Uplift Universe - Image Entry: Donglu Yu

The man in close up should be still closer to the camera. To feel better the temper. But it’s just my 2cts, do like you want.

Anyway, good improvements.

David.

Hi Donglu, I really enjoyed watching your great progresses. I agree with Davee that the main guy in the foreground should be brought closer to heighten the effect. The alien spirits are forming very nicely now. The dolphins and the water is very nicely rendered, but I feel the nymphs still look pasted on because they don’t seem to reflect the environment’s lighting correctly. The closeup of the dolphin and the nymphs really look great, but they lost all the great details in the full scene. May I suggest bringing that part closer to the humans? But if you feel that it too big a change within this short deadline, please ignore my comments and proceed with what your mind has already dictated.

All the best and be persistent, Donglu!

Jack: Jia You! 9 days left!

Ivy00: Thank you! Good luck with your entry!

MartinNielsen: Thanks for the compliment, Martin!

Davee: Making the soldier bigger might add more tension as Jeromoo said, however, I don’t want his size to compete with the size of the alien in the composition, I am using him to add more emotions to the drawing and guide the viewer into the image, I want the human crew remains in a “weak” position. Thank you for passing by, keep the good work up with your entry! :slight_smile:

Jeromoo: Thank you for all those thoughtful suggestions. I have tried to bring the nymphs and dolphins closer, however due to the fact that there are too many elements in my drawing, it just didn’t work out. The soldiers would hide part of them, yeah…have to make compromises. I still have many sections in this piece to get finalized (I will improve the rendering of the nymphs in terms of reflecting environmental lighting), god, that is taking lot of time! Thanks for the support!

Scala: Yeah, it is raining in Montreal during the weekend, so here I am, sitting in front of my computer and try to draw as much as possible. :stuck_out_tongue: T’as presque fini avec le tien?

Pegahoul: LOL, I don’t have enough courage to change my piece again just 9 days before the deadline, I already get too scared because the previous “almost last minute big change” :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks for coming! Keep your beautiful work up! :slight_smile:

Fantastic image, great colours and amazing detail. I am really impressed with your custom brushes technique!

Looking forward to seeing the final image!

#167

Je ne veux pas t’embêter avec ça mais je trouve que ton premier Alien est un peu moins visible avec toute cette matière . Tu as une semaine pour fignoler.

#168

Kept working and doing few adjustments here and there.

#169

Headtrip: Thanks for coming and the kind remarks! Good luck for your entry!

Scala: Je vais voir ce que je peux faire avec ca, mais je le trouve assez visible pour l’instant. Merci d’etre venu. :slight_smile:

Compositing looks really magnifical now. Light around dolphins is powerfull and vivid.

Bravo!

David.

#171

Wow! i like the big alien that suck the dolphin, great color:thumbsup:. How about making the big alien eyes more glowing?

Good Luck

everytime i look at your work, i wonder how vast the mind can be, your imagination and sense of creativity is absolutely spellbinding… for me i had to rely on a reference image to get going …

my respects to you! … artist :love:

#173

wow!
love this one…reminds me alot of cloverfield…but with dolphins fighting along side…

love the fire/glow feeling on the big monster…

#174

David, Jopu, Neville, Cyberone, Thanks you guys for the encouragement!

Yes, Jopu, I will make the eyes glow more! :slight_smile:

I am currently working on a canvas about 6000x4000, my computer is getting slow, I will downsize it in the end. Still have many elements to polish, but it is almost done! :slight_smile:

#175

Bah oui ce que je veux dire c’est que j’aimais bien quant il était plus transparent tu vois , mais je te laisse faire c’était en rapport avec Planète interdite…

#176

This is the the whole painting on which I have worked until now. Many details are lost, but the foreground soldiers are obviously not refined enough to match up with the rest, I am working on it!

#177

Scala, tu preferes le monstre plus transparent?

#178

Yes Oui c’est ça mais je n’aime pas chargé , ça laisse de la place à l’imagination des autres . Le mieux pour comprendre ça serait de voir ma série "Rorch’arts " à partir de Ze Robolympic http://scala.cgsociety.org/gallery/612824/ pendant 3 lignes ou sur mon blog des fois c’est très abstrait http://blogscala.blogspot.com/ .

En bref ça veut dire que l’alien de gauche me parle plus .

Je ne sais pas si je suis assez clair

#179

Kept on refining the alien in the bg and some destroyed buildings

#180

Hi Scala, I think I will make the choice for alien’s transparency until the end, I have to use the rest of the time on refining few elements for now.
Merci pour les liens, c tres tres inspirant de regarder tes oeuvres d’art! :slight_smile:
