YEA!! Death and destruction…bring it on, baby, bring it on!! :slight_smile:

I love the look of this and agree with elmasfeo’s comments. You still have time to play around with the composition if you want to see what it looks like if you do it the way SideAche suggested.

I love the moon and the colors and overall tone. Great job!!

Looking good!. You’re really getting somewhere. Woohoo! The lizards are coming, you scared me for a second before I read what you hade written. Seriously though I think lizards is a great way to express some sort of culture as they will be domesticated animals.

I don’t like the big planet in the sky, unless it is the reason for the migration. To me it looks to close and takes to much attention. Maby make it smaller. Or remove it all together. I think that the lizards, the alien rock formations and the people explain fully that we are on a different planet than Earth. It makes the planet in the sky a bit reduntant. Maby some alien desert plants on the far right in exchange.

I like the new compostition. Opens up for more emotion, and the line of people creates a great depth in the image. I like the colour of the sky. I think it adds to the sadness, and also purple is a common religious colour, which I think really brings out the grandness of the theme.

Keep it up!

Cheers for the comments folks. I am still working on the composition (when I can find the time!) and will be including some of your suggestions…

Robin, hopefully I will be adding some of the destruction that the people are fleeing from and maybe a farm or homestead in smouldering ruins.

Zem, I don’t know what to do with the planet. I may keep it but reduce it as I still have to add a few ships… and watch this space for the lizards…

Sideache, as I said I am still working on the composition and am experimenting with various other scenes. Hopefully I wil end up with one I’m happy with. (Times running out!!!)

Thnks for stopping by…

See you back here in a bit!

Here’s a concept sketch for the lizards which are being used to transport what’s left of the refugees posessions.

Niiice lizard! hehehe, somehow I was waiting for a velociraptor, but I think it’s better this way, it looks very good!

the only thing is…I know it’s just a sketch but I think you should make the “thing” the lizard is carrying some bigger, I mean, I don’t need a lizard to move that, specially when it floats in the air… it looks like it could be moved with just two fingers…


#26

Ha! I hear what your saying about the cart Elmas but I merely ran out of page!! I thought I could get away with it but you are as sharp as ever!

The lizards will be carrrying everything these guys own so it will be much bigger, but still anti-gravitational…

…christ I’m boring myself already…

I need to get on to the more exciting death and destruction bit…

See you in the next pic

YES! Lizards! I like the semi dino approach. Good luck repainting it in perspective later on.

Keep it up!


#28

ok, hehe, I guess Ipointed it out as a revenge for you pointing out the wind-thing in my thread:D heheheee…

oh yes! hehe, we all like death and destruction… :scream:

Nice concept and like the others i think you should do a more dramtic positioning of the camera.And put something into the left side of the image.
Keep m coming,and good luck:thumbsup:
