this is my initial of an idea. playing around with overall lighting scheme / dimmereing - bluring. i dont know about the concept of this image itself yet. but we'll just have to see. it is defintly going to be somethin in the " Welcome to the second chamber"

these are my two colour samples for my image.

the model is a test model, only the front left buildings are from my buildings scene. but its starting to shape up imo. i like color pass1 over 2, what do you think?

this is my final concept. the charecter (changed from original charecters to a mr.x and patricia) will be placed on the platform in the center of the scene.

i really like this color pass. so i think im gonna go with it.

nice start so far, missing actually a bit of atmosphere and colorvariatons, maybe the sky is too striking to allow other coloraccents to take effect. since the plasma tune is the main lightsource, i'd probably work with gi (global illumination) and blueish rebounces in the shadow aeas, so yellow and blue colorranges should work nicely with each other, and a bit of fog / haze should actually help the feel of depht. Since this is concept work (i take it this is your layout in 3d) adding a lightsetup and some simple volumetrics to a previz helps much to get a feel for the dimensions, and values that make the look (even if low detaied) that the piece will have, getting the feel for if the composition works. hope that helps, keep up the great work :)

Personal views~:)

[nwiz25]

:eek: oooooooooooooooooooooo man! this is freakin good! :eek:

superb combination of navy blue n yellow! very intriguing!

hey! n one more thing dude! ... u can try n add fog or haze ... to create more depth making it more dramatic! .. just an idea .. wat say buddy?? >:D< :bounce:


cheers man! :beer: n good luck to u! :thumbsup:

[brrrhmmm]

I think patricia and Mr X will be running for cover as the ship looks like it is about
to crash.Very nice work.

[menexor]

ok, start to sum up!

first of all:


THANK YOU EVERYONE! for support, ideas and help! (especially firstAngel, working on those tips rigth now! :D)

the time is starting to run out for me! atleast thats how i feel! hehe. but let's see! i might just start speed working alot the comming time! i hope so at least! hehe.

but. things to be done (so u can keep up with my progress if u feel like it!):

1. finishing the two charecter models (this one is my great priority, simply because i am going to start the comp. so that u see more of mr.x and patrecia)

2. finishing the city model and start texturing this.

3. putting it all together.

4. final giant renders

5. the funniest part : photoshop go crazy time! :D

so in about two months lol u should start to see some real prog.!


haha. but for the next couple of days, im going to start checking out the competition, and commenting some of all that crazy progress some of u made! crazy! (im actually starting to think i wont even be close to placing top 50.... top 100 even maybe... some damn goood people here! too good! haha!)

greatest luck to all (and myself !)

Rune.

Good start! Lighting is good, concept begins well, and I like the character studies--but the perspective inside this chamber is not yet clear. Love to see it get a little "rounded up," as if we're inside a huge tin can!

[menexor]

omg GREG BEAR!

you actually posted a comment on MY piece! wow! im astonished! thank you a thousand times!

i will incorparate everythin you said in the final image! workin on the backgrounds background (the "chamber) RIGHT NOW!

thank you so much!

Hey you caught greg's eye.Don't worry about winning because I wouldn't be surprise if David
Brin puts his Startide Rising and Uplift Trilogies up for competition.So more competition like eon challenge possibly to come and more chances.BTW if you put your Mr.X beside Patricia you would have her running for cover.

[brrrhmmm]
