Wanderer - The Coming of the Ice

[Wanderer]

Great topic! Start to work!

[Wanderer]

The idea for work.

Small prehistory of work:
Earth astronomers have discovered a class "M" planet. Discovery probes - sent to the planet - confirmed the presence of habitable atmosphere.
Moreover in the circumpolar regions has been found object - of extraterrestrial spacecraft. Near of it place, and was decided to create a planetary base.
But the most amazing discoveries have been waiting for them to come.
Infiltrating into object - turned out a alien - spaceship and go to its bottom (from the surface) levels, they have made a surprising discovery.
In some ancient times, this spaceship fell into surface or specially rammed into ice overlapping network of huge ice caves, which are hidden under the arches of ancient giant metropolis. Abandoned but not dead.

Plan of work:
Part 1:
Surface Earth colony near the excavation alien spaceship, partially submerged in ice. Sunrise or sunset - local luminaries. In the foreground - couple of aircraft, flying to the base of the ice desert. Wind. Blizzard.

Part 2:
Intersection - the transition between the caves. In one of which is visible caved set of ice caves. Hanging from the ceiling of the ship. Deserted city beneath him. At the forefront of the transition to another cave from which pours a faint bluish light. On the wall of the cave silhouette "invisible" with red glowing eyes looking at the uninvited guests.

The first part will do exactly. Second - possible. But still completed - yet even outside of the competition.

The next step - creating outline concept. Layout in the next couple of days.

[Wanderer]

same scraps

[Wanderer]

Well, that's my update. Make background and the main composition

[Wanderer]

re-conception

[Wanderer]

update - again rewrote the scene. decided not to use 3D - elements and make everything on the basis of drawing and photo reference. left to collect the foreground. hope to finish all tomorrow.

[Wanderer]

Pre - Final update

[Wanderer]

If it does not come up with more, it is the final image

[Wanderer]

And final step (If only muse again not visit me)!

[Wanderer]

Nevertheless decided to further refine the middle plan - so wait for the next step :)

[Wanderer]

do you think - better?

[Jaxko]

I prefer the 1st one of the two above^ the railings are evenly spread and looks neater.
good luck in the comp man.

[Wanderer]

Thank's. I think I - lost perspective a little . Again remade railings - along the lines of perspective. I have time to strengthen middle plan, a pair of landing pads on top.

[Rievilo]

Wow Wanderer, very imaginative !

[Wanderer]

finishing touches - I hope

имхо, с людьми перебор

[Wanderer]

But the composition - with them better. To make sense of volume. With the light falling on them comes from the source for looking. I.e. premises continues further.

Но композиционно - с ними лучше. Для придания ощущения объема. Что свет падающий на них исходит из источника за смотрящим. Т.е. помещение продолжается и дальше.

[Wanderer]

May be so

[Wanderer]

Well that's all. no longer have time to do anything. Сonducted a small survey (20 p. - 18|2) - decided to stay on this version. But if the jury like the previous one. Well I will not against :). therefore, this step - final.

Image - 2000x750 pix, but workspace - 8000x3000 pix. So, if you will be interested later I lay it here.

photo references using into work

[dh38]

Nicely done! I like the details in the spaceship foreground. BTW, awesome CGTalk portfolio!

[Wanderer]

thank you.

[Akim]

He-heh, I see that you are removed ppl from final image ) Im sure it was right decision.
I must say I like your idea of "looking from open window" of your building. It reminds me some Avatar shots.

Gool luck to your work!

[Rievilo]

Eh Wanderer !

I've seen you have used the Montreal Olympic Stadium. It is here at the of my street and I didn't noticed it on your matte :)

Nice work !

[Wanderer]

Thank you!

[Wanderer]

Interesting. The result, though negative, in competition - will be?

[Wanderer]

Results of the contest say the least - interesting.

P.S.

Well Tom - no way no.

[Rievilo]

Hi ! someone have some news about the results ?
See you !
