Grand Space Opera 2D Entry: Leonardo Calvillo

#42

this is original idea .you could add a little new color maybe a little blue to make it more unmonochromatic (?) Hi, Your project is original, there is fairyhood…[/QUOTE]

Lapazpaki: I’m agree with you, it looks too similar, I think that if I add the spaceships with another colors…I can create a better unmonochromatic image.

Tranchefeux: Thanks for your reply but what do you mean with fairyhood?

Andreas: Your are right, I need some point of reference, and the best option could be spaceships flying around the sphere machines.

LaRoyceJ: Your idea is very original ("…the organism feels so natural…like it actually exists somewhere in time and/or space…on another plane of existence…"), I have some problems with the different color combos jej…

Fabianv: Thank you, I like your opinion.

This illustration has a beautiful design to it and i like looking at it very much. My only concern is that I am not feeling any sense of drama at the moment.

#45

More spaceships and tests. 1° I need to add more shadows to the spheres and create a better 3D machines. 2° I’m going to work in the new spaceships and the attack.
Opinions please.

#46

Starting to get a real sense of depth and scale in this piece now. I think if you can work up the 3D-ness of the sphere objects and continue to work on the sense of vastness in the atmosphere / space BG rendering this piece will be very successful!

Great work!

#47

This is another version without spaceships, I added the missiles and changed the position of spheres. I’m goig to put more details but I don’t know what image looks better.

#48

Nice mood in the scene and I particularly like the colors. Your painting style is great, nice and fluid! Good luck mate! :slight_smile:

#49

Very unusually and beautifully!!.. I envy your sight at this theme.
Good luck!!))

#50

Thanks Nikolay and Lovliebutterfly, I think that this is the final version (with missiles). More details afterwards.

#51

Almost done, I just add the explosion and more smoke details.
Critics wecolme.

#52

hey, great pic with amazing designs… but one thing that ruins it a bit is the smoke trails, the dont looks as if they quite match the colour scheme… and also prolly a personal preference, i think it needs more contrast in general and between the background and the ship in the middle, as they sort of merge together at first sight.

i hope that will help and gud luck!

#53

I love the design work on this as well. You have very neat concepts and a good use of shading to add emphasis to your focal points. Great job!

||) |V| |^|: Thank you for the opinion :scream:

daadaa: Thanks, I’m working in the smoke again. I have some problems with the contrast, I know that and I’m trying to sort itself out.

Check this soon!

#55

Very interesting, but grey smoke doesn’t fit here. make it red man -will be better.

#56

Ok I think that this is the final image. Maybe a few details.
This is my first photoshop image that I do, and I only know the basic elements of the program so I can’t resolve some problems.
Critics and opinions are welcome.

#57

mime_evermotion maybe you are right, I’m going to try with the red smoke or some similar color… let’s see how it look.

#58

I agree from mime. Red will be best.

#59

I’m always surprised of the works quality.
Very interesting and original athmosphere.
Thank you for your creativity.
Good luck.:thumbsup:

As I see it, I’m missing something to balance the red dominance - Maybe a navy blue toneover from the bottom up?

I like it tho’… there’s a sense of grace in the middle of all the drama. Very appealing.

Good job so far … are you going to make it within time? I’m starting to feel the pressure myself hehe :smiley:

#61

Yeah man great work so far. Love the orb designs. The only crit I have is that the smoke looks out of place right now. If the atmosphere is that dense with red light particles, the smoke would reflect that.
