very beautiful colors! looks interesting already keep posting! :slight_smile:

Nethken, Pegahoul and Hfix, Thanks guys for the comments! It is really appreciated!

HornlessUnicorn: Yes, it is a battle going on between human and alien. There are 3 majors groups in my image: human, dolphin and alien. As for now, my intention is put two different relationships in contrast among those groups: alien is trying to communicate with the neo-dolphins as human attacks the alien airships.

#23

hope you didn’t get the cold from me. best wishes. keep up the good work.

#24

I made few concept sketches to get the feel I was looking for. Critics and suggestions are very welcome.

#25

You are certainly amongst the very talented in this forum. I look forward to seeing works like this one progress and learning great things from the people here!

#26

I started to add more details to the foreground and the sky. Still struggling with the design of the alienship.

#27

i like the style and the mood:)

#28

Gnomeish, thanks for the compliment! It is a great experience for me too, I have learnt so much from many talented artists here. :slight_smile:

Chandro, I am really happy that you liked it!

#29

Finally I had a more defined design for the alien airship, will still alter it a bit in a later stage. Critics are very welcome!

#30

Great colours and fascinating perspective, you’re still fleshing everything out as I see it - can’t wait to see more!!

Cheers,

Dimitrij.

Hi donglu, wanted to say that the sky, stormy, is really nice and i like the new spaceship you did, amazing work, keep up…cant wait wait to see what youre going to do with the humans. Good job!

#37

I started to play with the dolphins, trying to get their movements right. Also, I had the feeling that my canvas would be too crowded with the initial human crew, so I decided to reduce the number of the foreground elements.

#38

I like today’s update.good details on the dolphins.

remember what we discussed before? image is story teller. take a short break, give it a thought. what’s the action in between the dolphins and the craft. and what’s going on with the human.

Don’t work too hard. sleep well.

#39

There really isn’t a shortage of beautifull pieces in this contest, really original…its as if the airship is disturbing the water to flush the hidden creatures out.

Not too much to crit, which means all aspects seem fine!!

Hello donglu !

I really like the way your concept is taken ! I Love the color palatte that you are using for the background! It’s really impressive ! :thumbsup: Keep the good work !

Just a question what is the size of your original canvas in photoshop ? like 4000 k?

Thx
