Thanks Mr Daulte! - you too!

…now…must…decide…on…the …idea!!

Great to see you join Adam! Knowing how fond you are on this subject, I’ll keenly be following your progress :thumbsup:

Best of luck!!!

Cheers Peter! - I am currently overwhelmed by the options so it might be a little while before I can get a concept out lol!

Looking forward to seeing your progress too! :smiley:

I have several ideas knocking about in my head at the minute, but a strong theme is that of a civilisation fleeing their planet (for whatever reason) and boarding a vast ‘ark’ like ship - although outside the atmosphere, the ark would be so vast that it is clearly visible from the planet. So here I am trying to convey that scale/distance and depicting the multitudes of ships escaping to join it! If I go with this, I will need some foreground elements and the scope of the landscape/city will need to be made vast also.

#12

Or, on the other hand, maybe it’s an invasion, the planet is burning, and the defences are all trying to make some impact against a mighty foe!?

hmmm…

#13

Thhe second one could be a really spectacular image. The huge aircraft look really sweet. If you detail it like an insane and make some good city destruction models and special fx it will look soooo awsome :thumbsup: Nice work on the colors, but maybe the sky should be darker, since it’s an evil invasion :shrug:

#14

I looove the firt one…It’s look like a afternoon/evening scene…

Another concept - a cylindrical mothership containing a number of ‘arks’ arrives at a new world - I want to achieve a sense of scale with huge crowds of people boarding the arks, as other laoded ships leave the mother vessel. Possibly need a foreground balcony with other beings looking on.

#16

The first or the last one! They both have potential and personally I would go with the last concept :slight_smile:

the secon looks tremndously epic… can become a great scene… people fightig ?
hey Krome took out you pen :smiley: lol

Good to see you here Adam. Attaching myself to your thread. Love the concept work! :thumbsup:

#19

Hey guys - thanks for the feedback! - not sure which way to go yet, and I still have a couple of other ideas to flash out before I decide. I ‘think’ I want to stay away from a space battle, but an invasion/defence from a city viewpoint could be cool!

Julien - I used a wacom pen in both of these! :wink: lol! - personally, I prefer to block out scene concepts using simple 3D elements - it’s a lot quicker and lets face it, easier than messing about with perspective drawings. I’ll probably revert to more ‘analog’ (pencil and paper) methods when I come to design the ships etc! :slight_smile:

Cheers Mike! - you got a thread going?

EDIT: just realised you have from your sig - off to look!! …
