Milestone: Final Image
Date Submitted: Saturday, 06 January 2007
Title: Thistledown City Final
Notes:
Final image story and background :

I wanted to explore the grand space of the cylinder. I was fascinated by the Thistledown City and really loved the descriptions of its discovery through Patricia's eyes.
I thought an interesting twist would be to see all three countries scientists represented together in a hopeful image of discovery. One where they stand together and have their picture taken in front of this massive city that stretches out beyond. You know maybe they can work together on this one.

Title: Final
Notes:
Hello! Well I think I'm finally finished with this piece. I have decided to finish here otherwise I'll be noodling for days! The only thing left to do is upload.

Quick Question :

When one submits the final image is it full res or do I just upload the 120k jpg?

Anyway thanks for the fantastic feedback and comments. I wish everyone the best luck.

cheers.

Milestone: Final composite and colour timing
Date Submitted: Saturday, 23 December 2006
Title: adding details...
Notes:
Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. It really spurs me on. Thank you.

Now I'm refining and balancing. Another update.

Added clouds, rivers and many colour adjustments. I wanted to get the feeling that there's two cloud layers. Especially wanted to see the lower one curving up the side of the cylinder to sell the shape of it.

Merry Christmas one and all!

Milestone: Initial color pass or textured and lit model
Date Submitted: Monday, 11 December 2006
Title: Thistledown
Notes:
Thanks for the great comments and feedback! Good luck to everyone.

I've started to refine the city a bit - adding texture here and there.

I started to rough in the idea of the scientists posing for a photo in front of their "discovery". I wanted to have the three nations there representing a united front. Kind of hard to see at the moment so I may add some localised lighting in there.
Just an idea at the mo.

Title: roads and stuff
Notes:
Hello!

Wow, not much time to work on this the last week. I did start work on some foreground focus stuff -Namely the roadways.

Nazirull's idea of having the countries represented really appeals to me. So I plan on having people with flags on the roadway as if they're coming upon the city for the first time. We'll see!

Title: Thistledown
Notes:
Hello everyone.

I've been spending time looking at all the other work here. It's really inspirational stuff. Fantastic!

Anyway, I've done a rough colour pass. I want to make the city look more shiny as it's looking too dull and old right now. Next time I get to sit down I'll try to add it in.
I still need to incorporate the golf tee's.
Jumping around a bit with the creation.

Going to sleep now!
