I havent posted on concept art for about a year... (was busy getting married and moving)

so my first entry to the DSG...

The idea is that this is one of many recievers for long range star-to-star transmissions, sending and recieving messages planetside and then bouncing them back and recieving them on the large dish. Living quarter for crew and space for supplies, with a central elevator shaft for moving large quantities of equipment.

Man i suck @ this... anyway here it goes...

Goran, do you paint that in photoshop or on paper with copic markers ?

**goran** · May 27th, 2004, 03:50 PM

Galo-This was done in Painter5, sketch was done on paper, very rough than it was scanned and the rest is Painter.

Time : 25 minutes
Description: flying comet / Spacestation....

Cool idea, SWPX.

A bit dark. Maybe you could add more to it.
If that only took you 25 mins.

Or, maybe you are like me...

...busy all the time.:chug:

**SWPX** · May 27th, 2004, 11:38 PM

well heres a 2 minute addition to the previous picture to brighten it up a bit i guess? .... but i dont know what to add,... any suggestions?

**OtterFrenzy** · May 27th, 2004, 11:59 PM

The 80's meet Lovecraft in Space....

:trippy:

Goran- Tight design.

SWPX I like it. Maybe add some structures under the layer of gas enveloping the comet to bring home that it has been modified. Plus then you could maybe have metal reflecting that nice orange glow etc.

Sigma-X Damn, you must work fast in 3-D. I think the design suceeds at communicating function visually.

Otter, I cut corners by using the standard materials and not making super clean models--I'm normally a low-poly modeller and crank out solid meshes--in my 3d sketch it's a bunch of primitives with just a few modifications. I know the tools pretty well, which helps a lot, and the fact that I've got a fast machine doesn't hurt either

quickie here

its on the moon ^_^ or whats left of it at least..

OtterFrenzy: LOL yours wins

goran: cool design ^_^
SWPX: thats actually a neat idea and i kinda was inspired by it

Galo: I think its cool, a bit on the ufnky side o_O
sigma-x you modeled it? nice

Ajax: COOL! its kinda like they're eating rocks

**Galo** · May 28th, 2004, 03:44 AM

Yeah i kow, but still im hanging on and trying, never did concept art bfore but have to learn anyway

**goran** · May 28th, 2004, 10:00 AM

OtterFrenzy, AgentJ-thanks, I noticed now it looks like Deep Space 9,funny. Cheers

Ok i give up, if anyone wants to use my pic and elaborate on it , they can... it would be cool to see what people could do with it... Im stuck i dont know what else to do, this is what i came up with...

**Arbiter051** · May 28th, 2004, 05:27 PM

Had no ideas, but I forced myself to finish. Turned out like kind of a cosmic waypoint jumpstation.
Is the lens flare too much?

**agentJ** · May 28th, 2004, 08:20 PM

Yeha it looks too articifial Arbiter.. I wuold have rather painted it or what not, but it DOES help a lot.
very ocol work, except for the jumpstation is lit from BEHIND for some reason o_O..

!

good work guys

**Arbiter051** · May 28th, 2004, 08:41 PM

Gaah! Oh man, I really messed up the lightsource, good call agentJ.

I need to be more careful with that in the future. No more heavy drinking before DSG entries :beer:
