Amazing detail & DOF. Superb comp!

[rubsrubs]

Great!! 5 stars!

[carbonmatter]

This rocks! Great extreme perspective, like the design and lighting. Really well executed!

Kudos!

[picksel]

Fantastic work!

[DarkSkills]

All I can say is WOW! just WOW! :thumbsup:

Hey Tim !

Nice work... good sense of depth and perspective.
I just love the dramatic feel given by the extreme camera angle.

The flames coming out of the flying ship are a bit too red for my taste, they keep pulling my eye away from the scenery towards them. Maybe adding a bit more red to the surrounding structures using the flame as light source would help balance it, or pushing their palette towards more golden colors would do the thing.

Again, just love that composition, reminds me of some stuff by McQuarrie or Johnston.

[niva]

Holy crap,
This is absolutely amazing, I wish you had posted a high resultion link. How long did it take you to make this? Looks absolutely fantastic and should be in the cgchoice gallery. 5-stars from me.

[thenextside]

hey thanks guys I apretiate all your kind words.

Ben, good to see you on here. Thanks for your feadback. You make some very good points. I agree. Adding some red lighting would help. Say hi to Sean and tell him to get his but in gear and start posting his work here!

Niva, thanks. When you click on the image you should get a 1600px wide image. Do you want bigger then that?

Cheers,
Tim

[yellowdog]

I should see Sean this morning... he's working on a new series of mattes. I'll try to get him to post them when he's finished. They would make for a very interesting first post.

have a good one !!

Hi!
A really good sense of details...
I like the technology shown in your painting, cause it seems real and functionnal, with an history...

Great job, really

[MikkoK]

Kick ass stuff! I really like this loose yet defined way of portraying environments.

one crit: the character on the right is a bit hard to 'read' because of the small head.

5 stars nevertheless!

[Defonten]

Oh my god.. spectacular! I just Love the overall mood of the composition, it's detail level and storyline behind! Nothing less than 5 stars from me! Keep rocking! :)

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Impresive !...there is so much detail in this...:thumbsup:.

[ffourier]

astonish work ! love the mood. The lightning is also impressive. Very good job !

[loocas]

[warpy]

[allenweis]

wow wow wow brother this is gonna kill everyone! fantastic work. what can i say... magnificent..

nice color and depth and contrast and details.

5 stars

[thenextside]

You are all too kind. Thanks for all your encuragement. This was a fun piece too work on.

Allenweis, I just checked out your stuff. Crazy! Folks if you haven't already seen his stuff you need to hustle on over there right now. Dude has some serious skills.

Cheers,
Tim

[Voluntas]

It looks very nice but i wonder why people that make such a future images always think that there wont be any safety fence/barrier/grill in the future. lol

[thenextside]

it's an invisible fence ;)

[Urrgos]

Awesome image. I really like how you've used both strong vertical and horizontal lines to create that real sense of depth. The lighting and texturing in incredible, and I really like the "graphitti" detail on the side of the ship. I'd love to see a few more ships zipping around in the background, just to fill out the city with some life. Small critique though... amazing work!

[Raphael-Lacoste]

Wow!

what a nice picture! I'd love to see a wip :)

best

[livingrope]

a blast... my 5 stars. I never gave 5 stars btw. you the first.

[thenextside]

Urrgos,
Thanks I'm glad you like it. I agree, more ships is on my to do list.

Hey Raphael,
Thanks man. I'll try and dig up some working versions and post them.

Jean-Sébastien,
Thank you. I'm honored that I am the first. You should check out Raphaels work for some serious 5 star material.

Cheers,
Tim

[Cernunos]

Holy God!! that´s amazing job, I wanna have 10% of your talent... congratulation

[rawwad]

Very nice work! I like it, especialy backround is amazing! :thumbsup:

[ashen]

The contrast between focal areas are right on~nicely lit.

[MattVogt]

I'm with Raphael with hooking up a WIP! I know it can be a pain since the main focus is the piece and not the process. Great job of balacning details and the sketchy painterly feel (above the dock for example). The detail for the cityscape breathtaking, escpeicially near the left of the upper vanishing point. The wind's blowing to the right I see -awesome man .

I hope I get a remote started for my ship...

The lighting on the underside of the left building kicksass as well.

Great work,
Matt

[O'Connor]

Hey Tim,

What more can I say that others haven't? This piece looks absolutely awesome! I don't know where you find the time to do work of this quality, but keep it up!

Beautiful work!

-Ciaran

[Stefan-Morrell]

awesome work Tim..there's some great stuff on your site too
...well done!


Cheers
Stefan

[CGFelker27]

your work is absolutely insane! It just keeps getting better with every new post.......congrats on this piece!

[BlinCk]

Absolutely amazing work! fantastic colors and light!
Awsome

[Rudeone]

Absolutely stunning piece! and yes please post some WIP images, I'd love to see your working process.

[thenextside]

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the feedback. I have made a few changes based on a lot of your excellent suggestions. Also here is the WIP that a few of you requested.

Basically there isn't anything special about my process. I began by working up a sketch with 3 point perspective.

Then I began to overlay textures and add atmosphere and lighting.

I also changed my mind part way through about the ship design. There was actually a third design previous to these but I didn't bother posting it.

Enjoy.

[thenextside]

Hi Wasriyah,

Thanks, glad you like it. I have not been to photoshopcafe.com before. There are so many forums out there. I tend to stick to this one the most along with www.mattepainting.org and www.cgchannel.com

Cheers,
Tim

[kbarts]

Wonderfull image! i like the steps! it is helpfull for me to build a picture.

[Sabi05]

Amazing image! 5+

[AnalyzeThis]

very impressive (the details and the lighting )
did you start this from scratch or you were inspired by something else?

[litansen]

wah....,its very nice.... im very like your works....

[carbonmatter]

Well looky here, you got yourself a CG Choice award! Sweet!

It was only a matter of time bud, (but now you can sleep at night) congrats!! As noted already, I really like the piece, and the dev stages are great. Now you've got to live up to being an award winner, so keep 'em comin:D

[allenweis]

Congratulation! again! man! you got a big effort.


cooll.

[thenextside]

Thank you all!!

AnalyzeThis,
This painting started from random blobs. I started it when I had some down time at work one day. You can see in the first frame of my breakdown that it is very loose and fast. It's all about mood and composition at this point. I'm conscious of my perspective form the very beginning. From there I work on creating depth and figuring where those blobs sit in space by pushing some back and bringing some forward with contrast and saturation.
As far as inspiration goes Blade Runner is always close to my heart :)
Hope that helps.

carbonmatter,
Indeed I was beging to develop a complex. No sleep for me though. Need to do better... must keep... painting......

Cheers,
Tim

[Fahrija]

Hi Tim,
Congrats for Award Winner - one of my favorite artworks within your portfolio.

best wishes

[jouanart]

This piece has a wonderful industrial tech feel to it.

I also enjoy the sense of space between figures and the narrative it inspires. I feel that there may be something more to the figures than a simple goodbye. The female's (?) garb and the fact that she stands so formally distant sets up a nice tension.

There is definitely a story here!

[SquarePixel]

Hey nextside,

Congrats, well deserved, this was an awsome piece, look forward to more!:thumbsup:

[XRAYCHN]

WOW.god job! I like the details. 5 stars!

[I-NetGraFX]

Hi Tim!

Congrats to your choice award! Was about time !!
I really like the composition and the perspective setup in your artwork.
Can't wait to see some more stuff from you ...

Are you coming to the Adapt Montreal this year?
I hope to see Dan there too.

Best Regards,

Daniel

[thenextside]

Fahrija,
Thanks I'm glad you like it.

jouanart,
Wow you see all that? lol I really enjoy paintings with a sense of story to them. I wouldn't say that I'm deliberate about putting it in my own work but I am always trying to consider who might be living in these places I'm painting. I like to try and capture a moment in time.

SquarePixel,
Thanks man, more on the way...

XRAYCHN,
Thanks. I don't think I'd give it five but I'm happy to take five from other people ;)

I-NetGraFX,
Thanks Daniel. Ya it took me a while. Oh well it's good to stay humble. If it was easy to get it wouldn't mean much. Glad you like the painting. I promise there are several new paintings coming soon. I just need to get some spare time back. Yes Dan and I will both be at ADAPT. Should be an awesome time. Will be great hooking up with all you talented Montreal artists. I'm convinced your plotting global domination over there;)

Cheers,
Tim

[Guillaume-Le-Tual]

Amazing Work Tim!

very cool image ! :buttrock:

[Gaffer]

A lot of people have technical skill out there - you are one of them :) . When you can convey a feeling or emotion without pushing it literally in the viewers face (which you did on this piece) you have made it to the next level. Congrats on this piece.

[LordEdwin]

This is an amazing piece, Tim. I'm in awe.

Looking forward to seeing your stuff at the Dawson alumni show Wed. Oct. 18th/06. I'll be serving wine :P. I'm a third yearer.
