this is my first color test i want to do a daylight ambient..

[Norberg]

Hi Matheiu,

that lineart is insane!
I´m looking forward to see the progress of this, it´s a truly spectacular view!

hi this the kind of render i want to do for the whole image..a lttle bit ruff but lookin from far i would like that looks a little bit realistik( iwould try...)it's just a detail from the center of the image like in the line art..

[Korline]

hello,
love your colors :thumbsup:
very spectacular idea, the only crit, I see is on the line art the freeway seems to fall of the picture, not sure it could be intentional, :applause:
but the idea rocks, cheers :twisted:

[Atris]

Hi! This's amazing and exceptional city!! I admire your imagination! I'm waiting your update! Good luck!

[Jaba153]

Korline----> thanx a lot ! , u right for the highway:shrug: now i only see that mistake on my draw..
i would try to make it better in the color version :shrug:

Atris--->thanx a lot too!! i'm very fan of your righteous perspective:buttrock:

another detail...

[FrozZT]

I like you last one alot.. Lovely colors and great design! beginning to get a sense of what this will look like when its done now.. I would really like to know more about it.. Is there a backgroundstory to the scene? I think it will be spectacular! ;)

Good luck!

[Jaba153]

FrozZT----> thanxz alot ..i don't have really a story to this..it's just a strange futuristik background..i want use it maybe also for my background of my spectacular 3d but a have a lot of work to do...but for the background of my 3d i want to do different render and colors than in 2d and there's not a lot of space for this pic ..

[maurodelia]

Hey pretty creative !

[Koekebakker]

Wow, unique style and great use of color, I'm curious to see where this is going. However, I'd add some element to the image that gives the cityscape a certain 'meaning' to be there. Something more on the foreground that gives more depth and story to the image.
Nonetheless, really amazing style!

[grobouk]

very original concept, good realisation, i like it

[Atris]

Wow! Very good style! It is getting more interesting and more interesting! :)

thanx a lot everybody 4 comments & support.. it's a very complicated one and takes more time than expected...

[MVDB]

Wow!:thumbsup:
Great style! Cool last post, keep it up!
Very cool!

[Lemog]

Hey man... I just discover you participate at the 2d challenge too... great news and great concept... always you universe... that work very well... I love you 2d skill... also talentuous here... I little envy you cause I would like to participate at this one... but don't think to have time... maybe for the next...

Anyway, your picture comes fantastic... :thumbsup: very good and major inspiration ;)

[Lync]

The task of finishing this image will be spectacular in itself!

It's looking awesome so far though! Great work!

[zpapageo]

I love this! Your style reminds me of Druillet. I look forward to seeing this progress.

[2tacos99cents]

Can't figure out why you dont have more replies. I think the design is exceptional.


Keep up the good work, and hopefully you will still be planning to render the entire "city". good luck.

[Jaba153]

MichaelMotion /Lync /2tacos99cents/ thanx a lot 4 support.. doesn't matter i would do my best to finish this one of course
Lemog thanx a lot u're doing crazy work as well !
zpapageo:thanx 4 compliment i don't really know very well the druillet's work but i know is great one with moebius in europe so it's a very nice "comparaison" don't know exactly the word in english..(similar)

[jmBoekestein]

Hey this is some excellent stuff. like the shapes and how theytwirl around very nicely rendered too. :thumbsup:

[2xbo]

Hi Jaba153. Nice idea. Looks like really guerreros Aztecas. I think you need more depth. I don't feel really the 3D depth.

I'm looking forward to see progress. COOL work. :thumbsup:
xbo :scream:

[remcv8]

The more you do to this, the more beautiful it becomes. I love this work.

[MichaelZHsee]

fabulous updates~i sensed this will end up a marvelous piece.keep it coming mate!love the design,orga yet mecha~cool :thumbsup:

have almost finish the midleground & background..now still have to color the foreground & make balance with diff layers..

[Jaba153]

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9152/9152_1129393956_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9152/9152_1129393956_large.jpg)

here's a detail...

[wildcory1]

Looks great I like how clean your art is. My only coment is maybe a little more detail in the sky?

[ogar555]

... That's... spectacular...

[Jaba153]

jmBoekestein/ remcv8/ sh@ke/ ogar555---> thanx a lot 4 support ..it's very cool cause there's a lot of work on this sh*** and sometimes i don't see the progress..

2xbo/ wildcory1 ---> u right at this moment i haven't already pay attention to the sky it's just a gradient but i know i have to work on it but ther's so many details in this scene and it's hard to make a good balance between shape & colors and i think i'm goin to use the sky to link and give the depth & final mood for the final coloring...

[Jaba153]

startin' detaillin' the foreground...
no color balance at this moment..

[SuperXCM]

OMG :eek: :eek: .....

Lot of details, great technics, i'm waiting to see update, keep posting!! :beer:

anotherdetail...

[Atris]

Hi! Your imagination is just great! I like your image very much! But now I have only one remark. It seems to me that very many buildings and towers must be in the background! I think it'll make sense of the grandiosity, that the city is large! Good luck!

[GonzaloGolpe]

Oh, I hadn´t seen your work:) very original and spectacular, yeah and very dynamic with those buildings like whipes hehe Good job and good luck!

[Jaba153]

sypher----> wally's there... u have to look in the high res pic..
http://www.jabaone.com/optihdef.jpg

[Nikolay]

Details very much impress, interesting theme!..

[spyroteknik]

wow, very nicely done, the road is a great touch

[TheFirstAngel]

funkey style mate, very cool. maybe add in some slightly bluegrey lightup in the shadows to simulate global illumination (those light rebounces) to give in a few more accents to the all over warm tones?
keep up the great work, looks fantastic :)

[cyberarts]

Wow! What a concept!

I like it a lot. So many details. You got a good imagination.

Keep up with your good work.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

[sypherr]

I cant find him :sad:

Very nice work, details are really impressive

[IKIN]

WOWY what detail,
love your style.

well done!
:applause:

[remcv8]

Just looked at the high res version and I must say that the colors really come out, up close. The one in the thread looks diluted, like the colors are washed out a little.

Incredible work!!! Love your art!!!

[MVDB]

Wow, this image is getting pretty fantastic! :thumbsup:
Love the color-tone

[Norberg]

Simply amazing!
The high res really shows the sick amount of detail.
In the high res when only a part of it shows you get the feeling of being in the city wich I really like! It would be a shame to block any of the structures, but what if you added something really close to get that feeling of being in the city instead of viewing it from a distance? Maby an alternative image?
either way this is great!

[Ducklator]

wow... great city... awesome!:thumbsup:

[Jaba153]

mauro../nikolay../spyroteknik../cyberarts../ikin../Ducklator../MichaelMotion---> thanx a lot 4 compliments i think this one is comin to the end.. good luck 4 u allz too:buttrock:

the1st_angel---> cool idea! i think i'm gonna do it thankz!

sypherr--> damn i can't find also maybe it's lost :rolleyes: sorry i have to do it it could be cool 4 sure!

remcv8--> it's very hard to do a correct color balance ..when i see my pic in the thread it looks more shiny & more clear than the one on my photoshop..:shrug:

Norberg---> thanx a lot..i know it's hard and i think u right.. the composition is very chaotic..
and i think i can do better composition with closer shots.. but its a dilema i want to show the whole draw:argh: anyway thanx a lot and good luck with ur cathedral:wip:

MR MEEN

[Jaba153]

wildwire/mr meen----> thanx a lot 4 compliments

[Vectorius]

Hello Jaba! a good work for a great style... like your graffiti stuff. Vive la Belgique!:D

[zpapageo]

Absolutely Fantastic, Mathieu! This reminds me of these things I had as a kid. They were the posters with really detailed sci-fi scenes on them and they came with rub-down sheets with soldiers and aliens and robots and explosions printed on them. You could rub down the figures on the scene to create these really cool battles. I loved them. This is the kind of picture you could look at for a year and still find new things. Really good work! Bravo!

[beelow]

brilliant piece, dude! I can't believe I have missed this thread for this long, really solid, Jaba, good luck on your entry!:thumbsup:

[Lync]

I have a question for you, Jaba153... Are you still able to see straight after doing all those immaculate details? You haven't gone cross-eyed yet have you? ;)

So impressive! Beautiful colours, details and overall image! Great work! :bowdown:

[Atris]

Hi! The excellent work! Congratulations! I like it very much! :) And I wish you creat success in your creativity! Keep it up!
Btw, I have one question. I always find it hard to call my own cities. Have you already thought of this your city's name? :)

[Jaba153]

Fiolka Alexandre--->thanx ,merci beaucoup
zpapageo--->thanx a lot 4 compliments...when i was kid i doesn't have that kind of posters,but my friend at school got a lot :sad: ...it's maybe a reason of my mental sickness:shrug:
beelow thanx a lot gee! and good luck for ya too have a good finish on your dangerous pic!:buttrock:

lync-->straight??? what 's mean i don't know the signification of that word:rolleyes: i use to walk like an egiptian with my head flipped vertical ,one hand in my left eye and the other in my third eye ..

Atris--->hummm that's a hard question..i have the same problem with the names this one is called:"ciudad perdida 28000 años antes de cristo"trans:"lost-city 28000 years before christ"
it's an archeologic place in Colombia...
if my memory is good..your city is located in the planet x or"niburu" land of nomads,indians,& gipsy's and other free mind peoples...and the name is..."redalertopolis"??
...no is not there... damn i have forgot..sorry sergey..

[beelow]

So what is next on the agenda???

[SuperXCM]

Amazing final image, agree with zpapageo, every new time i look it, i fnd new stuff and details. Beautiful!!

Your 3D entry is beautiful too!! You work a lot Jab', it's amazing! :beer:
