@Usmanov Great break down of your working process. Color wise, like composition. Big, medium, small. or “Mostly, some and a bit.” Mostly one color, some of another color, and a bit of a color. Recommend you refer back to the original Sylvia to help guide your color choices. :slight_smile: Included a visual with the “Mostly, some and a bit” approach. Excellent progress! :slight_smile:

@Ismail - Thanks for the feedback bro :slight_smile: Have changed the composition a bit, I agree the rider is small now. However, I wanted to make him look small amidst the environment. To make the scene more daunting. I am going to hold on to that. I like the idea of some figure inside the chopper though and a ladder, For sure they will be there in the piece. Thanks for your time. I see you are making an effort to help others. I really appreciate that.

Let me work with what I have in mind. If this does not work I will surely ask your guidance … :slight_smile:

@NecromancerT - This Character looks so cool bro. The sculpt looks so neat… :slight_smile:
@Pavel_Tomashevskiy - Love the swirling effect that is going on in your piece.

Here is an update.

Have tried to make some marking on the composition to show the composition a bit. 1, 2, 3 are points of interest. In a way how the Image is read. Also the X marks the negative space.

please have a look, and share your views.

I’ve come to this later than planned so it’s all a bit of a rush. I hope to show the Sylvia character using the grappling hook to escape from one of the radio telescopes. The telescope provides scale and structure for the background, but is fairly complex so I’m starting on that first.

The base and frame were first, then the dish. Thankfully this has radial symmetry so I only had to model one of the support sections:

Next up is texturing.

Hi guys! So Im a little late for the party but the contest looks super fun and with some amazing entries already!
Im working in doing my skin for Alphonso
My idea is that too survive the volcanic mayhem he might need some fireproof stuff and maybe some breathing filter for the ashes.
So yesterday I did a streaming concepting different shapes for the helmet and chest.
I will be sharing the video once its uploaded to the pixologic channel

Even though I was digging the black suit I wanted something that looked more fireproof so I did another variation inspired in some suits used by scientists while studying volcanos

Hi everyone!

Probably I’m the most latest participant of the contest. So many great entries inspired me be part of it too! I’m not sure about finishing my design in time, but I will do my best!
I chose Option A with Sylvia and her grapple hook
So here are some WIP’s that I made for last 3 days:
I decided that movies will give some nice composition examples to use with. And I did these rough sketches:

Then I made explorations of some posters at official web-site be sure how it should look like. I liked the idea how Sylvia flying over the helicopter and I added 3D helicopter at the background with several soldiers which try to escape from volcano eruption:

Finally I did lineart with some grayscale to show depth and volume.
So I’m here now:

@HereticTemplar Awesome!! Welcome!!! :smiley: Great start!
@OstapBlender Great render! :slight_smile: Some edit recommendations for the piece. Watch out for the tangents that effect your depth cues. Front wheel and head. Solid piece overall! :slight_smile: Great job! :slight_smile:

@sqroll Welcome, Sergei! :smiley: Great start! :slight_smile: For reference I would also recommend looking up images and videos of “kiteboarding.” You’ll get some awesome results for reference.

Added some rock on the bottom left to emphasize the composition a bit. Also added some trees on the top right to kind of block the flow there.

@AvishekB - Thanks dude, I like where Youre going with your illustration, sweet juicy stuff

Pushing things further, decided to go with comp 4th
Sooo, I made myself some quick 3d model in 3d coat, just to have some accurate base of character…
blocked some simple 3d scene in blender, last image is some base render from octane…
Need to do more passes, and then onto painting since this going to be 2d image in the end

Hello everybody. I found this challenge only two days ago and decided to take part in this competition.

I’ll try Bradley.

Since he’s the flying guy, I wanted to give him a bit more birdy look. Even his bulletproof vest should cover more of his body and still remain flexible at the joints.

@Ismail oh, thank you, that was an easy fix and it looks better now!

And I think that’s pretty much it.

Still, I’ll let it to hang for a day or two - last glance with the rested sight would be beneficial. Also I’m open to suggestions, especially about color correction.

For those, who struggles in the last days, here’s some motivation:
