this I thought could be the gates or the opening on the asteroid and the ship is coming in...I didnt read the book just some stuff on the cgt, ...
please c&c are welcome, to know if I am on the right path...
cheers

[AIR]

I havent read the book either ,but I'd say you are on the good way to struck a gold... :)

Samo nastavi stari,,svidja mi se.. :thumbsup:

[nwiz25]

i agree! that is really cool man! :)

[nwiz25]

i havent read the book either ... little scared n all ... relying on my lil mind wat to do ... :)
plus the description that was given along ... :S

[silvia]

Great idea to choose a scene of the outside of the Stone!

I am not sure about the composition, the way the edges of the asteroid and the Earth touch. I think you should either separate them, or have the 2 shapes overlap a bit more. Just an opinion though.

[Golpe]

Hi there! good luck to you! well, I´m just reading the book and the entry looks like a crack inside a crater, surrounded by a structure which looks like a beehive. In this crack, there´s a tunnel where the ship enters.

Anyway, I´ll be watching to your progress!:thumbsup:

[OZ]

simply magnificent !

[ukitel]

The idea is very simple, but it can be a magnificent work.
Probably the position of the asteroid and the earth don't work so well... I agree with silvia... try to overlap them a bit.

[ICHOMA]

Excelent Perspective, i am eager to se your next step.

[TheFirstAngel]

great sketching style, looks like nice start :)

[cok3]

looking cool so far buddy, hope to see some more updates!

[Cmonaccio]

That looks fantastic and is honestly how I began a sketch today myself, cept mirrored to the other side. I am actually reading the book at this point and that is exactly how I envisioned that scene.

I think the asteroid and the earth look fine but the ship should be much, much smaller. The way it's described in the book, the asteroid is gigantic, it has dead cities and expanses of land inside it. Scale down the ship and it would be spot on.

I also agree with Silvia that the slight overlap or separation would add more to the perspective.

Excellent start!

[beelow]

Looks promising dude good luck with your entry!:thumbsup:

[MVDB]

Your thumb took my attention! Very nice sketch/concept. Keep going!

[Wysocki]

Nice concept, :thumbsup: maybe You should try in other composition or perspective ?? Spaceship near, place camera on back off the ship, :)


any way Good Luck to You, :)

[celiksert]

i think color perspective is all right.
Some little tweaks in composition will be fine :))

[Rebeccak]

Great to see you in this mazalo - best of luck! :)

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

[InTerceptoV]

Great concept. I will follow your thread for sure. ;) Go Go Go!!! :thumbsup:

[michael-olszak]

[SONIC-X]

Realy nice looking concept.

[rahulmehta]

Nice composition , good luck for the challenge

[SquishMe]

Yeah, very cool concept.
I like the mood. As if journeying into the unknown.
Cool. Good luck!

[ReinaldoRomero]

Great concept, maybe the aspect ratio should not be a square, changing the format will help for shure. I will follow your thread, good luck

[faultymoose]

Nice sketch!

[warpy]

looking good, will visit later on too.

[Slav]

very cool start.

another thread to watch.

[nwiz25]

really wanna c the details in this one!

cheers n good luck to u buddy! :thumbsup:

[mazalo]

Thanks guys for C&C...

Well, I listened some of your critics so I changed the composition...Thanks Gonzalo, I made that crack in the crater you were talking about...
...Hope something like this is entrance in the book to...
..steel having trouble with that since didnt read the book...

cheers,

maz

[Golpe]

Yeah! it looks better!! Another thing. I think you´d change the angle of the ship or the composition cause the entry and the ship are on the same invisible horizontal line and this fact makes that the ship and / or the asteroid looks smaller.

Go for it! I send you extra-energy,hehe:scream:

[ramy badie]

If you go to amazon online, you can search for the book and it will let you read the first chapter, which should give you an idea of the way they land on the asteroid :) I am really liking how your concept is coming out, good luck with the contest.

[Anatomista]

I picked this description from the first two chapters avaliable here, in the contest info. I think it is kind of between your conception and mine (take a look at my entry). I am still hesitating to go on with my work before I know how the entrace really is like.

“The Stone’s albedo matches any of a number of siliceous asteroids. Apparently, that’s what it was at one time. Here’s the south pole now,” Rita said.
In the middle of the large polar crater was an indentation-judging from the scale of the Stone itself, quite tiny, no more than a kilometer deep and three or four kilometers wide.

The Stone’s rotation was easily discernible. As the OTV matched course with the Stone, then began its approach along the axis, the crater enlarged and showed even more detail.

With hardly any surprise at all, Patricia realized the floor was marked by shallow hexagons, like a beehive.

At the center of the indentation was a circular black spot about a hundred meters across. A hole. An entrance. It loomed larger and larger but lost none of its intense blackness.

The OTV slid into the hole.

“We have to maintain our position about five minutes, until they bring the rotating dock up to speed,” James or Jack said.

“We did all this?” Patricia asked, her voice unsteady. ”In just five years?”

“No, honey,” the blond said. ”It was here already, I’m sure you’ve heard the Stone is hollow inside with seven chambers. We have a fair number of personnel and thousands of tons of equipment in there, doing God knows what and finding things we’d give our eyeteeth to see, believe me. But this is where our knowledge stops, and we’ve been instructed not to pass along rumor. You won’t be needing it.”

“We’ve been riding a docking signal for the last seven minutes,” James or Jack said. ”Voice contact any second.”

The radio chimed. ”OTV three-seven,” a calm tenor male voice said. “We have prime dock rotating. Advance at point one meters per second.”

Nice work, by the way!

Regards.

@anatomista...@ramy badie...thanks guys...this is very helpful..:)

I now changed the position and the perspective...the ship is aproaching the krater...I think this is writen on page 25-26 of the book ,and I hope I translate it well...

[OKMER]

Yop Mazalo!!!Really nice sketch!!!
Personnazly kind a prefered your second sketch, the background with the earth,the universe etc,...Felt more epic to me.What ya think?

The opening got some kind honeybee feeling.

Anyway really great sketches Mazalo, and looking forward for how you'll work this out

May ze forz bee with U!!!:thumbsup:

[brrrhmmm]

I like the shuttle design.Have considered some interior chamber scenes.Look forward to
the subsequent stages.

[Nazirull]

Somehow i feel that it should show the first time a hole was discovered on the Stone...the emotion. But i reckons that they already know that there is seven chambers in the Stone before they flew there.

I just finished the prologue.

It has a nice classic sci-fi to it. :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

well i like the new perspective. it has a great sense of movement and so far works great. the only thing i am not convinced with yet is the beehive cells. arent they just hexagonal marks on ground made of light?
keep up the great work, cheers
