| Title: |
Alexandria--The Second Chamber |
| Notes: |
Here's my final image of Alexandria. I've added my own liberties to the scene, while following the basic concept of the original text. At this moment, the explorers are just coming upon the vast city before them...
This has been a lot of fun, and the work in these challenges gets better every time! Good luck everyone!

| Title: |
Almost there. |
| Notes: |
I've detailed this out a bit more. I'll be working on the travelers up front, and then tightening up some additional areas of interest. |

| Title: |
I might make it... |
| Notes: |
I'm back! Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I've carved out some time to hopefully finish this one. I'm sooo happy to be back with this, as I didn't think I would get the chance to finish things up. I'm going to go with this image for times sake. Maybe another time for the other image...
But what I'm thinking with this one, is a reflective surface on the walls of the chamber, that doesn't show the plasma tube, but gives that hint that it's there. Let me know what you think!

| Title: |
Refining |
| Notes: |
Here's the image, but a bit more refined. I've begun adding a hint of the curved chamber walls to the background, but I may actually put this whole image aside and begin anew with a different view and entirely different lighting scenario. More to come soon... |

| Title: |
Preliminary color pass |
| Notes: |
Here's my first pass at color. I'm just letting things flow and feeling for the mood of the piece. I'm not concerned with details just yet, but mostly just the ligthing and the value structure to base the details on. Any comments are always welcome! |

| Title: |
3D Model |
| Notes: |
Here's a rough model to get me set in the right direction and for basic perspective reference. Things will probably change or move on this model, as I will rearrange things as the painting evolves.
Okay, I'm off to begin the coloring! |

| Title: |
Another mood piece |
| Notes: |
Here's a piece I was messing around with, and I thought that maybe the overall mood might look nice. I may take this further and start introducing key elements from the book. Maybe I'll apply this lighting to previous images of the city. Just playing around and looking for some additional inspiration. Let me know what you think! |

| Title: |
another direction--second chamber |
| Notes: |
Here's a REALLY quick shot of the city. I've started to indicate some curved forms in the background...maybe I will put structures on them to indicate the curve of the city as it goes up the side of the cylinder. I've gotten rid of the travellers in this one too. Please let me know what you think, and thanks so much for the feedback thus far! |

| Title: |
slight changes |
| Notes: |
I've made some changes based on all of your comments. I added a couple of other domed structures receding into the background, and I brought the figures closer to us. It really makes me feel like I'm right there with them. The one thing I haven't figured out in this comp is the fact that the whole scened is in a big cylinder. I want to show that indication of that, but I'm not sure that this is the perfect angle to do so. Maybe another pass...maybe I will mess around with another chamber too. Thanks again everyone for your comments! |

| Title: |
3rd Pass |
| Notes: |
Thank you everyone for the nice words!
Matthias--Wow!!!!! You are amazing, and I love your version! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. I looked at my second comp, and yes, I agree that it wasn't epic enough. So I went with your advices, and I went ahead and did the 2.35 aspect ratio just as you did. It really is an aspect ratio for epic films, and thus epic scenes.
So here's my quick attempt at doing something grander and hopefully a better composition. It's pretty rough, but I hope to take it further soon. Let me know what you think folks! Thanks again! |
