Uplift Universe - Image Entry: Jerome Moo Wen Han

#159

Here’s the third and hopefully final revision. (Revision: more rock-jellyfishes, dimmer background and red rock jellyfishes, brighter ship interiors, some small fixes)

Story (from previous post):
Something bad happened down there on this strange seemingly uninhabited planet. They received a rather urgent call for the rescue ship to be summoned down to the surface. The victims: A Neo-Dolphin and a Neo-Chimp, with their human and alien chaperones. The human is their sister. The brothers, along with an alien pilot, made quickly for their destination. They found them hiding in a cave. The Neo-Dolphin was badly hurt and unconscious. The chimp, looking dumb-founded, kept exclaiming “They are coming, they are coming”. Their sister was really scared. As for the other alien chaperone, they could never make out its expression at all. They quickly got onto the rescue ship and attempted to fly away.

Before they could reach beyond the planet’s atmosphere, a swarm of rock-like jellyfishes suddenly appear before them. Powerful jolts of electricity lashed out from their tentacles. Some of them even rammed the ship with their ultra-strong rock walls. What exactly happened here? What were they doing down there in the first place? Will they survive?

I hope this will be the last revision unless any of you spot some mistakes I overlook. I am getting busy with other works now and will not be able to continue further with this. I wish you all the best with your entries, my fellow participants!

i think its truely done. i cant really thing of any way to make it better. awesome work here!

#161

This is so well done, with refinements and careful considerations along the way to make it even better. Though I am a sucker for great landscapes, it is true that more rock/jellyfish solidified the threat. It makes sense to have a really dinged up ship with more scatches. A co-pilot in the back is nice too, to fill in that space and add more alien/human interaction. Again, I love your piece. Great work, can’t wait to see your other work you are working on now. Take care, and thanks for the inspiration.

Hey Jerome, the revision looks great! For sure the ship looks in a more danger :smiley: I think the electric rays of the jelly fishes need to be more brigther and neat, except the rays of the jelly fish attacking the front of the ship and maybe some of the jelly fish charging electrical power to all of its body or glowing brighter for a inner body part, but are minor details :smiley: , perhaps more a wish than a critic :D. I really like your image and the great enviroment on it, superb work my friend! And for this time no beers… better … yes! wine!! :smiley: a lot of bottles of wine !! Cheers! :beer:

#163

#164

…and Jeromoo comes out swingin!

WOW!

#165

just fixing some painting mistakes I forgot to clean up. Increased the saturation on the ship and the sky.

#166

Sorry, just felt that the saturation on the sky was too red. So I went back to the previous version.

Alright, alright, I’ll stop now!

Here’s a higher res version of the artwork:

#173

Jerome really a strong piece and probabnly the only one who use the color like a perspective Brilliant .

#175

#176

That’s lovely, Jerome! Congrats on finishing. Thanks for posting the larger image. I t was nice to see a lot of the small details in context, like the cracks in the viewscreen that i’d never noticed before. Nice work on all the little bits of lightning too… heck, nice work on everything, I’m just appreciating new (to me) details. Glad you added more rock jellyfish, too - they really add to the threat, and make it feel more plausible that the ship would even encounter them. (It’s a big sky, after all!)
Anyhow, great work, as usual. :slight_smile:

#177

good as always man! … i hope you give me a print this time! :slight_smile:

#178

Hi Jerome,

Great Colors, really strong composition values, and like Eric said, the 1sth I see uses perspective color in this thread, that’s awesome you can see the evil jelly fish rock aliens in all views, and make your imagination wonder of what will happen and how they end up there, the characters inside the ship, are all a good design for a team, like each one fits anatomically perfect in the design! Great details again!

:applause: Congratulations!:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Best of Luck ! I wish teh best on this great art!:arteest:
