Hey man...this is lookign great... you seem to have a grasp of your concept... a few things though might help if you don't mind.

The green on the liberty hand doesn't seem to be believable... you might want to add a few vegetation near where it is to make it look much more integraded. The reflection of the building on the water also looks awkward and the footprints on the sand looks out of scale based on the buildings... you might want to clone that out.

Other than that... Awesome update!

Agree with eyecon about hand. I think you must move it back far from water, or if you decided to make it in green, make the little oasis around it. Thees and palms under this hand makes the feel real massive size of hand.

And remember, it just advices. Maybe we are wrong. Anyway "thought thrives on conflict" ;)

Don't worry Akim, i'm open for advices and suggestions.
You know, always 4 eyes are seeing better the two.:);P

PS: Youre both right with the hand !

Cheers!

Great concept man ! Those "footsteps" on the sand in foreground are great indication of life after armageddon.

The camels and the oasis are a great idea. But don't quite buy the giraffe as for scale and it's new habitat.

Don't worry the giraf was just for fun :)

I like the sand storm sweeping in. Looks cool. I still think the green is to powerful, you could try moving its hue more towards the yellows so it looks a little sun damaged but not to much. and the building on the right looks out of scale, maybe you could add some mist/haze/dust in front of it so it feels farther back. just a few ideas but over all looking really good.

Hi,

I am already working on the green issue, and I also began to destroy the buildings.
Some sand, dust arround I will try.
Cheers.:wave:

PS: What do you guys think, the sky should be more blue or it's ok like this?
Let's vote.:)

yaRa

13-01-2010, 12:13 PM

the sky is ok )
I think, you should work on the shadows at sands ) It is too black to cloudy weather )
Or am I hurry with comments like this?.. :)

Hi, everybody.
Here's my new update.
Background buldings are now damaged, and I begun o add some foreground.
Need to add more foreground and arange the sand dunes colors.(Like Yara said ) :)

Cheers.

It's getting better, I particularly like the sandstorm. One thing you should consider to work on is the introduction of a more unique light direction. For example the dunes are lit from the right side, the camlels are lit from behind and the building on the right seems to have no particular lighting yet. This would also help you to set the right mood. :)

Cheers,
Marc

Hi,

Big youre totally right.Now I wand to add something in the foreground, and get rid of the ruined building part there.I think it will look better.
After that I will work only on the lightning of the scene.
So far I have not worked at all on the light sou:wave:rces.

Cheers :)

raulfabi

20-01-2010, 08:43 PM

Hey all,
Here's my update.
I think thats enough for foreground :)
I will go now the lightning of the scene.
Cheers :)

PS: Opinions and crits welcome :D.

I like the addition of the new york sign, but it seems a little big compared to the foot prints in the sand.

raulfabi

21-01-2010, 08:16 PM

True words Claw.
I will try to add some bigger foot steps there.
Cheers.
Thanks for suggestion :)
