#132

Wooooah! I’m getting dizzy just looking at it!! Beautiful work. Perspective is just fantastic. Well done!! :applause:

#133

okay i think im done…i have add a cheap lens flare and scale up the alien in the foreground…i don’t know if it’s better???not really sure…

#134

Hi, Mathieu, I find you may try to blur the lense flare a bit, now it looks like freshly out of the photoshop filter. :stuck_out_tongue: I always feel that lense flare adds something more to an image, I do that with my matte paintings too, but personnally, I think that viewer should “feel” that flare instead of seeing it clearly. You got a materpiece there!!! One of my favorite entries for sure! :thumbsup:

#135

thanks a lot Donglu im gonna try to blur it now…

#136

From the looks of it, that philly’s been hollowed out and refilled…:wink:

Im very impressed [b]Mathieu. This is really a very interesting image. You have come up with a really solid entry to this competition, and a great piece for you portfolio.

I know what its like to stare at something so long you have a hard time analyzing it. Heres my thoughts with a fresh eye:
-The clouds stand out as being photo compared to the illustrative look of all the other elements. Id love to see you paint over these. But if your short on time…set the pressure of the smudge tool low and brush them over, feeling out the form.

-The neck of the bottle that the human is holding seems long to me. (very small nitpick)

-For the most part the lighting seems consistent. HOwever, to me the lightsource on the cigar looks a bit off. Seems to me like the side facing down should be darkest, when comparing it to how youve lit other forms.

I hope this helps a little.
Your a crazy man, [/b]Mathieu. Im inspired. Keep at it, with this piece and in the future!

#137

hey winchester thanks a lot for all those crits!!!the clouds are really painted maybe is due of the size of the image it’s hard to see…the bottle is actually like dat…i have taken foto as references…but for the cigar u are absolutely right!!! im gonna change this right now…thanks again!!yeah!!

#138

yeah this is the final image …thanks everybody…it was really fun to do this challenge…i thinks is one of the image that i spend the most time workin on it…
The story:
As we missed the latest transgalactical express yesterday night because my dude kool jack was late (waxing his horns 4 sure!), we decide to go to the seveneleven for a midnight shopping…beers,rhum,vodka,phillies…
we smoke almost all the stuff we suppose
to bring to our homies at Orion’s constellation.Big daddy purple was as usual already knock-out sleepin’ since the first round of beers, the time pass…kool jack has his green emeralds eyes totally turned red but he still standing…one more hour to wait for the first ship it was time to open the bottle of rhum as the third sun start to rise.

#139

Great job Jaba153!

You are right about the clouds! they look fine upon closer inpection.
Good job on the cigar. I wouldnt have even mentioned it, except that is in a focal point so Im glad you fixed it!

Hats off to you buddy! You deserve much applause on this one!

#140
