Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Michael Wilson

#161

A slight composition update.

#162

wow. this is looking great. the extra explosions, and the fire trailing behind the rightmost ship, and the composition change have really bumped this to the next level. great work. :applause:

#163

The way the explosion and pieces fit so well as in like they look like they were blown off the planet/moon. and the ships looking like they stir up the dust and particles. Very cool.

#164

Same comments as the 2 previous posts. The explosion look just great! I would maybe add orange/yellow reflections of lights that may come from the explosion on the ships. Anyway, that is just my opinion.

Great work!:slight_smile:

Awesome work man. It looks like it’s time to get the hell out of Dodge.
Very Professional. Kudos.

#167

I think that little bit of flame you added in the update really works. This image has turned out really well, good job Miketche.

#168

Thanks for the comments and encouragment everyone. :applause: Still working on a number of small tweeks. :wip: :arteest:

I should update sometime soon.

#169

Just a little bit of post work in photoshop. Also some brightness and contrast adjustments.

I think those post effects you added were worth the effort, adds to the image for sure. Especially the glow or dust around the planet.

HI miketche

Well done! a wonderful entry, it was very dramatic, they looked like they are distroyers
of planets and worlds, I found your process and development very clear, and textures are excellent, the only small comment I have is, I thought the black hole was a little big in terms of the over-all composition, I would have put it further back ,but I think perhaps you were aiming for high drama,

powerfull 3d design wonderful colors that are symonous with space opera theme, best of luck in the final shake down. You get my vote!

all the best

Patina!

Thanks everyone for the comments and support. Best of luck to everyone.

I had toyed around with adding more ships to the scene, but you really wouldn’t have been able to see any ships on the far side of the planet, too small, and close up more ships just seemed to clutter the image. I figured three was a good number. :shrug:
