Inspiring :thumbsup:

I like alot the mood and the scale of the wracked ships :slight_smile:

Good luck and have fun :bounce:

#5

The mood already can be felt a bit. It feels to me like a cold, strict, anxious military search.

#6

#11

cool sketch dude :thumbsup:

.

#12

Looks very grand and the colour scheme is superb. The “interaction” appears implied at the moment, not sure whether that’s good or bad…

#13

HornlessUnicorn,Squibbit glad u like the sketches

BaronImpossible thanks,it seemes the right color pallete for what i want,and yes the interaction is abit implied atm:D hopefully ill make it abit more obvious till the final image but after all there is a freedom in it as it wasnt specified what kind of intereaction it should be,so its abit interpretable:-s btw saw ur entry Gj on it its a strong piece

cheers for the comments…update …soon:)

#14

i just couldnt get that big ship out of my head…i wasnt happy with it…i just couldnt take it anywhere looking like that…a couple of nights ago i went on to search a new look…it looked uglyer then before:D( version on the left) so tonight i went back to my senses and started changing like i always do and found a direction im happyer with…( on the right) .tomorrow hopefully got time to get detailing or who knows some other things might change…
CC most welcomed…

#15

You really think the version on the left is ugly? I like it better – it has more of a feeling of defeat. The straight lines of the ship on the right look too powerful, whereas the curved, sloping, broken appearance of the ship on the left makes it look more like a wreck and gives it a moody feel.

#16

both versions are very cool but i still prefer the left one…very nice color sketches!!

#17

I also prefer the left version. It looks more like a huge ship derelict. The right one looks like a futuristic sky highway imho. I am waiting to see where the aliens come into play. All the best!

#18

I like the left one more, too. The part where it meets the ground is more clearly defined and thus makes more sense. I also like how the fins in the upper left carve into the space. Have you thought about how you are going to approach the “alien interaction” part of your piece? It seems to be missing that so far… Good luck!

#19

Hei guys thanks for the feedback,im glad u like the colors and i see everybody prefers the left version, but the right one i got something in my head and hopefully it will turn out more like a huge spaceship then a highway .those lines in perspective that make it more like a highway will leave for detail and hopefully will make the hull look like a spaceships one or less like a highway hehe.
idd the part where it meets the sea will be more defined as ill make some changes to help,hopefully it will resemble more with what i got in my head.
The interaction will be abit implied…
its part of an action from startide rising ,when the ship Streaker comanded by neodolphin +human crew got stranded on a "metal"planet.anyway while theyr trying to repair a huge space battle goes on outside the planet between theyr chasers.1 1km long ship crashes into the sea… once some scout ships are send to track down Streaker (in my image the long agressive looking ones ,with some red) ,Streaker hides into the huge spaceships wreckage so it doesnt get detected.The human in FG is the second in comand who is going to plant a psi bomb to get the chasers of theyr backs…
In my image the guy in FG will comunicate with Streaker which will have a sneaking motion out of the wreckage while those scout ships are looking for it getting ever closer… yes its implied…but is it against the rules?:smiley:
Anyway aside from this entry ill do another 1 where the interaction is more obvious

cheers for the comments adn keep bringing them …ill decide which version im keeping by the end of the weekend hopefully.

#20

And another color version…+ another ship design…wanna diferentiate better the bad guys from the good… i wasnt happy with the warm pallete wanted a more industrial kinda ,cooler one.this is what came out after some color balancing and some painting over.

Tell me what u guys think so i can get on and finaly start workin on this…

cheers
