Grand Space Opera 2D Entry: Olivier Derouetteau

#2

Hello!
Well, itā€™s my first CG Challengeā€¦
First building conceptā€¦itā€™s the beginningā€¦

#3

A new building conceptā€¦

#4

Cool concepts. I love the idea of the opening on the top of the buildings. Perhaps oriented solar gain on specific hours of the dayā€¦like flowers and photosynthesis.

#5

Great stuff olivier - clean, concise and easy-to-read sketches. The architectural style is quite interesting tooā€¦Iā€™m looking forward to seeing how this developsā€¦

One thing, can you give a bit of background or context?

cheers

#6

Those designs are great, nice and clean. I canā€™t wait to see what you have planned for the whole scene.

#7

Very nice sketches! Crisp & cleanā€¦i like that. But where do the antennas go when the tops open ? :slight_smile:

#8

Thx everybody,
Unitstudio>> There 's no background, no context yet, iā€™m just trying to find interesting design.
Itā€™s only 2 concepts sketchs of space cities, but i am not very satisfiedā€¦itā€™s not original.
It looks like other citiesā€¦

#9

Hello
Here again, some concept sketchsā€¦Itā€™s little cartoon design and i like this idea.

#10

Hi,
A quick color sketch just to see how the buildings looksā€¦and try some tests of colors.

#11

Nice concepts :thumbsup: love your drawing style.

#12

I love the colors sets.
Maybe a little more of dynamism in the layout and a little bit more of ā€œSCIFIā€ items would be nice!

Keep on drawing the ā€œold fashionā€ space opera style!

Good luck my friend for the contest

#13

Yes Mr Starbuck, a little bit of dynasmism should be betterā€¦and find other compositions too, I think :slight_smile:
Thx my friend

#14

hello everybody,
Here a new ā€œspeed compoā€.I am testing other colors and small spaceships.Perhaps it should be to add a big spaceship in the backgroundā€¦

#15

First Concept- I like the blue tone in this a lot, and the overall piece seems more interesting. However, I do think that the large building on the left (the one right in front) feels odd- if you go with this, you might want to make that a group of smaller buildings, or something else entirely.

Second Concept- While I preferred the blue tone, the yellow hues in this are just fine as well, and its actually more detailed. My only gripe is that the other concept somehow seems more grand, perhaps due to the size of the ships (and the number of them)

Anyway, Iā€™ll keep an eye out for more progress.

#16

Re: color sketch
Very nice sketch. The bright band of gas under the middle two ships is taking away from the pieceā€™s depth a little though.

The ā€˜new compositionā€™ is nice too, but doesnā€™t feel as grand as the ā€˜colour sketchā€™.

#17

the second concept is best and most fitting by far, but i just can;t see anything TRULY epic:shrug: ā€¦looks nice but still needs a few more elements for drama

#18

ilove2d - Iā€™m really liking those black and white concept sheets you did. Both of your colour pieces show a lot of promise, but thereā€™s nothing really to guage a sense of scale. If youā€™re going to stick with smooth forms, and thereā€™s not reason you shouldnā€™t, perhaps you need some humans in there somehow? That blue sketch is lovely, something very classic SF about it, but the yellow one, it looks good but itā€™s like someoneā€™s spaceship spotting rather than an epic event unfolding. Good use of colour, mind. Keep 'em coming! :thumbsup:

#19

Very unique styling and nice use of colours. Like the tonal values used in the blue concept. It gives a sense mystical sci-fi mood. Maybe off aligning one of the ships would look better, at the moment it seems as though both ships are placed in there just to fit the image area. The yellow version looks like they are on a mission, its got movement. Love to see more of it.

#20

Hi everybody,
Thx for your commentsā€¦
Speaky>> yes Iā€™am agree, some humans should be interesting and Iā€™am not satisfied by the two compositionsā€¦
giza-di>> it looks nice , yes ā€¦ and there is nothing truly epic; thatā€™s right.

Well, I think it should be better to find a composition with humans and a really epic sceneā€¦
I would like keep this Idea of ā€œbubble space citiesā€ā€¦

Thx again for all comments
