[Anarki3000]

VERY GOOD JOB it makes me cry.. :(( i am a fallout fan myself but this is outrageous ! i pray to god that this will be used in the next game of the series. VERY NICELY DONE the scene reminds me of all the aspects of that game

[BlackBastet]

Defonten, this is really SOMETHING!
You've done great job here.
Composition, perspective, lighting, details - all's perfect!
It looks very realistic.

5 stars from me!

[Elsie]

Freaking a-w-e-s-o-m-e! Such amazing detail and great atmosphere. the only thing is the smoke looks a little to uniform and perfectly shaped to me - but I am just amazed. Wonderful stuff.

[iChiaz]

This is amazing... Fantastic details, good composition, colors and lighting.

[Kapow]

Holy crap! :eek: Now there's a piece that's just screaming for a tutorial. :love:

This deserves nothing less than a 5 star rating. Fantastic stuff! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Pletter]

fantastik! :bowdown:

[elnady]

Great work man;)

[kiboSVK]

great wow nice postapocalyptic atmosphere

[Defonten]

Thanks! I am extremely glad you like it!

minminxu - Thank you! Yes, you're right. Painting such scenes is much more fun than actually umm.. seeing it in real life ;)

Anarki3000 - Thanks man! That's exactly what I was thinking about during the work process - to draw something I'd be happy to see in F3 myself :) Just imagine this scene as a part of F3 location! Wouldn't it be fun to explore? Cheers ;)

BlackBastet - Spasibki! Thank you very very much! I'm really glad you like it!

Elsie - Aw, thanks! Cuz' the last week it was all just about adding details and erazing multiplied by x100 :) Thanks!

Chiaotzu - Thank you!

Kapow - Thank you very much! Thanks for such pleasant comments but I think there's nothing too special and interesting to write a tutorial on :) I'm using Photoshop CS2 which I love for it's painting tools and rich opportunities for working on photo footage. Initial sketch was done in a couple of hours (always trying to keep sketching no longer than one'an'half or two hours). Using most of the time Standard Chalky brush set to 100% opacity jitter. Tablet: wacom intous 3. For 3d elements of this scene I used Softimage|XSI 5.0.

Pletter, Ahmed Hosny, Tomas Slobodnik - Thanks a lot guys! I appreciate Your attention and comments!

[jullenar]

To avoid redundancy I’ll just say ditto to all!! I would not have the patients for this kind of thing. Magnificent job! :applause:

[Imo]

oO let me just stare a while!
ok..
This picture is just amazing! There are so many details and the tornado comes out great at the background.
Thats another example for painting detailed is also a great way to show realism.

[Silencer von NMA]

I think you just made my wallpaper.

[Katea]

Great idea! :)) I like the billboard on the right :) Although after a nuclear war there wouldn't be so much left in the city probably...

[Defonten]

jullenar - Thanx! Well It was really fun to work on these details. Even more I just couldn't seem to stop myself from further detaling but it had to end somewhere so I said to myself: "Okay man, if you don't want to be permanently banned on CGtalk for extreme overboring people with unneded stuff that is hardly seen - you have to stop now.." ;) Thanks -)

Imo - Whoa thanks! I appreciate your comments and attention! Of course details are great way to show things in a more convincing way. And that was one of my main goals in this composition. Thanks!!

Silencer von NMA - I'm extremely glad that "No Mutants Allowed" resource's admin is also here :) You have just made my day also ;)


Katea - Thanks! Concerning what might be left and what's not.. well I'll citate phrase from Fallout 2's video intro: "Build the world you were dreaming of.. Results may vary.." ;) Thank you!

[HuiTian]

wow~~it's unbelievable fantastic work!
how did you do that detail~~~cool~
5star~~haha

[geneticlone]

totally awesome, this should defiantly be on the front page. :-D Great job.

[degerardo]

Hey, that`s awersome, amazing and GREAT! 5*****, becasue it is maximum rating :bowdown:

[Para]

This picture has very Fallout-ish feel to it...tell me, did you hide PipBoy/VaultBoy in there somewhere? ;)

[Opeth]

Dude, I'm *this* close the shedding a tear!
I'm also a die hard fallout fan... Its the best atmosphere in a game i've EVER experienced and all I want to do with my life is be part of the creation of a sequel.

back to YOU, of course :)
Kick ass work, really. I'm totally taken by it, you've captured the world excellently - that billboard in the foreground is classical.. agh... Fallout....

Right on man, right on!

[Grenal]

Honestly, I used to live for Fallout.

I'd show every person I know the intro to it. Great frickin' game. It has definitely shaped my artistic style, almost as much as Road Warrior and ass-less chaps...

[Spc]

I like the atmosphere and the idea.
Awesome picture.
:)

[vrexplorer]

[Anarki3000]

PLEEEAAASE GOD!!! just one thing!!! u know what im talking about! FALLOUT 3 pleeeez :(( if something like this would be added to F3 I'd just buy the game and look at it :((

[anostudio]

wowwwowowowo :cry: :cry: :cry: 5 stars:buttrock:

[DAREONER]

nuclear powaa:thumbsup: very good composition and nice colors

[loocas]

Wicked scene man! :buttrock:

Totally awesome details, simply cool matte painting...

http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/rating/rating_5.gif from me no doubt! :applause:

[Ilmarinen]

wow, this is very good painting. so much detail and still very falloutesque (if there is such a word :P). nuka-cola sign is nice touch.

i think almost a year has passed since i played fallout - time to play it again. even more so if you look at the lack of decent new games out there.

[tlggungor]

Good job...Your work is similar to the my gso work :) nice colors and good atmoshpere

[BlinCk]

Just amazing...

[madhatfx]

amazing picture , dude gr8 work but just try this one out, block out the top left corner of the image and it just looks better, the blending of the sky and fg elements is the only thing that dont gel in here , gr8 work dude

[littleac]

Wow! I also love the post-apocalyptic look: Fallout was one of the best games ever made! This image suits the theme perfectly- Love it!

[pailhead]

Wow, its good too see the number of fallout inspired art rising!
The image is great, but i have to admit that i dont really like the atmosphere. The color and the amount of detail i think, make the image really dynamic and somehow alive so it doesn't seem like its really abandoned and dead as it should be.
I'm no expert, this is just my opinion as a humble observer :)

[Adriano-Zanetti]

Really Good stuff, congrats!

only critz I got is about the sun and tornado. Sun seems way too brigt, too strong, should create some more intense contrast in the whole picture and defenitely have some influence on the tornado, but there doesn't seem to be any highlights, glowing, transparency, on it. But mostly, it seriously lacks of wind in your picture, no flying debris, dust, etc... Feels like it doesn't belong there.

For the rest, very nice painting, great detailing, bliboard is cool, damaged vehicles, building, nice touch!

[Sollesnes]

Very nice work, I love it. :)
Only crit is the part with the sun already mentioned.

[Lingolas]

Whoah!!! This is definitely the most detailed destruction artpiece I've ever seen!!! Great job on the lighting and the toning. I just love the way u deal with the broken and fallen buildings. Superb!

[michael-olszak]

this is a very nice piece. i totally love it. i also like the whole "end of the world", " destruction of the world" theme. i think it's really cool.

the only crit i'll give for this one is the tornado. i think there should be a clout of debree where it's touching the ground. and the way it's conneced to the sky is pretty weired, it looks like it was just pasted into the pic.

the rest is super awesome.


keep it up. your work rocks!!

[ralphmanning]

I really like it.

Very atmospheric, and kinda depressing.

I love the lighting. Great work!

[]_onewolf]

Wow without even reading your post, i knew this was a pic about the Fallout series. I too, absolutely love fallout and look forward to F3. Great work dude i love the Nuka cola sign, Golden Gecko sign. You really captured the feel and look to the game. Awesome work.

[iduna79]

Beautiful!

[IllustriousWarriors]

Wickedly amazing, I stared at your work for a good while.

[pisano]

_onewolf']_Onewolf.--Diddo, Fellow Post NUclear vault dweller. I to feel that you caotured the fallout vision perfectly i immediatley devieted to that eira as well, but to my dissapointment I Couldn't see the beloved Pip Boy anywhere in the pic, it would ave been cool as somekind of Hwres Waldo attribte was given to him, Lol, jst jokn, it looks awsome.
My question is regards your technique , how does one master such mouse movement to be able to create such specacular 2D stills without ever slecthing it manually? How did you start this out, I fail to believe that there is a possibility that one can capture perfect details with just a mouse, or is it just me...?:|

[Defonten]

Hui Tian - Thanks! Glad you like it!

Geneticlone - Aw Thanks friend! thanks you so much ;)

De Gerardo - Thanks! I was tying hard really :)

Para - Haha! OK you got it! Pipboy IS in there but it's on the viewer's hand ;) Cheers ;)

Opeth - Thank you very very much man! Ahh believe me - so am I! Working on F3 is one of my craziest and I would say most wanted wishes I have ever dreamed of also -) Thanks!

Grenal - Ah! I know what you're talking about! Really. The same situation with me ;)

Spc - Thanks mate!

Shock_level_4 - Whoa! Thank you so much for Your comments friend! Chox sag ol gardashim!

xric7 - Thanks! :)

Djumpa - I appreciate your attention friend! Thank you very much!

Anarki 3000 - Oh that was a great compliment ;) Thanks!

Anstudio - 10x :)

Dareoner - Oh Yess buddy -) It definitely IS ;) Thanks you!

loocas - I am really glad you like it friend! Thanks for rating it that high, I really appreciate it!

LLmarinen - Woohaal "falloutesque" the new word in my vocabulary ;) Thanks!

-tolga- it's a pity I didn't participate in GSO. Not that I'm sure I'd win anything but it's always required to jump much higher over your head to participate in such High end contests which is a hard to overestimate factor. Your GSO is fantastic!


Blinck - 10x ;)

madhatfx - Thanks for comments and crits! I appreciate it! :)

littleac - Thank you very much! :)

pailhead, Adriano_Zanetti - Thanks for Your constructive crits and comments! Well you might be right, but, you know, understand me right, this is the way I "saw" it :). I was really trying to think more than twice before putting any element in there. If I'd show you the sketch and the middle process of this work you'd be surprised of how many interesting things couldn't make it to final composition. And often it was hard enough for me to delete things which I had so much work on the other day. Of course there are much things that different people see differently and I respect Your opinion. Thank you very much for your crits guys!


Sollesnes - Thanks mate!

Lingolas - Thanks friend! I am extremely glad You like it :)

Crash - Thank you for crits!

Xeophex - thanks man!

]_Onewolf - You know, I think it's really worth working on some thing for three and more weeks to read such words from You ;) Thank you very very much mate. I am glad you like it! :)


Chantyloc - Thank you! -)

aceofamity - Hey thanks alot! Concerning my technique.. well nothing special about it. But it's defintely not about a mouse, it's my wacom Intous3 A4 :) Without it I am afraid I couldn't be able to do anything at all :) Thank you very very much!

Woohaa©! I hope I didn't forget anybody, I apologise in advance if I suddenly did :)
Thank you All very very much!

Also I'd like to thank CGtalk's administration team which put this thread on a frontpage! You are the best!

[Jakob L.]

Freaking a-w-e-s-o-m-e! Such amazing detail and great atmosphere. the only thing is the smoke looks a little to uniform and perfectly shaped to me - but I am just amazed. Wonderful stuff.

couldn't agree more.

5star from me

[Adriano-Zanetti]

pailhead, Adriano_Zanetti - Thanks for Your constructive crits and comments! Well you might be right, but, you know, understand me right, this is the way I "saw" it .



Hehe, of cours of course! Who am I to tell you it's wrong.... I most certainely don't want to argue with you over what "your " art should look like :). My crit was based on the fact that pretty much every element in your scene receives highlights and drops shadows... I was just wondering why the tornado wouldn't... It just felt like it didn't belong here....but don't get me wrong, your work deserves a minimum of 4 stars, no less :thumbsup:

pe@ce

Adriano

[vader]

uoww! great work!! :thumbsup:

[kuma cub]

mind blowing. amazing details. something breathtaking and eerily familiar about apocalyptic settings... im a big fan of stories set after and apocalypse, mad max, water world :eek: the chrysalids, nausica, fist of the north star etc.... and u have captured the atmosphere brilliantly :applause:

[Defonten]

Thanks multiplied by 100! -) Thanks for comments and crits! I appreciate it!
