#1

James Kei is entered in the “Spectacular Challenge” update: View Challenge Page

My inital idea is a play on the duallity of what is spectacular.
In the not too distant future, an alien craft lands on earth, and in a gesture of good will, shoots off a diplay of spectacular "firewworks’.
To the un-aware audience below, not knowing the intent of the space-craft, this can be a frightening display of power,… or a beautiful and amazing lifetime event.

#11

Good luck for the challenge james ! goos start:)

#12

This is a really great idea. I too when heard of the spectacular challenge thought of an alien mothership visiting earth ala Independence day, and I think the idea coincides with the description of something that is frightening/exciting yet a life changing event, extremely well. You got there first though :P. Good luck mate.

#13

yeah, I like the perspective and scale your getting here. I can see the ship drifting slowly forward shooting off its display. I think your main challenge might be to convey the emotion of the people watching it, is it terror? Shock? Awe? Good luck James.

#14

Thanks all for the comments! I’ll deliver the second phase pretty soon…

At this point, Iv’e extended the canvas to show more of the cityscape. I’m still not resolved on the mothership yet, or the direction that the color is going, but it’s gettin’ there slowly. I’m also starting to block in some of the architecture. Still a looooong way to go!
