Title: Above The Clouds
Name: Tuomas Korpi
Country: Finland
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop
The shape of a nearby Lauttasaari watertower, sky city of Star Wars and some oriental patterns inspired me with new sci-fi painting.
I started with 3dsmax by doing a simple lathe object and rendering the basic guidelines for perpective. I then started to sketch the overall mood, palette and atmosphere and after that it was mainly just straight forward painting it all in detail. I had a lot of fun with all the small details, windows, vents, little leakings, markings on the surcafe and especially with light. Finetuning the cloud tones was again an interesting challenge, and I think it turned out fine.
Feel free to throw comments and critique :)

Hello Tuomas,
I really like this. I voted you a thumbs up ;)
I like fantasy Sci-Fi painting especially ones with such emotion and feeling as this.
the subtle light reflecting off of the structures is done very well. and the loosely painted clouds are very nice too.
If I had to critique something in this picture It would be the stream of spaceships,
there very nice but the ships at the furthest distance should receive a drop in black levels and adopt the blue-gray tint levels of structure in that area.
but its only a small critique, because I love this picture. haha:applause: :)
Hope too see more of your work soon.

Tuomas, excellent and inspiring artwork! I'm into similar kind of illustrations myself and am always happy to see such a nice piece of artwork by a fellow artist - it definitely helps me to "recharge" my own creative "batteries".
Keep up the good work!

That looks great. Has that 70's style feel to it which my favorite artistic style of sci-fi illustrations.

Really nice. My only critique is that I'd expect to see more ships around the base, instead of just a couple ships in a single group. Otherwise, it's an excellent piece, I especially like the painterly clouds.

Just as mustan9 said, this piece also reminds me the great sci fi book cover art of the seventies, the style and colour and brush stokes, it's stunning.

Love the natural, soothing lighting and colour scheme which contrast nicely with the sci-fi subject. Great work.

I love the perspective and lighting on this piece, but the composition could be stronger. The two platforms in the foreground are competing for dominance, and the rear one seems too close, too. But the render quality and drama of the angle almost make up for it. Nice work.

Pretty cool artwork !
I can imagine the fun you had doing this piece ;) I just miss that fun lately.
Yeah, clouds are always a challenge, at least for me they are. They came out great, I like a lot that design printed on the towers, really cool.
Congratulations !

Amazing depth, I love this. The lack of objects close to the viewer makes me long to fall into the image all the more.

Wonderful work! I absolutely love this!!
One question if I may:
On the structures you have what look like panels. I was wondering if you could spare the time to show how you add that detailing?
I assume you use a pattern and then skew it or liquefy it in PS?
Again Great work! Thanks for sharing with us!
EDIT:
Here's what I mean:

Fantastic colours. I really like the decorative motives on the stations, It gives us some insight into the people who made these grand structures and gives the piece oodles of creative flare :D
