this is the composition that i want to use for the story. trying to create drama with the angle & the field of view.

Hey there,

Perspective is great, very dramatic. I think its going to add alot of impact to the pic, cool background as well! Maybe your main characters pose should be a little more emphasised, his knees a little bit more bent as if the gorgon is pressing down on/trying to tear away the shield with all her strength!

[omoro]

thanks man, will do.

finish the modeling for the background, almost finish the texturing.aiming for the background to look good but not to stand out too much.

just a test to get an idea of the lighting i want to use

[Archibald]

hey dude!
your colours fit together nicely! i really like how you are combining ancient architecture with steam-age stuff on the left - really strange. the newly-added gothic cathedral may be a bit much though haha.

let's see medusa!
cheers, n.

[omoro]

Hello everybody,I am almost completion of 1 of the characters of my scene, All the metallic parts of the character is 3d, i use Sketchup & vray to create it, as i am not so great with 3d max or maya. additional texturing was done using photoshop CS2, it took awhile getting the composition right as there was too much focus on the background, but i finally got everything to some extent working together. need to work on colour & lighting correction thou.

[themightym]

Awesome! This is way better than your first Perseus idea, stunning man, cant wait to see the final!

this analysis shows how the background & the character composition works.

a few images i used in the scene.i also used pictures i took for reference. most of the scene was started as 3d, then repainted.

Perseus was said to be the son of Zeus and a mortal woman named Danae. Medusa was a Gorgon whose look could turn a person to stone. Perseus slew Medusa cutting of her head and using it as a weapon.

Software: Photoshop,VRay

This is my Steampunk image entry. It embodies the myth of Perseus Vs. Medusa. One of the major reasons for choosing this myth is because of it's popularity & widespread appeal and recognition. I also liked the idea of a good fight scene. the choice of the composition was to create drama, i wanted the main character to be in a 'stiky position'. he has no choice but to fight. both warriors are more than equiped for this epic battle. As shown in the process the majority of the background is 3d, done in google sketch-up & rendered with vray for sketch-up. it was later postprocessed in Adobe photoshop CS2, additional texturing & lightcorrection was done. All the metalic parts on the characters started out as 3d, & went through the same process as the background. the major part of the charactors such as the cloths & skin was painted in photoshop with a few photographic references of my own. after all that, the end result is as such; Perseus Vs. Medusa steampunk style.
