I was only thinking about CG Challenge the other day, wonderring if itā€™d run out of steam, then low-an-behold it bounces back bigger than ever. Itā€™s been a long time coming, but this should be a good one. I missed Machine Flesh but had a lot of fun with Alienware Check it out while youā€™re waiting for me to pass a milestone ;). I want to spend a little bit of time thinking about direction. Plus I promised myself Iā€™d never attempt to draw again with a mouse. So hereā€™s to fast-tracking my order for a wacom. Cheers to all.

great sense of ā€˜actionā€™ I like the way it looks like a downed ship is scathing the foreground landscape and it works with your comosition. my only crit (at this early stage) is that its unclear what is destroying the central tower - thats if it is a tower and not a saucer ship firing into the ground. perhaps more ā€˜balanceā€™ between the opposing sides. I do get the feeling of being in mid-battle though, this is a splendid dynamic style.

thatā€™s a great concept u have thr, nice sense of dynamic action and movement. I like the swiling smoke too

Thanks for the feedback, Iā€™ve just added an updated version. Itā€™s meant to be a downed satellite/city. Iā€™m still trying to get the hang of drawing with a tablet. But Iā€™m hoping to do a few more concepts.

Great movement and blocking in the scene. Look forward to more.

Beautifully dynamic feel - not clear on exactly whatā€™s happening yet, but the picture feels alive.

I remember once seeing a book of photographs called ā€œThe Air War in the Pacificā€ and being blown away by the fantastic sense of scale given by the smoke from crashing aircraft and the wake from ships turning - they served as markers to show just how huge the battlefield was, in a way that empty space never could. Youā€™ve got some of the same going on here.

#12

#13

riki,

They are interesting sketches, donā€™t know exactly what they are but they have a nice feel to them.Looking forward to more stuff with your new tablet.

I think this pix will be fairly abstract, not really sure what it is yet myself :slight_smile:
