View Full Version : Gift to the Gods- Monument to the first Angel- Wargrafix

Interesting challenge. I'm thinking something grand. Something that if you saw in real life, would think, "Who the hell could build that???"
Difference is, I'm thinking of a monument on another world of Humans. And of course an interesting altar.
I had a few poses planned, but thinking about how to execute the final lighting got me thinking that the sword over the shoulder pose would cause issues.
The idea is as follows:
A long time ago a war between rival planets erupted. According to legend, an angel descended from the heavens and gave power to the people of the world. Here is the statue carved, built in reverence. The glowing ball in the left hand will look alot like the one in Kane's hand in Command and Conquer 4. Something about that just resonated with me and its been stuck in my head ever since.
Here is the structure concept:

Why thank you. before I do any piece, I do a 15 mins. mashup design. I am extremely happy with the composition, unlike the yeti challenge where everything went wrong.
Acutally, yes, those are mountains. The object to the left is the planet. A big planet. I went with the ideas that most monuments were over sized for grandeur sake and the more complicated it was, the more important it was.
There so much left to do, but the composition hurdle, once overcome, shorten development time. now its time to flesh out the design and choose with line-work to keep

But that challenge is over with. Its time to rock out!
I've got some linework going on here. A little more defined. The treeline may get linework, or be painted in,

Hey wargrafix!
Nice stuff here, i really like the "pulling in" feeling of the picture.
The face lost a bit from its female look from the first concept to the next one. I'm not sure if the male features works better. I personally like the first version!
I also think, that the left hand of the monument is weird. (the one holding a globe)
But i like the style, and the clean lines you have here. I'm keeping an eye on this thread!
Good luck
wargrafix
04-03-2010, 07:29 AM
Thanks!
Yeah, the upturned 3/4 view is maddening. I not even sure how I did it in the first pic. lol
If its being read as male, then I have certainly face palmed the piece. x-P
I resisted throwing my stylus against the wall for the hand. It has not been cooperating at all. Hands are my weak point, but eventually they come together. I'm going to take a break, get some sustenance and take a stab at it again.
I save frequently so if I screw up, I'll just try again. I think I'm just preoccupied by the forest, with the lighting I have planned, its either going to be an epic win, or a "haha, you suck" fail.

if that's a human sized character on the pedastal then it seems to big; makes everything seem not as grand in size as youi're going for. maybe scale it down - or you could pull the whole pedastal closer to the camera to balance it out.

Care with the "ball" arm, something wrong there. Good start man, keep it up!

Yeah, the ball arm has been particularly troubling. I made a correction to the hand and dropped the sze of the priest.
Ok now for the noob admission. When I saved to upload the linework I mistakenly painted on the Jpeg. Which means I actually had to repaint the original. Now somethings I had liked in the original paint i just couldn't recapture, but I think its moving nicely.
I would like a bit of critique on the gold pin on her clothes, does it blend properly? Or is the gold too bright?

i like the color selection and mood you are going for. not sure if you plan on keeping your lines, if you do i would suggest cleaning them up just a little, and adding some line weight.
this was done by a good friend of mine called Enrique Rivera. Notice his use of line weight. Some lines are thicker than others to give the illusion of depth.
you can see more of his art at http://enriquerivera.blogspot.com/

wargrafix
08-03-2010, 01:27 PM
@WhiteGuardian: Thanks, I'm experimenting with the color to see if I can get an interesting blend.
@NTxGRAVE Clean lines have always been an issue with me, but even magnified with using a wacom tablet. I checked the site. Amazing! Clean lines and the use of colors really makes his art stand out.
I kept the linework on a separate layer in case I decide to abandon it. At some point I may either spend some more time on it or abandon it like I did with the yeti challenge. I always switch the lines on/off when I work, to check how the detail is coming along.
At some point, like in the Yeti challenge, the painting detail negated the need for lines.
I need to build a better brush collection though. I still hate photshop, and in Painter, it is a little tough to get the exact line brushes. I really hate seeing thick black lines in my pieces, where its not supposed to be. To create the lines here, I didn't use pen, or pencil brushes, just watercolor.

I agree, the artwork is most impressive. Enrique is very talented also.
Funny enough, going without linework is actually outside my comfortzone. In previous pieces it was hit or miss sometimes though. What I do now, is instead of keeping strictly black lines for finished pieces is let the lighting and color values of the object determine the color of the line. This piece will push me a little because of the environmental detail.
Here is the piece minus linework and with some more detail. Trees with my paint method is often difficult at best.

This time around the lack of lines is a GREAT help. you can still use your lines as a guide but i think your final should be presented as a pure painting...without lines. Looks WORLDS better without lines. Your lighting and shading gives it a good sense of 3 dimensional form. The lines tended to make the over all piece look flat. so yea NO LINES
i also agree with MightyMeg the sphere should be on the palm, instead of the tip of the fingers. even tho thats just a personal aesthetic.

08-03-2010, 06:41 PM
Thank you very much. I still love drawing, and linework will always be my favorate but the painting alone tends to look better.
Trust me, it was a compromise that didn't come easy. I had wanted to place the ball in her hand but nothing was working for the anatomy. It would have take far too long to wrangle through.
I've heading out now, but let me leave a little concept piece i was just trying out for fun this morning.

This is just a personal vision of what you could do, I trashed a bit your art (I hope you will forgive me) to show you something else.
You know correction is a matter of point of view, what we commonly call errors and mistakes can also be used as expressives tools, personnally I don't like the word "common".
Maybe you're kinda suffocating your image, so my constructives comments are:
-outline
-contrast
-clarity

I pushed a bit luminosity (+40) for the jpeg compression, on my photoshop/screen the initial lightning was kinda OK, but maybe you can push it up a lill' bit.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Things have been quite hectic.
@Stoneking: Thank you. I'm keeping things loose so adding stuff isn't too tough.
@chris_solo: Thanks, I'm having alot of fun with it.
@washka: I am most grateful for your advice. Before I worked on the piece I had asked myself what time of day lighting I wanted. The light sources I wanted were divided into the sun, the massive planet and minor, the torches.
The heavily muted colors did appear to suffocate the image because I wanted a sort of dusk look. I am doing a little brightening to see what effect works. The sky color you suggested is a bit too bright for the time of day I'm looking at, but it shows the other possibilities. Which I am really grateful to you by the way.
Contrast is something I will leave for finishing touches since the lighting is almost done. but not quite. Here what the progress is so far. The shattered moon was in my original though process, and I think its working in the image.

Thanks everyone. The glow idea is how I prefer to end most of my pieces. The orange compliments the color scheme for the lighting idea. Right now its going to be orange/reddish for the sunlight and a blue for the planet. the yellow will be muted, but definitely present for the torches.
Some may have noticed I redid the crown and pin. I am now comfortable with it in terms of detail, and its not too bright.
Stoneking, thanks, I am most comfortable with Painter 11. and its best money I ever spent (not including the wacom tablet though). I use to use photoshop but I felt really limited. To get the painterly feel just didn't happen for me in photoshop and to get these results took me alot more time.
RIFF format is my favorite, but I pay for it in terms of disk space. The challenge has already eaten 2.14GB. And its not over yet. ^_^

Mmmmm I don't think the orange glow is overdone, considering the intensity of the sun behind, but as throne said, the yellow glow on the stairs is too much, you should reduce it. Isn't the blue light on the black sphere a bit too saturated compared to the rest? Anyway it looks really good in general.

23-03-2010, 06:41 AM
Thank you everyone. Finding the balance for a finishing element such as glow brushes is a challenge. I personally loved the heavy saturated orange glow because the sun, even in partial eclipsed mode is still a bit orangish. Its a reddish star. the shattered object is a shattered moon.
I agree the torch are too bright. so I'll trade the yellow lighting for the altar lighting from the sun. I was balling that aspect, but ultimately the yellow torchlight has to be more desaturated. Te area around the priest will remain heavily lighted though.
The massive planet is only going to provide a light glow since time of day will not permit a huge amount of light.

So I dropped the torch-lights a bit. and replaced the lighting with the sun reflecting on the pillar. I'm debating if I should throw some glow on the clouds.
I kept the priests alter bright, so he wouldn't be lost in the gloom. The orb in her hand may require some extra work.

I also decided that instead of a meaningless set of glyphs on it, why not a planetarium ? added the brighter stars in the sky to reflect what the orb would have showed if it was night. of course the reflections presented some interesting challenges.
I still have time to decide if I should add blue glow for the planet or paint it brighter.
ok, first time I'm using imageshack so I hope it works. what you should see is a thumbnail leading to a full size 4960*3425 image. hope you like it. ^_^

Hey man!
I really like the image you have there, and i do see a thumbnail, so you it works.
I love the orange color all over the place, it gives a really nice fell to it.
I have a nice stuff here on my PC about hand drawing. If you want to, you could contact me in private message, and i could give it to you. It would help you a lot a think.
Because the hands are a little bit weird.
Anyways, it's all nicely done!

Thanks. I was now reviewing it. and in redoing the painting of the orb, the reflection of the fingers messed up the hands. I better fix that.

ok, made some adjustments. should be a bit better. I swear that hand never let up in the amount of trouble it caused. Its the hardest hand angle.

Wow just had a proper look at the high resolution image above, there's really alot more detail that i'd actually missed, such as the reflection in the sphere/orb she's holding etc. This is really looking cool :)

thanks. working at that res allows a huge amount of flexibility. I would say the piece is 90% done.

Wow, haven't seen this in a while. Great progress from what i last saw. My biggest issue now is how the image seems to be divided by color regions. Orange on the right, blue on the left, and green on the bottom. the differences are soo drastic from one to the other. maybe find a way to make the transitions more subtle. As bright and orange as that sun is, the blue moon on the left would reflect back some of that light. Just like how you have a faint orange haze on the tip of the grass field on the bottom right. Apply that same idea to the moon/gas giant.
other than that. Thumbs up Soldier.

I hear you TNTxGRAVE. I was more or less leaving the blue glow and grass interaction until i was certain what strength the blue glow should be.
Here are 2 possibilities. Whichever one is better sends the piece to 98% done.
Heavier blue glow:

I can :D, look at shoulders blue points for example.
In my opinion: I prefer the second one.
It's funny, it has been some weeks I've last seen your work and now I pass by and I can see that your lightning has completly changed, I like your new one.
By the way, big work on details, good job man, your full res is quite awesome!
Some orange on right green grass part?

Yeah, I was going to do the orange glow for the trees.
I saved that one separate and decided to have a little fun with the piece. Rather than some boring story about the angel being built for saving the people against another race, how about an offering against a looming problem. I present to you: Alternative version: distant black hole!

I see the final version thread is up. But cuious, there are no calls for a WIP Sheet, have the rules been changed?

Well did some polishing up. This looks like the final piece. I decided the black hole on top was a bit much and crowed a bit. So here it is for all to see in as lossless quality that jpeg allows:

Thanks. Unfortunate the mod didn't answer about the changes to the delivery details such as a WIP sheet. I may mess around with the piece a little more and probably deliver by tonight.
The size of the image has to be 1280 so this image size should be correct.
