Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Jan Andersson

#4

Very clean…

Reminds me of hemogia the game…

Is this your goal?

#5

Very nice mood and light, especially the glow off the planet.

#6

great composition this piece got i know i’ve seen that planet somewhere hmmm yeah looks like earth a little bit, how about just changing that (opinion) fascinating coloring skills you have, keep going.:slight_smile:

#7

Thanks a bunch guys.

Greentea - Yeah, I need to work on composition a lot. It’ll be easier once I’ve made some basic models to figure out the most effective comp.

WazaR - I’ve never seen the Hemogia game so I don’t know. I’ll have to check that out. Though, I’ve been involved in a space game a few years ago so some inspiration definately comes from games.

erilaz - Thanks man! :slight_smile: I only hope that I’ll be able to do a convincing planet in 3d at the later stages. I’ve tried before and failed so we’ll see.

Designer2 - Thanks, and yeah, It’ll either be a very different earth (polluted, destroyed) or another planet all together.

I only hope that I’ll be able to update regularly since work is taking a lot of time.

#8

Pretty nice concept! Keep it up mate.:thumbsup:

#9

Here’s a rough design of a ship. I don’t want too much detail as it will narrow the modelling process.

#10

Sweet concepts. Like them both. What’s the iconic happening going to be?

#11

Thanks Shiroii

I haven’t given that much thought really. Either there’ll be a huge asteroid closing (or ramming) the planet or it might already be destroyed. The central part should be the space station and that people are gathering for some reason.

#12

Atmoshpere and lighting are beautiful.

#13

A more detailed concept of the scene. Composition is still very weak so I’ll have to work on that later.

This was painted over screenshots of rough models.

#14

One word: Wow…

I love the coulours and contrast you use in your concept drawing, as the theme. impressive

Very promising… i’ll stay tuned

Good luck to you!

#15

Wow! nice drawing!!! Really nice “enviroment” Keep the good sketches! And good luck :smiley:

#16

Hey! Nice work buddy. This is going to be great, I really like the last scetch and how the planet is “oozing” with something…life maybe. Keep it up.:slight_smile:

Really nice. I guess this is concept drawin 1.b or something. I sure like it better, way to go :thumbsup:

#18

scene looks great so far. look forward to updates

#19

it´s growing up! good work ! good luck !

#20

Nice work. I like the third concept sketch.

If I may make a suggestion: composition-wise, the planet in that 3rd sketch would have a more impressive sense of scale if it were larger, more towards the corner, and if the impact was more off-center so you could see it in perspective with the planet’s contours.

This looks like it will be a cool one.

#21

That last one is cool!

Im definitely going to be watching this one closely. I got a feeling I could learn a lot just from hanging out in this thread. Shoot, these forums are just oozing talent. Man there is so many incredibly talented people running around here…what am I doing here?!

Learning, thats what…LOL.

Excellent job! Cant wait to see it realized in 3D :).

#22

It has a very homeworld 2 feel to it, which quite franckly is not to bad of a thing. The secound concept I find more visually impressive,… if only because of the strength and solemnity of the ship.

The color treatment is going in the right direction as far as producing a more “emotive” feel, almost like a nostaglic photo from the past. I think you should keep the sun’s glare in the scene to give space more of a living sense to it.

I think the only thing you are missing are smaller objects that would go a long way to producing more of a sense of scale.

Keep up the good work.

I think your last image has the best layout. You could have the ship in front of the planet a bit more to give a better sence of positioning. Maybe a large docking bay the stretches towards the camera a bit, to pull your eye from ship then eventually to the planet, instead of vise versa.
