Whoa that’s possibly one of the best concept sketches in this challenge! Very well thought out and concieved, it should make realising this piece a lot easier. Ocean’s a real nightmare for people like me… But you should have no problem!
Cheers
:buttrock:
ChrisThatGuy: yeah nice suggestion, i’m not totally sure about the composition and details yet, i will do a few more sketches and play with your idea, thanks 
gardogg: thanks dude!
mmoir: lol i haven’t really checked out a lot of the entries yet 
lucky mine is a dangerous whale hunt thingy and the other guy is a more plesent whale perfomance. Hopefully both entries will look spectacular
gardogg, Gunilla, Yongkiat, keetmun, SNoWs and Maxter: thanks guys, i’m very glad you like it. It’s gonna be a big challenge tachnically and lots of modelling and rendering… should be fun. I hope i can finish it
anyway i’m still using max, i don’t think i can do decent in maya yet, i’m just gonna try learn zBrush with this challenge… so my brain doesn’t explode. Thanks for the comments guys, hope to show some more pictures soon~
Hi. realy cool sketch. and good idea.its one of those good works. i am waiting to see the final image. good luck
This is another sketch… i played around with some simple geomety in max to work with the composition and doddled over that. Petrry similar to the last one… I think I’ve got a fair idea of the image now and will start modelling now… yeah~ please let me know what you think, thanks.
Hey Chi-han,
This second sketch is better than the first, there is more of a relationship between the boat and the whale:thumbsup: . Now , lets see some polys. Look forward to your modeling of this scene.
mmoir: thanks mate, can’t wait to model too
dvelasco: yeah i like the cyan too, i actually didn’t look at the first sketch and ended up with similar cyan on both lol, i guess it works. Thanks.
Yeah sorry for the slowness, busy at work lately. Plan to do some decent modelling this weekend. Please come check it out later, Cya.
