Is that a propane tank it's drinking out of?
jk

[firstIssue]

no, there are the wires you see ? and they are pumping the blood and other things out of the body, and the tech-arm is the main "pumpline" . i think you´ll understand it, when it´s textured

[Cullen]

While it looks really cool (and it does) I think you are jumping the gun a bit here. I don't see how this ties into an alien landscape yet. Maybe you should do some more sketches before you continue.

At least to get a few ideas down before you comit yourself to a piece.

But I certainly am interested in seeing where this is going.

[firstIssue]

alright, thanks for the tips, you´ll see, that there we´ll be a great landscape coming up next, like i said, it´s 2% finished ;) ^^

[firstIssue]

i´ve uploaded a new version of my picture, i´m starting to make a landscape, so you can see, how i´m going to combine the body with the landscape

This is my modelling without textures and real lightning.

This is made in Photoshop and was a first try for my picture, just concept.

[Cullen]

I have fixed the gamma on my computer and can now see alot more of your image. It is looking really cool. You've got a great style there.

[firstIssue]

here is the first look for my textures, all not finished. i´ve got a newer picture, but i think, it´s for 80 % the final one. so i keep it secret until i made everything to what i want it to be ^^

[mbatten]

Whoah, now I see where this is going, it looks pretty cool!

just some color tests , c&c welcome !

Seems to me as if you might be rushing this project a little much...afterall we have 3 months.
I feel that your image is lacking in good color coposition and it just feels very flat and muddy. the overall concept works well, I think you just need to spend more time getting some additional depth into it.

[firstIssue]

i know what ya mean, but my way of making pictures is, to make a lot of pictures and at the end, get the best of all in one picture or choose the best of the pictures as my final. :) so don´t be worry gg

[firstIssue]

here is a newer version of my work. it´s now a mix of sketch and final work ^^ so don´t be surprised. i tried to make more landscape and environment in the image.

c&c welcome !

just a new try

[firstIssue]

no comments ? it´s just a wip , please gimme some critics

[JamesMK]

It's a bit difficult to see what's going on in these two last renders. The previous concept drawings were more readable, though they had a bit of a thematic problem, i.e. they show an apparently decaying world, which unfortunately doesn't go well with the brief for this challenge.

I guess the texturing you've made here could benefit from less grain and bump since it sort of ruins the scale of things.

I think the geometry could turn out interesting enough, but you'll need to work more on the textures and lighting.

Keep it up!
