Latest Update: Final Image: SteamSet: The Sunken Cemetery

#2

I had originally planned a video entry. Time is running out, but this theme is just too good to let pass.

Instead… Here’s the rough (plenty of placeholders) layout for my still image entry. A steam movie set. Murnau and Nosferatu. Lots 'o atmosphere and steamy grit to come.

#3

Still lots 'o placeholders, but beginning to get a feel for the final composition.

#4

More geometry work on the composition. Still need a background and a few more bits and pieces. I’ll add the figures when I start painting over this rough.

#5

such a cool concept! good work!
I wait to see more :smiley:

#6

Here’s my final composition… which means it will only change about six more times. The geometry was done in Modo. Now I’m starting the painting process.

#7

Detail of the first paint pass. I think i’m gonna keep it looking a little like an old sepia glass plate photo. Could change if I start to get interested in more color.
Thanks alicia for the kind words. Good luck with your entry as well.

This is my final piece. I’m working on a mac with no access to a PC to make the final upload to enter the contest. That’s okay (I guess) I’m happy to have finished.
The image is of an early film set where F.W. Murneau is making a ‘lost’ classic: “Nosferatu in the Sunken Cemetery”.
Luck to all those who finish the competition and have access to the proper hardware.
