[OZ]

COOL! cool monkeys! love it!

[beelow]

Long time no see Jason! Welcome to the challenge and good luck. I like the ape so far, Nice colors and nice action. Where is the human and alien interaction though? I think that is something that you want to look into getting in this image. Good luck.

[lynch]

[maykrender]

i changed the position on the gorilla and chimp raised them higher crop the sides off as well to mske the more of the focal point, and to give me more room for the other elements.

bear in mind i started like five days ago and i have to leave home to get an internet connection so i saved my process stages and continued to work, therefore im posting them all at once... in this stage i changed the birdlike guburu aliens from the forground i hated them , i added my human and a few distant chimps in battle.

refined the human and som background elements.

ok like i said before based on the stuff i read from the uplift war excerpt thats was posted for inspiration and the other bits and pieces, i came up with this ...i so wanted to do this in video but i quit that ...so here goes , planet garth my verson is under attack by guburu invaders (the bird creatures) for those who did not read anything ... the alien girl Athaclena and human Robert together with chimps to fight the invaders ...in the center fiben the main chimp character againts irongrip the gorilla from evil side, i dont actually know if he is evil but thats how i have it ...this is a loose representation since i have not read the book ...

[Banjavor]

The neochip likes Disco style. I think the composition is quite dinamic. I see the rapid move of strong attack:cool: Hope you good luck

[DyingArt]

Great work, Cool action scene and I like how you designed Athaclena, Love the style of the image
Good luck :thumbsup:

[Ataulfo]

You have done a very good image.
I can see the motion there.
Hurry up

[MartinNielsen]

Very good action scene. And excellent style :thumbsup:

[OKMER]

Woww, luv that mood and colors!
Great work!

[lynch]

thanks for the comments ....i always look for crits but havent gotten any i feel a bit empty without them i keep thinking ishould have done more on the other hand my grandspace entry makes me think i do to much .....any way ...when was this dominance war thing i is that over i see some nice entry from you guys.......

[lynch]

[vmulligan]

"Get your stinking paws off me, you damn, dirty ape!" :)

Nice illustration work. Well done.

[KOryH]

cool stuff. the colors and action are very fun

[lynch]

spiderwick fairies make me madd ....VERY

[Neubius]

that's brilliant!


nice work, really dynamic.
good luck man.

[Ferx]

Hey Jason, cool image!! Like a lot the composition on it! Totally dynamic image wit a great sense of the action! Cool!! Congratulations for this great artwork! Best of luck !! Cheers mate!! :beer:

[theflash]

I love the image. Especially the dynamic figures in the center make it very interersting for me. However I dont like that flash coming out of guy's gun in the bottom, it's distracting from the main characters. I feel its too bright. Other than that love it.

[lynch]

yo sorry guys i meant to reply earlier but i coulnd not get a good connection ....glad for the comments ofcourse,,,theflash i too think the laser is a bit distracting ...not only the brightness but also the position it is on the image causes that problem...but i did this a little to last minute to work out a way to get around that ...and i really wanted direct conflict between my human character and the guburu to help the story along .....i really could not decide quickly enough .....maybe less white...but on the other hand without it there was so much dead space....and my other characters seemed less connected , somehow it helps seperate the too sides...atleast in my head. Now that somone else saw that ...its gonna drive me nuts

[Pegahoul]

Whoa cool image. Very dynamic. I wish we could see what the guys are shooting though... it looks like the image is cropped or it's part of a bigger pic...

[lynch]

hes shooting at he bird men ..that is why the laser goes in that direction and bursts on impact ..it does look crop but any bigger ant i really changes the focal point... at least to me

[simoncheng]

stunning works.
love the color pallete.
well done, my friends.

[morganvillette]

Very nice work !
