Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Ramón Acedo

Nice framing on this one, the strong perspective should sell the shot well. Id be tempted to go a shadowy foreground and a really well lit background to get some spatial seperation and make the piece pop overall.

#27

Good seeing your work here again, Ramón! I think the color scheme is very pretty. It seems perfect for a nice calm and maybe even romantic scene. As I suspect those aren’t the moods you’re trying to show, try something else. good luck! :thumbsup:

#28

as many before, I would also change the colorscheme. The composition and action on the image are very dynamic, strong and powerful, so the present colors brings everything back to normal, almost peaceful state. Brown/grey, green/yellow overall and some red in the first plan is my guess.

#29

I am not the only one to be confused with your last colors shemes.
But if you want to place some lovers on the foreground it can be efficient.

#30

wow, cool ship. I really like the perspective. Can tell this is gonna be great!

#31

Oooooooook, so It has been stated clear that this looks like a romantic scene. I’m guilty.:love: I was looking some time for a scene to put this color scheme. I guess this is not the right time for it. YOU ALL ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT. It’s the moment for some spectacular and agressive colors that emphasize the action of the scene. I’m gonna do some more colors and I would ask all of you to give your opinion. Thank you guys for your quick feedback, in a few hours I’ll post some new colors.

#32

Two more color schemes, I know they are still incomplete, more are coming. Everyone is invited to express an opinion. Thanks for your advice guys.

hello Ramón :stuck_out_tongue: … i really love your concept a lot! especially the camera angle :eek: …
on the other hand … looking at your latest updates … i think a sunset color scheme might work? … it’s like, freezing the scene during sunset and letting the viewer imagine the battle will continue through the night … ( sounds crazy … :eek: :surprised … )

i hope this color scheme ( minus the crowd :smiley: ) helps you and gives you ideas … i’m sure you’ll do much better and surprise us :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

plus … you’ll have more room for those light effects! :smiley: …

damn … i’m going coo coo :hmm:

#34

Here are two more. There are things I like on both of them. Maybe a combination of the two of them. I think I prefer Color C but with more richness of detail…

#35

Thanks for your tip Neville, i think lighting effects will be determinant in my scene.

#36

wow man. massive progress! looking wicked :slight_smile: keep it up !

A

#37

wow! i love C [size=1]very much! :smiley: even at thumbnail view … it caught my attention! … looks pretty dramatic too! dark blue and orange combination is awesome![/size]

what say people?! i think C holds it together!

#38

out of all of the colour schemes my two favorite are A and C. ‘A’ because the image tone gives the painting wamth. and C because of the vibrance of the colours!

#39

Woooh!!! I love all the concepts, but the C option is great. The contrast between darkness and the fire explosions seems to work in a perfect way :applause:
Great Work!!!

Hola Ramon,
I like your image. Its very dinamic.:thumbsup:
My favorite color sketch is “C”.
Good luck and keep it up.
(Esta quedando muy bien)

#41

Very nice perspective.

Colorscheme c looks good to me. But you kinda need to seperate the fore- from the background. I would darken the foregroung.

good luck.

#42

I would actually go for a combination of ‘B’ and ‘C’- the ‘B’ sky & ship with the ‘C’ foreground. Try it out?

#43

i really love B in post 32 its got some subtle yet very complex lighting. :thumbsup::thumbsup: to it.

#44

A more intense version of A or C. (or just keep experimenting.) At least in those two the ship looks brass. I’m not sure what the ship is constructed out of in B and D, but it looks white… not a very steampunk color, imho.

#45

Well, I guess I’m going for this scheme, but as some of you have pointed, more refined and contrasted, and more richness of colors, specially on the ship and the foreground. Of course the labour of detailing starts now. I don’t have nothing defined really.

Mike, you are right, of course, we don’t discern ship’s materials yet. I’ve only blocked the shapes and perspective. Now’s the time to start making it steampunkish.

Thank you all, for your advice, it’s been of great help.

Let’s steam…
