LightSovereign, true, true, but I just don’t like the way the sky too pale and the gown pink ^^ (red is more royalty), nothing’s definite yet though, I’m still searching till I get it right. Maybe a combination of both.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Neubius, thank you!

Andy, oh good, you’re here too! Cgtalk award? Cool! Lemme guess, witchfinder, right? ^^
Well, actually I was going for an alien queen adopting a human baby. Though nanny is nice ^^. I’ll put more emphasis on her royalty with the dress and the servants behind her.

OZ, thank you very much! ^^

Getting confused. I think I put too much on this one.
Tired on working multiple files. If the initial goal is simple and emotional, which one should be used? (I think I know, but I like 2nd opinion)

#43

Back to one of the original concept. More simpler, and just focus with the 2 main characters.
If I want to make simple and emotional, which one to choose out of 4? (I think I know but I like 2nd opinion. Already tired on working multiple files)

#44

definitely the second one! … it’s warm, emotional and very inviting … love the yellow clouds a lot! … waiting for the details to kick in … its gonna be amazing! :stuck_out_tongue:
good luck dude! :thumbsup:

#45

agree with nwiz25 the warm one is the best

#46

Wow, great image Pegahoul!
I really like the use of a frame to focus on characters. And I also prefer the one with the yellowish sky: it brings out better your characters and gives a warmer mood.

#47

Hm… you have so many variations it’s really difficult to say which one is better. In this case I’d say I prefer the left one (with the blue sky) because you’d have a contrast to the very warm tones in the front. The frame looks great. Can’t wait to see more. :thumbsup:

#48

Awesome progress, you have a great concept here! :thumbsup:

Hi,
I like the ornament and the yellow sky background, i think the yellow background match with the character color and give a better mood.

Good luck

#50

Nice concept and work on it so far! As for the color scheme, myself, I’m torn: I like the yellow backdrop because it’s warmer and alien at the same time. Blue is too terrestrial and conventional… but your warm-colorted alien pops really well against that blue backdrop! (Which you knew because you designed the color scheme knowing the sky would be blue!) If you want to use the yellow, you might need to do a lot more work with the other colors and values to make it all hang together. I don’t actually like the big frame. It feels too forced, an art-deco frame put around an otherwise realistic approch to depicting this alien and the baby. But that’s just my take on it… Good luck! :thumbsup:

Junction 2 option 2…The one with the yellow sky…Unconventional colours i found really appealing…the emotional factors will be decided by your lighting i think…and yellow i felt had more possibilities…For me, The yellow sky is the one…

Wonderful concept and beautifully executed! As for choice…I don’t know. I think they both work but will harmonise better when some of the environment’s colour if reflected in the skin and garments of the alien. This looks like a great album cover to me. (Madonna? Mothers of Invention?):blush:

#53

Hi everyone, thank you for your suggestions! Sorry for the long reply. Lost connection.

nwiz25, Jaba153, thank you, glad there’s someone aside me with same opinion on yellow ^^

Multiductus, thank you. Yes, the main purpose of the frame is to focus on the characters

HornlessUnicorn, aheh… it is difficult ^^ thanks for the suggestion!

mmbenya, JoPu, thank you ^^

walrus, that’s exactly my dilema. Reason why I chose blue because yellow will make it too hot (alien’s already red), but lue is just too plain. I still prefer yellow though… so I’ll find a way. About the art deco window, It’s still a subject to change. I want to focus on the background color first. Thank you

LightSovereign, thank you, I do like unconventional colors
Paul4wood, details will follow on as I work it on. Thank you.

#54

I’ve picked yellow (yaaay ^^) for the reason best described if you look at her head.
Anyway, the main problem was to find out what’s the best background color, since the lighting affect the objects, and I want to start detailing characters. It’s about time.
Other background elements will be adjusted later on.

#55

Hi Pegahoul:wavey:,
Finally you choose the yellow background huh? I like it. looking forward to follow your wip progress
Good luck to you:thumbsup:

Yep, this is it. The yellow adds to the mood of the piece, making it warm and welcoming. I don’t know about the moon behind the queen, cause its a bit too heavy on the composition and it looks odd with such an atmospheric background.
Great progress Pegahoul

#57

It’s coming along really nice, the colours are very bright and cheerful and gives the whole image a fun optimistic feel. Looking forward to seeing how this develops further :slight_smile:

#58

That’s a funny concept. :scream: I bet she’s a good mother. :slight_smile: About the colors, I think you should be careful not make the sky too dominant. Your character is the center of attention.

#59

Well, one of the hard part’s over… I think…

Nice updated Peter, it looks like your working in those little details nicely, looking foward to more of your updates.
