fog,

also, that causes those nice trials on lights, so called volumetric light, wich i think would help the all over scifi feel of your piece.
