Grand Space Opera 2D Entry: Fabian Hernandez

#41

To be honest, I liked more the first idea of the light planet being invaded by the dark bad guys, your new idea with the professor and all of that is much more original, but not very readable, or at least I don’t know what’s going on by simply looking to the image without reading your story… I’m not saying it’s bad, maybe you could try to change the composition or something…:shrug:

anyway, I hope you make your mind clear with the concepts, I’m curious to see how it finally develops, good luck! :bounce:

#42

You’re right, you’re right, and I AM going back to the first concept (more or less) but I really have trouble with the concept because so many people are making a giant battle and planetary bombardment and so on… I anyway prefer to make something more or less peaceful, or threatening but without massacre… but with ‘epic’ and ‘iconic’, ‘grand civilisation’ and ‘pivotal moment’ as instructions…

…I like Tommy’s concept but he was first :slight_smile:

So anyway what I’m saying is that I’m going back for the first concept but I’m still thinking of something different, maybe sommething cartoony (the last concept was also getting cartoony). We will see, but for now, I won’t bore you with more crapy concept work :slight_smile:

#43

In your quest to nail the concept, try and remember what it is that really excites you- it’s probably something from when you were a kid. Personally I like junkyards and shipwrecks, so that’s what I’m going with. It’s really easy to overthink this and try to come up with the winning concept, and ultimately that can really kill your inspiration. Every one here is dealing with the same thing, so take your time and develop a concept that you can’t wait to work on every day.

I think you have a great imagination!

@ebrowning: Thanks for your advice!

Lately I’ve been thinking much about how to go on with this and I’ve found out that I don’t like the concepts I have so far to continue with them.
I’ve got quiet a lot of ideas in my head but somehow none of them seem to convince me.
I’ve decided however to put these down as rough sketches, cause later I might want to combine some of the sketches to a concept I really like and want to go on with.

#45

so, as I said, I’m just putting some ideas down.

This is a giant space station around a black hole, and there’s a ship that’s just gonna make the first jump through the black hole.

#46

NIce concepts. Since i have always had a some kind of weakness for cityscapes, i recomend you to continue working on the “blue city” concept :wink:

#47

Just an other loose sketch. The hero is trying to keep the villain from pressing the FIRE button

#48

@KaleN: thanks, maybe I’m gonna go with that one, I don’t know yet… :sad:

#49

A ship on a deep space mission surprisingly discovers that they’re not allone…
The aliens live in space and seem to be made of light

#50

from all your ideas, the ones I like the most are the first one with the planet of light invasion, and this last one, but just if you changed a bit the composition, or at least the pose of the light-guy… it’s just my personal taste, but I recomend you to go with the one that YOU like most, …hehe you know, you are the most important person in this thread! :wink:

#51

Ok, so I finally decided what to do. Now the fun coloring and detailing part starts!

#52

@elmasfeo: Thank you for your continuing support. You’ve helped me a lot!

#53

nice stuff man . . can not wiat to see how it goes.

#54

ooo i like that last update, very ethreal feeling =D keep working at it!!

#55

Sorry guys, just a small update, had lots to do lately. Next step will be to give those buildings an interesting shape. Thanks for your feedback!

#56

Remember those hovering parks? well the cameraman is standing on one of those. I still gotta add some of these in the distance though, and I think that will also help to feel the scale, cause that’s one of the big problems in this pic.

#57

So much to do and the deadline is coming closer and closer…

#58

hmme…,…

#59

I decided to make the spaceship that’s taking off more futuristic

#60

Will I manage to finish this peace in time?
Vote now! :smiley:
