Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Sabrina Bott

#321

Hey Sabrina! The image really is awesome! These will probably be the last comments I give before you post your final image…so here goes:

There’s only two things that I feel, personally, are missing to the image.

  1. That Victorian style umbrella. I know I keep mentionning it, but I think it would just fit really well, especially since it looks as though her right hand is already posed for her to lean on it! :wink: I think it would really bring her character together.

  2. This. I feel you need a little bit more light coming from the surface. Maybe even some of those rays. I like the nice highlights on the diver’s suit, but there doesn’t seem to be enough light coming from the surface to warrent them. This is all stuff you can do relatively quickly in Photoshop.

Like I said, these are my personal suggestions! :slight_smile:

Hope I could help a bit! :slight_smile:

huhu… why not the Victorian Umbrella… that could fit…

just a point which doesn’t disturb me before, but now… I saw only that… she doesn’t have jewels ? a woman ? :scream:

I like much the strange blue beast… octopussy or other thing ? modelized or drawed ?
I will be glad to see a snapshot of it… just curious to discover his complete design…
…or maybe you want to keep the secret :twisted:

In any case… in large… it’s great :bowdown:
Flossie must be proud of you :buttrock:

and don’t worry about uploader… even for me, it doesn’t work :surprised

I wish you some good last additions :bounce:

Lovely details! I really like the school of fish and the steam from the trike now separates it better from the wall behind. Excellent work!

So, the server is still down and I’m just trying to figure out when the last day for submission is! :eek: We still have tomorrow, right?

This is all looking fantastic, Sabrina. Just wonderful. What is that creature down below, visible through the circular hole? Although maybe it is more fun to not know the answer to that question! (the mystery about that adds to the fun). You’ve succeeded in creating a real underwater feel about this image - which is not nearly as easy to do as it sounds - so I’m back to stamping my feet in approval again. It looks so good now. Good luck with getting it uploaded

Sweet update Sabrina! The work you did on the girl is really well done, especially on the clothes detailing and the mood of the color palette really pays off :slight_smile: I wonder about the beauties of this mysterious underwater city in the background !:bounce:

#326

Looking great Sabrina! Superb work, this one is going to finish up really well.

Cheers,
Jim

Christopher, two good points you have there…I know what you mean about the lighting, it seems they have some mysterious lightsources down there…but I’ve tried to play a little with your suggestion and for some reason I lost this underwaterfeeling, so I’ve made no more than a little adjustment actually. Finally you have convinced me about the umbrella, but it would only look good if she is carrying it, or leaning on it, like you suggested…but to make it convincing I have to make some serious overpainting so I better keep this in mind for the pictures “second life”…Thanks a lot for your support and critic here, it helped a lot for sure:) !

Lolo, jewelery was on my last to-do list, if there is enough time for it…I tried a real quick version of earrings and something for the hairs, but it was not so good and so I better leave her alone for now. The blue beast is a little painted jellyfish, I just had this feeling to put something in this hole:D …right now he is only what you see, but somewhere on my layers there should be a complete version to show you…

Gunie, good to hear that the steam solved a problem…and thanks for the nice words:) .
About the deadline, you’ve seen my post I guess…meanwhile the info pages are available again, I’m still not sure about the time shift , but we should be on the save side if we submit our finals on Sunday…

Mark, glad to see your nice comment! The mysterious creature is a jellyfish, hope you still like it now…And luck with the upload is a good wish for sure:D !

Thanks for the nice words Nick, much appreciated!:wavey:

Hey Jim, I especially like the word “finish” in your comment:D , thanks for the support!

I try to update now the “prefinal” version, if I hear no devastating critics and the deadline is not moved I’ll just write the little story about it and upload this version as my final…

-sabrina

edit: The upload has again the wrong time, seems the problems are not solved after all…and on the submisson page the countdown says :2 days and 13 hours left…so perhaps still time for painting jewels, if at least this information is reliable!

#328

another detail shot, now with luggage added

#329

And again I can’t update the regular way with the next picture, the ‘submit entry’ page tells me since half an hour now that I’ve already uploaded in the last 90 seconds:twisted: …so again a direct link

the sumbission is working now Sabie…all is looking good so far keep going :bounce:

#331

OMG! very nice one sabrina ,
lots of detail , and very steam punk ,
for me , it seem lots of detail you put are scattering around image , maybe you
can tighten up every element to look compact and lead eye direction ,
anyway , it look nice!

Excellent work Sabrina, congratulations! This is a beautiful image with great depth and
well defined atmosphere, love the jobb you did on the lady, especially the clothes and
hair, she looks fantastic!
Hope you can figure out the upload problem!
Looking forward to see more of your renders in the future, and happy new year!

For a long time all the resources and brilliant heads of Atlantis were stressed out to make a survival in the depth possible. With all the problems solved and in a time of cultural ascendency the young generation of Atlantis is looking out for new challenges. They want to approach the surface of the ocean again, even if this means to leave Atlantis behind and say goodbye to the loved ones…

Hey Tony,

well, not really working for me with the regular updates, but my final image is obviously here, thank you so much for all the keep goings!:slight_smile:

Hi Monsit, very nice words, thank you:) ! And you’re right with the framing here, but it was too late for major changes…perhaps I’ll change some things after the challenge. Thanks for your visit!

Hi Mathias, it looks like the upload problems for the finals are solved, thanks for your nice words and I totally intend to keep on rendering, so we’ll see us again here…and of course a happy New Year for you too:wavey: !
