I donāt know. cosy placess allways appealed to me. Not sure if this would qualify as a space opera though. anyone think so?

hey crazybread that sketch might look really cool if you frame it vertically, and some really strong perspective from wormās eye view.

I like the subject matter and agree that perspective could play a big part in making this work.

Your concept is good. Just try to think of how it would be represented in an epic theme and you are on your way. It looks really good to me.
Good luckā¦

Great to see You again. Somehow SF fits You perfectly and most certainly Iāll watch this topic.
As to the sketch- do not take me wrong, itās great as it is (if anybody would tell me it is concept made for StarWars Iād believe easily) but IMHO it is just somehow not āmonumentalā enough.

This is a real nice concept drawingā¦ the atmosphere and colours are real nice.
i think it probably does need a little more grandeur and scale to qualify for āspace operaā thoughā¦ though iām still a little mystified by the whole āgrand space operaā theme!!
good luck developing this!!

Looks fine to me. I think it will be good as long as itās describing something iconic.

Thatās a beautiful painting - I think itās actually my favourite so far - but I donāt think it hits the Space Opera chord. Itās quite serene, where Space Opera needs to be big and grand and maybe a bit stupid. (Though it doesnāt need to involve a space battle - Iāve seen enough to last me a lifetime over the last week!)
Maybe if you pushed what you have into the lower left corner of a larger canvas, and left a lot of the rest of the space empty except for the contrails of a few descending ships? That would give you more of a sense of scale.
Whatever - letās see some more!

Hi All!
Panupat: Thanx for the idea. As it stands now I will actually think about it some more untill Iām comfortable with the setting. You know Iām not excluding the idea of a vertical setup. Who knows how It will be framed at the end.
riki: Hmm. I will for sure play with the perspective once I start to actualy lay things out in 3d. I can already think of a few docking bays in perspective. I mean the sketch just lays things out for me to ponder over. At some point I will have to make a decission to either look through the camera from the bottom or however and frame this piece.
Krulwick: Thanx, I will. I know I have to get more hapening in there, so it hopefully will come.
timothyD: You know TimothyD you just might be on to something with that cliffā¦ Hmm
Squibbit: Thanx. I hope so too!
pddaugusto, splotch: Thanx guys!
RK: Thanx. I almost frieked when I saw this one posted and said āTailor made for crazybreadā ā¦not really, but I really like space gear and Sci-Fi stuff. :bounce: Anyways this Starwars business shows that much ehh? Crap, I know that everybody is influenced here by something, and Iām not gonna argue that starwars is something I donāt love, and if it shows that muchā¦ then Ohh well People just have to bite it. You know what?, Iāll try to make the next sketch less starwars looking :).
-Andy-: Thanx. Hopefully youāll see more.
duddlebug: Thank you Sir. Yeah a lot of people are saying that to me. I begginning to see the importance of grandeur for this project. I kind a like my concept and want to develope it further, so Iāll be adding things, changing it arround. Maybe a city in the background of the cliff. Weāll see. Whatever it is I hope I can convey a feeling of big.
Designer2: Thank you Designer2.
oshiroii: Thanx. Thats the plan!
Teapot-7: Iām thinking of putting a lot of things into this mountain, details on top of details, with bays, spaceships dicking etc. basically some sort of a gathering maybe a secret gathering of some major economic players of this world or something about to decide some grand scheme for ā¦ stufff. I dunno. Iām not really into weapons and killing and battles and things. I guess Iām just sick of it. Besides, I totally donāt think that a space opera has to have a battle or it doesnāt fit. I hope to achieve a grand scale with it though. thanx again for your suggestions.
gpepper: Thanx!

MMMmmā¦ What to say, a lot of people are concerned with the size of things generrally. āGotta be bigger man!ā seems to come from all over this board. Ok I say, so here is the same idea (I know missing a lot of things yet) but a little bit more bigger. not sure if Iāll go with the hole in the ground thing. Too starwars, I guess. Perhaps a city or town in the back, and next time instead of ther mining shaft, a station of somekind. Thats it for now!
Nice work, this ones going to look really cool.
