Just an idea to test out colours etc... no real direction decided on yet.

Will add more as and when!

just a continuation of the previous scene. looking at positioning of the surroundings and beginning to defy physics.

I'm just puddling round with photoshop to create some scenes which might inspire some kind of tangent which will lead me to a final concept. :buttrock:

It's impossible to block all that we have seen from our minds when trying to create something original. Infact i dont think anything has ever really been truely original. Everything new is a combination of things old. I dont think we should ignore our influences but we must at least make an effort to expand upon them in some way.

In my next few concepts I hope to strike upon something at least partially 'new'. :thumbsup:

And i wish everyone entering this comp good luck. I got a feeling there will be some pretty sweet ideas popping up in this one... :beer:

Great start! Keep up the good work! :applause:

All artists come from a legacy of influences, so its basically impossible to have an original idea. I feel that our original ideas are compilations of all our influnces, thus becoming our own.

OK, enough philosophy! :eek:

I really see a cell splitting within a womb; not sure if thats what you're going for. I just thought I'd throw that out and see what you thought.

I realize your just fussing around right now but: I don't like the light speckled purple in the background. It's too detailed, bringing the background forward and flattens the image.

Whether thats a cell, planet, atom, or whatever its an interesting image. Keep going! :thumbsup:
