I haven`t decided yet about the certain concept i want work one,
but definitely there was a part of inspiration stories i was trilled by.

The steam powered spacecrafts, travelling though universe.

I wonder how huge and massive those ships might be.
And i think it wasn`t easy to create huge steam powered machines,
As engineer i know that
steam power is the power always related with high pressures and temperatures.

I want to create something very spectacular and original.

I hope new ideas pop up as i proceed through this very insipiring challenge.

My first speedies are about what i call the launch plateform.
The start point of the journey.

I have an idea, about huge boilers, that can generate enough steam to lift up these massive structures.

[AUMAKUA]

The camera view and the lighting look really awesome, I think it will be a memorable entry :)
best of luck !

[mrpeace]

Hey djamadj! Really good work the camera angle really rocks...:love:
Steam powered UFOs...wow.:applause:
Make sure you finish this up man! it sure will be a memorable entry.

Still looking for cool story,

What if there is a race, somekind of alien race with more technological and sophisticated steam power in our steam universe?

Introducing a character.

A young pilot,
whose steamcraft crashed on the alien planet.

Exploring these giantic alien steamstructures.

[lioration]

Wow- some mighty speed painting!! liked the camera angle & the atmosphere. The only crit I have regards the Hi-tech felling... for now it's lacking the seampunk look & feeling.
Keep up with this cool stuff.
Lior

[djamadj]

Thanks for critics, Lior.

I think i will work on design more after idea fits in my mind.
I do these speedies to find the atmosphere and the story.

Maybe i change my mind at last and do something very different:)
don`t be surprised guys.

[M477]

I really like your concepts, the last one in particular as you get a real sense of scale. I'd like to see you progress this concept and add some colour, then we'll get that steampunk feel.

[chilombiano]

i like a lot more your concept n4!. what is the myth you are choosing ?

[Hideyoshi]

damn, you rock hard, sir!
I love all of these!
Though make sure, you base this on an existing myth or legends, since the rules demand that... Afaik you can't think up your own story really. (which is too bad, I know)

[scho81]

Hey man,
I'm really looking forward to this entry. All of your speed paintings are working & read well. I'm curious on the myth that you've chosen. Great start and best of luck. I'm sure you'll do rather fine. :D

Mike

[asparta]

Incredibly well done paintings !!!..
...it's sad that you have no idea what to do with that...however don't forget about the steam and the "myths and legends" feeling that you need to put in your story....i'm sure you will find the way...good luck.

[Gnomeish]

Wow! Really great visual impact!

[DoomedSeraph]

These are some pretty inspiring starting speedies. I agree with lioration that there is a steam punk feel missing and the other posters that there needs to be a myth or legend underpinning the image ... but I see where you're coming from.

Definately keeping my eye on this one.

[djamadj]

Guys, thank you a lot with your advices.

I hope i caught the feeling and ideas with previous drawings.
But i realized that my story a bit get away from the myth restriction,
so

finally i have a myth on my mind, which i want to work on using the ideas i had before.

Hopefully will post some speedies related to my myth.:)
And proceed further with your help.

[Irawan]

That's incredible sketches,lighting and form is amazing.
i hope you find the best ideas for that.but dont forget about the "steampunk" as well, your sketch is too much futuristic.
looking forward to see your next sketches. goodluck!

[Ros1]

woow! amazing sketches :) I'm waiting for more...
good luck :)

[sato]

wow I love that image...nice mood

Finally idea baked in my mind :)


I took the well-known myth of lost continent.
The Atlantis.


This misterious civilization was lost centuries ago leaving us no physical evidence of its existance.
How can so technological and sophisticated civilization dissapear without any trace.

The answer is simple.

I my story,
The Atlantis was the first and only civilization that built up steam powered machines.
Steam powered huge robotic Atlants.

Steam was the core of whole continent.
Actually the heart of the continent was the huge steam engine.

Very giantic,
able to generate enough steam power to lift up the whole island of Atlantis.

So combining th ideas i had before,
i wanted to create spectacular shot, showing this moment of departure.

Departure of Atlantis to the unexplored universe.


I want to go further to open my story.
Maybe it was not the vulcano erruption that doomed the Atlantis.
But it was the steam generated by giantic core of the continent that people saw from surrounding islands.

I hope i can develope attractive and interesting story based on my ideas.

[SynthOrange]

The thumbnail with the shape and the palms gave me the false impression of a steampunk mushroom cloud!

Trying to find good color.

[DoomedSeraph]

Awesome tie-in and another great speedy. Really loving where this is going, still.

I'd be tempted to keep to the clostrophobic atmosphere that you captured so perfectly in the initial speedies, this last one seems to have taken a very different approach. Perhaps some people crouching from the blast in the foreground as Atlantis breaks the surface behind them? I don't know, but I prefered the inital sketches I think.

[mrpeace]

Totally cool, I like those things that fall out...gr8 work! :buttrock:

[ralphmanning]

Looking great so far. I think prefer the earlier b/w concepts though. The angles are so much more dynamic and interesting. :)

[djamadj]

I think i have a problem of scale,

I really want rising continent to look extra huge:)

[djamadj]

Trying to find proper camera angle,

i want the rising stuff be jusst right up the head of the viewer
to add so dramatism.

The departure of Atlantis was salvation for some
and doom for others.

[djamadj]

Thank you guys for your advices.

I did this far view to open the idea for myself.

But i really work on more close view.
With breathtaking camera angle.

With your help it doesnt seem to be so impossible :)

[djamadj]

I am trying to open a story for myself.

Actually i am well with all concepts i have generated and seriously thinking to jump to video section!:)

My Atlantis just took off and ready for space discoveries.

[Donglu-LittleFish]

Keep those great conceptual images coming!They are full of visual rythmes.

[djamadj]

still uncomfortable with hitech view,
have to work on that.

Another view

[varma]

Wow, this is a very cool concept with exiting camera angles! massive and lots of
atmosphere!
Keep up the good work!
:)

[RogerNobs]

Really like these last two - especially the second to last.

[ralphmanning]

Really like these last two - especially the second to last.
Yeah, I agree. Second to last is really strong. Great angle. Keep it up!! :D

[VictorRojo]

its amazing how you create structures,,, nice work!

Ideas keep coming to my mind,

This is a temple of mighty Poseidon.
The creator of the Atlantis,
the mighty God of water and steam of course:)

[Hideyoshi]

still awesome development there! :)

I am trying to develope my final picture,

I am thinking of some kind of cataclysm,
caused by the launch of Atlantis,

The unbelivable power of steam generated by
steamcore of Atlantis, distroyed near by islands,
Causing distractive earthquakes and storms.
The land beneath the Atlantis was torn apart.

[RogerNobs]

Jamshed, the power and energy is there, but I miss the human involvement - unless those are tiny humans in the foreground, silhouetted? This has tremendous scale.

Very impressed by your control of tone.

[djamadj]

Thank you Roger for you comment,

i am really having hard times in deciding what the foreground i want to create,

Definitely i want to have small tradegy there, like people trying to survive this cataclysm.
Still have to work on that.

[RogerNobs]

All the studies you have shown have a tremendous sense of scale and light.
What about adding some suggestions of colour and refining one of these a little and seeing where that leads? On the strength of your concepts, I'm sure you will be able to paint your self out of any corner!

[djamadj]

Thank you Roger,

struggling with lack of time these days,
but surely want to proceed with one of the concepts!

[CuriousLobster]

You have great concepts and made so well. Are you going to do the last one?
Good luck to you.

[wildcory1]

Strong speed paintings. So simple yet it captures a lot of information. Keep them coming!

[Ataulfo]

Hi Jamshed ,

Wow,You have amazing sketches here.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Not easy to choose one.
Keep it up dude and good luck.
:beer:

[djamadj]

Thank you guys with your support,

Right now i took a little break to recharge my creative batteries :)

But what i am working on now is developing more steampunk looking structures
and also thinking how to implement more Atlantis into my final picture.

Just tried to detail my final piece.

Thought to work on more close view than the previous one,

It will give me more challenge to work on steampunkish details of rising Atlantis.

That would be ne next step.
And the colour of course.

Have to hurry,
time is ticking :)

[RogerNobs]

:thumbsup:

...and he can draw too!!

Fantastic studies.

That last concept looks good to me. I can't find any faults. It has a great sense of space and scale as I said. Go for it.

Just wanted to bring that island theme i had before,

also in previous picture i was feeling like i was removed from the scene :)

Hope this one will bring me back standing just behind that guy.

[Helgi]

I really love where this is going, so powerful and full of action but yet so simple. The only thing that I can comment on is the lack of steampunk feel, right now it's too futuristic / hi-tech but maybe they'll become more apparent when you add in the details.
But it's still looking amazing, I'm definitely keeping my eye on your entry.

[DougFerreira]

From the begining until now your thread is really interesting!Very strong speed paintings and studies,keep up the good work! I am really curious to see some color work!Good luck!

[mouhannad-qsemi]

I like it. Its really professional

This is my favourite, Jamshed.
I feel really involved.

[djamadj]

Thank you guys, trying to do my best!

thank you Roger for your support,

working on color now, hope to post some new stuff soon.
Happy New Year, by the way :))

Droped some color to my picture.

The light coming from steam generated by steamcore, should be eye burning i think :)

trying to fix perspective and combining studies i had before i am trying to adopt them to final picture.

Want to go as crazy as possible in Atlantis structures.

[djamadj]

ups,

loaded it twice.

I thought my previous color scheme was too monochromatic,
tried to develope something different.

This one is making my picture too futuristic which i definetely want to avoid,
so will propably proceed with the next one.

[filda]

what a great epic scene! well done! I like it

I thought that designing the Atlantis in 2D will take a bit longer,
so just dropped basic geometry to the model,
i will render this and paint over it in the final piece.

Wow,
the deadline extension was a surprised for me,
decided to complete my piece.

Just took a photo of my friend for pose reference

[RogerNobs]

Jamshed, this id amazing. I had no idea you were doing all of this. I've been busy and absent for a few days.

I'd really like to see this finished. The coloured concepts have such a sense of power. You really have it now ... and you can model!! Fantastic.

[djamadj]

Thank you Roger:)

i was about to quit the challenge because of the lack of your support:)

seriously i had a plenty busy week after New Year,
and really thankful for extending the deadline,

hope to finish this on time!

Started integrating the model into my scene

[mrpeace]

Heavy work...great going!.keep it up....

[RogerNobs]

Jamshed, the modeling looks terrific. The tilt on the image works really well, but I'm not sure about the blur. I see you want to control the focus of the image and suggest the shaking ground and sense of power, but at the moment it just seems blurry. Hope that is useful and of course ignore it if I'm off base.
I'm really interested to see how you detail this up and maintain that wonderful sense of light from the concepts. Keep going!!

Simply loving your style!!!
Can't wait to see it be finished! :thumbsup:
