Finaly I started to reading EON, ít´s good but sometimes, I realy don´t know what is about. Some place are hectic, but mostly that which could be very interesting. But is there many good scenes for ilustrations with not many information. I think it´s very good, because then we can more use our imagination, and in the final of challenge will see some same scenes which be looking very different.
to my concept, one of first scene in book which cover me is scene of docking racetoplan in asteroid. I try to make it more sci-fi then is it in book.

[walrus]

These are all looking fantastic, rawwad! The colors and the upper buildigns in this latest post especially so. And now that you've got the main judge for the Challenge posting to say he likes it, i guess you have no choice to choose this latest one!
Good luck!

[DanBird]

Wonderful concepts, I particularly like your Thistledown concept 02 the most, the colours plus the architecture and the composition work together well.:thumbsup: Good luck.

Nice concept, should look good if your concepts are anything to go by!!!

[Kerem]

Hello dear Rawwad

Outstanding artwork as usual. I love your concepts and realizations... Keep up the great work mate and best of luck to you :thumbsup:

[icedeyes]

Great concept man... surely more futuristic than the one Greg Bear describes in his book... which is a good thing since he describes 2005 as the future, while for us its the present...

[EnSoph]

wow the last one looks great! Good luck :thumbsup:

[Anatomista]

That is great! Keep it up. The lines work very well in this perspective.

[Terro]

Very cool atmosphere Tibor. The minor detail is really making the image come alive. Love the choice in color. Looking forward to your updates.

[JurajMolcak]

Hey Tibor! Progressing great I see :thumbsup: Love the mood and color scheme. Will you bring some of the life forms in it? Keep going!
Tiez sa ti zda, ze tato sutaz sa taha dost odlisne ako predosle? Mozno to bude tym, ze upravili pravidla a kategorie...

[NiZu]

Hi...Wow,
I quote above: great perspective, details, contrast, and color scheme !
the concept 02 was great also, with that saturated red/blue tones..

Keep'em coming!

[walrus]

Gorgeous work, Tibor. i like how you moved those two huge buildings furhter apart so that we can see the plasma tube in the gap between them. Wonderful stuff!

-mike

[mdavid]

This is powerful, beautiful stuff. The city in your illustration is more densely constructed than I imagined it from the book, but I would not suggest changing anything because I love how awesome and fascinating and almost intimidating that makes it look - and that definitely fits with the impression I got from the book. Wonderful work, Tibor. If you could manage to capture some of the curvature of the walls/ceiling and vast distance to the ceiling then you could have a winner here. Good luck

[LightSovereign]

Hey rawwad

stunning!. those complex curves for the different highways? i pressume are pure eye candy, the strong greens leave a nice ethereal feel about this piece..

i have to say though my favourite of all the progressive images is the mid step with the more bulbous structures up the back and the gentle clouds with the light shining through.. I like the feel of these structures being closer together in the composition..hhmm i guess i fell more drawn in to this universe, i think they leave more of an impression..(HAHA i just read walrus's opinion, serves me for coming in late)

your poste prior to the latest has more aqua blue, and i thinks its because you have a lighter colour for the buildings, more light to me seems more effective..

owell those are just my ramblings :).

its comming along nicely

great work and thanks for dropping by my neck of the woods..

Marley

[MarkyG]

Fantastic. You've nailed those golf tee's!


I must admit I prefer the colour treatment in #47, but really they're all fantastic.

Cheers,

[rawwad]

Thanks a lot guys! I glad you like it.
I should write more to your comments, but still have no much free time for this challenge.
But I hope that I finish it in time and in quality as I want.

[NH]

Really really impressive !
Outstanding work !
Waiting for your next one.

[DanBird]

Superb, one of the best.:thumbsup: Hope you finish in time.

[NinjaA55N]

hi there! I love the structure of ur city! But I noticed that a previous version is sharpened a bit? I must say that it works so much better... so I guess in the latest image there should be also more highlights, sharp edges and so on. I think u also covered too much liht parts from the previous version. Bring more contrasts back. Cant wait to see more :)

[pkneeshaw]

wow looking good

[rawwad]

NinjaA55N: Thanks, yes I now, I have bit messy in my updates, but it will sharpen, it makes structures more visible as you said.
Thanks again friends:) Now I have some free days, then I try to finish it. Will see in 2007, hehe:)
:beer:HAPPY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR CGtalkers:wavey:

[Ranath]

hey, you got a lot of going on there.. pretty cool work! maybe refine the middle area a bit, there's a bit too much going on when it comes to those road things. Maybe put some of them clearly into shadows. And try to keep your edges clean, you're gonna have hard time cleaning all that up now. Anyway good luck, have fun!

[kbarts]

Nice work friend! I hope you can finish it! I am wating the next step! Cheers

[OKMER]

maybe sharpen up some more a bit indeed and bring in some other colors to contrast a bit with the rest but i really love the atmosphere!
Hope you can finish it!

last update, final image. It´s done.
I am so happy that´s it finished, because now I must work on many school works.
I am not sure about name of it, it should be scene of last living days in Thistledow. Population moving to Axis City, and Thistle down is ready to be shut off. Maybe I called it, only Thistledown, or Thistledown day D :)
(what do you think guys, how should I called it?)

Also I need HELP, please if anybody know any good FTP send software to download. Please tell me, I need it, to post upload final.

AND BIG THANKS TO CGtalk FRIENDS WHICH POSTING TO MY THREAD !!!

I agree a bit with ginushi for maybe putting in some more variated textures.also personally i find that the rock to the left with the bleu lights in it makes it a bit difficult to read the forme of the first giant mushroom in front of us.
