Grand Space Opera 2D Entry: Kait Kybar

#24

Someone correct me if I am mistaken(including g-nome himself if I missed his point):
By movie clip I understand a scene, nice and cool pic, thats all. Its cool but empty.
But icon is a bit different subject, its main role is in story and atmosphere what makes this icon more than a just nice pic. Just like those holy icons in churces, they have more depth. To understand the icon itself fully you have to know the story behind it, what actually makes it a icon and not just one nice pic. Sorry if I am repeating someone but thats a topic what is a bit hard to understand also for me right now.

I love the ship and the buildings! As for the whole “icon” definition, you could talk about it for eons. Ultimately we are competing to make a nice picture that has icons of Sci Fi in it. I guess how the image is executed is what determines wether it becomes an icon or a cliche.

Must get some sleep…

That painting of the ship made my jaw drop… I thought, “2D?! This guy is in the wrong competition!” Haha… hey, good luck, you’ve got real potential!

#27

yeah, thanks a lot :slight_smile:

and yes…i meant, that movie clip is a random click with a camera…it cant tell nothing special.

Nice sketches indeed, but you might want to upload them on the contest server
since the judges are going be viewing the other panels where only stuff you
submitted properly will appear. While eventually they may sift through the thread
it`s still a good idea :] Keep up the good work

I tried to find cool compositions. I didnt want to make another battle schene. I looked for something different.

Thats the final concept with nice clean lines. I tried to make characters look like weird , but humans though. Freaks who had no humane weakness, like hunger, or thirst for example. They have lots of mechanical upgrades like plasmabatterys and spyglasses. And all for war…endless war, cause humans are like they are.
But the moment of schene: although that freaks look like robots they still have littelbit human inside and because of that, they cant turn eyes from sunrise: all lost memorys come remind, times when they were childs and went fishing…or looked with girlfrend same sunshine (not that same…i think they are anothre planet right now).
Thats the brief story.

#37

Here we go. Rough colour with some line art…lines just for compo check

#38

check check…

wip 3#
I started too wrong. Its too burned and heavy for beginning. And that right side building isnt good at all. I dont now what happend…maybe i wasnt in good mood :confused:

#40

wip 3# more details… as you see
I changed buildings back as they were in that lineart and i like that way…they do not attract too much attention

#41


Now the lights part…i made that dark schene on purpose. Without darkness, lights cannot work. And lights are very nice way to make nice details…glows and stuff :slight_smile:
So…thats it. i may do some color variations, cause the overall color isnt right for me…

#42

Added some curves…dont know, i hope it works better

#43

here are some first environment ideas, but i didnt used them…they are too detailed so first ground didnt have first attention.
