EOW Round #203: Probe Arriving at Gliese System

Topic: Probe Arriving at Gliese System
suggested by xbert

This week's theme will focus on a celestial/space environment where a probing aircraft or a general vessel is seen arriving at Gliese, a planet system surrounding a red dwarf. I figure it's been awhile since the EOW has went intergalactic. Strap in!

Please post your finals in the "Final Burning" thread which will be set up before the deadline.

DEADLINE: February 14, 2013

So the idea is to paint a straight up planet system? No space stations or nothing?

**Vulgar`** · February 1st, 2013, 04:21 PM

Interpretation is open. You can do whatever you envision!

Adrian: I like C actually, works really well as a composition. I kinda like the dual penis vessel as well

**Androno** · February 3rd, 2013, 11:59 AM

Hi everyone! Great sketches here already!

Maybe I misunderstood the topic, does the "celestial environment" means like a planet environment too, or it could be only something in space?
Anyway, here's my really quick sketch. If it't not relevant to the topic, I'll try new one.

Flame_Unquenchable : liking those colors. i would go crazy with stars in the background/atmosphere.

so after a sleepless night and countless wasted hours trying to do simple functions in zbrush like hard surface shape rendering, which seems impossible.
i switched to a different program, with some basic knowledge i did this in less than an hour.

basically copying my previous design. . . . . .

hullo!

Last week I found a really cool planet making tutorial on 3dtotal http://www.3dtotal.com/index_tutoria...splay=2&id=547 and thought i'd apply the technique here and see what I could come up with. It feels like a cheat but people use textures and brushes all the time, so as a secondary element / base to work on, it could be useful. What do you think?

**Anthis** · February 5th, 2013, 07:23 PM

Dayle- you're my hero. Nice find! I feel pretty clueless when it comes to PS.

I'll try and get some WIPs in soon!

**NickyBeats** · February 5th, 2013, 08:57 PM

very cool stuff so far! especially loving pixeltuner's thumbs!!

heres a quick doodle from me, enviros and mechanical things... two things i really suck at... waaaay outside my comfort zone on this one...

**Incinerated** · February 6th, 2013, 04:27 AM

made a quick tutorial for planet making.

Also

**Kvenh** · February 6th, 2013, 02:10 PM

Really basic spaceshit. I just felt like I had to get all the normal stuff out of my head as I haven't done any space scenes before. Not sure if I'll continue this one but figured I'd upload it anyway. Really quick wip.

Hey! This will be my first EOW, and I am loving all the wips! It's so inspiring to see all the awesome art in this place!
So here is my wip, and so far it's just the background. I'll bring a ship into the picture tomorrow. Any critique or advise is so appreciated!

Might just do a more regular environment if I have the time. I'm having hard time with this type of stuff. I totally forgot about the probe.

**Michael Howe** · February 9th, 2013, 02:19 PM

Lionsketch, I like your idea - it seems to have an "exploring" vibe to it, which is good with this contest. I don't know exactly what makes it feel that way - maybe the fact that we are looking out on this (currently) desolate landscape, and the probe is moving INTO it?

**Pixeltuner** · February 9th, 2013, 03:52 PM

nice stuff y'all.

Here's an update on my thingie.
