Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Final composite and colour timing Date Submitted: Wednesday, 31 January 2007 Title: lastminuterun 1 post before final Notes: this comission stole me a whole day so i might not finish as clean as i wanted, speedpainting against the timer, 3hours 52 mins left, wich i wont use completely, in 2 hours i'll make my ftp upload to be on the safe side this time. cleanup at 90% just a few more edges to clean and a few more lights to paint, highlights on olmy is next. compositionwise added some vegetation to the lower right corners axis city scene, added tons of details and 2 more spacesips to bridge the space between fornt scene and far background. i think the added vegetaion helps that part a lot since it now has a true foreground, if that part's missing, you risk all becomes midground and you have no depht at all. added some ceiling in the lowerleft corners 6th chamber, that tech-pattern the book sais, upper part, red. cyan lights to have a nice shiny ilumination.. some green lights too to ballance the lack of green. worked in cold accents to the thistledown header cuz the book sais its silver, it was way too purple. a short way to go and painting marathon of now 12 hours goes on... hope you like the post :D c ya when the ftp is done :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Final composite and colour timing Date Submitted: Sunday, 28 January 2007 Title: almost there - cleanup works at 75% Notes: first of all bit thanks to walrus for his overpaint, its been a huge help while fixing not finished fixing everything but closer to what i hope to get it. here's what else i worked at. center scene, wave of destruction ^^ yay knocked it down to moncromatic yellow and destroyed all buildings. now i know how fun the job of a pyrotechnican must be :p. cityscape- sketched in tons of little buildings. workid in warmer accents into mona's pink to have a better colorharmony with the center. cleaned up 50% of the ecges yet, and started set values right. borehole - started detailing it, its an extralayer so i dont bother with painting around it nameplates - knocked em down a bit, i think they pop less now. fixlist: jacket folds not there yet, next pass necks, need more work - still not satisfying. olmy - needs his final level rendering - higlights not yet done buildings - textures not yet painted. volumetrics. upper part needs more clouds - fog text - needs light fx and cleanup post effects - all over glow and flare fx will be last pass almost there and i think 3 days will be nuf to bring it over the finishing line :) if anyone sees stuff that is not in the in my fix list please please feel free to let me know :) hope you like the update - 90°callengefever, and closing panic CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Line Art / Model Date Submitted: Sunday, 21 January 2007 Title: thoughts on grids and composition Notes: rofl ok i decieded to give the poster a shot. there's been so much that was off and i tarted put it back into perspective before the final rendering. its not a shame to make a grid to get things back into perspective, and what i done was very simple. I wanted to have a lense effect so i had to figure out how to do it. i took those lines i thought were facing mainly right as guideline, then made a bow matching the curvature best and blended it down to the horizonline. since the piece is built with a centerperspective, the rest was done fast. now that i have a (rather fancy) 3 point perspective grid the rest is painted back into perspective much faster :) i hope you like the compositionupdate, i found the background in the upper part way too empty and painted 2 buildings into the midground. also i added a brighter space to lanier and flipped lanier and olmy for the storywise reason. lanier: representative of the past, olmy the future, for me, its more logical he is over axis city. and lanier over the sixth chamber wich represents for me the heart of the stone and makes all technological miracles on it possible. mirsky and patricia back to back as for their ways are as different as thinkable, mirski moved right, he'll travel to the end of time while patricia tries to change the past, and ends up in an other universe... i think the new placement makes so far more sense. working on the details now, hope you like my decicion to finish this on :) all c&c most welcome :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Concept Art Date Submitted: Monday, 15 January 2007 Title: children of eternity Notes: ok, my purple friend made me paint this purple draft, following the walrusian advice i went back to the very beginning of my sketches and tried to get that spirit back. now this is version4, i know but based on the very beginning, i think i'll stick with this one finally, its much more simple but basically i have back what i lost during this challenge, the feel for the piece. let me know please what you think :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Concept Art Date Submitted: Saturday, 13 January 2007 Title: erm colorvariation layout3 - darker version Notes: ok, just wanted to have tested that too. I agree with mike in prolly all points mentioned. i mainly sketched in the new sixth chamber. then for onkmer, olmy's fav. frant. behind mirsky now the walls of books of the library. to avoid broken neck confusion again i sketched in a quick olmy. yet i am still unsure if i'd stick with this but i like the new sixth chamber somehow. i think its the challengefever, i had way too little sleep the last days and started disliking all i do. i agree with mike the fog was a bit overdone. killed the foglayer for this test. for this solution, the text is nessesary, to create the whole image. i made it part of the library's interface. since i wanted to create a movieposter style image, i tried my best to let the text not just being placed on the image rather than being part of it and i thought making it part of the interface would be a possebilety do melt it into it. what do you think about this version?

Notes: now i'd be very very thankful for feedbacks since this is a very hard decision. i played around with my composition in the last 2 days basically cuz i was unhappy because it looked very static. i think i found the final composition nnow, might change things on the colors but mainly am happier with the feel of it. stick with it? pleas let me know if this works.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Initial color pass or textured and lit model Date Submitted: Sunday, 17 December 2006 Title: fogpass - putting values where they belong Notes: ok, started on some volumetrics, and yay, love my cloudbrush for doin this mainly tinted the whole piece slightly purple and then colordoged out some highlights, then copied the whole piece to a new laye and started hardlight the whole scene to get the values right. after some speak with Walrus (thanks mate, helpful as usual) i actually let many parts simply drop to the background. now more detail brushups, at least i could unify the piece now, abd te tweaks brought the characters strongly forward as well. see ivy? promissed an update in the next 2 days, so here it is :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Initial color pass or textured and lit model Date Submitted: Monday, 20 November 2006 Title: detailing - valuetweaking - rendering Notes: left side: added tons and tons of details i am rendering right now. added a trainstation in the sixth chamber right behind the ramp of the road and boosted the valuefalloff. right side, just some sketched in not yet rendered elements,like lakesm more buildings, pushed up the cliff line i flipped the spaceship with its tail to the viewer to poit INTO the pieceand put it into the foreground. header set the perspective right of the bowstructure and set right the main values - leftside started light some of the buildings, just a draft version. knocked the portraits more out from their surroundings also let the stones emitting light interact with the hair, sketchy yet but i think the things look better if hey interact with each other. well hope you like the update, more work on the detailing as soon there's some visable progress. :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Initial color pass or textured and lit model Date Submitted: Tuesday, 14 November 2006 Title: protraitsteps1 - and olmy revisited Notes: ok, olmy has changed much, and that has a reason. he probably was the character for me to read. there's much politics, always when his parts of the journey run, so in "eternity" my picture of him has changed much. instead of the slick political activist, i started seing him different. ex-cop, sharpminded ex-soldier, still taking more risk than its smart, a true ruffneck an straight forward. so i gave him eaglelike features, sharp, bowed nose, more weathered and plan giving him grey sides on his hair. as for lanier, i tried make him attractive, since all girls get a crush on him on the stone. so i tried making him a tired looking but attractive man around 35, and as for mirsky, he's at the end a cery curious man, reasonable, so i tried to make him less agressive, smarter, layed weight on an intelligent look. step 1 on portrait refinements done, more refinements after sleep. :) all c&c most welcome, as usual.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Initial color pass or textured and lit model Date Submitted: Tuesday, 14 November 2006 Title: impact - the Angel of death Notes: just a screenshot of the centerscene - death. atualy wanted to bring in a few emotional feels i had when i pictured ppl facing the end of all they know, so gave it kind of a religious touch. a mother, covering her child, a business man"forgive me father for i have sinned" a hummer crashing with a mercedes - and up in the sky wing like rays around the mushroomcloud like spread wings hidden - nothing is dearer than life as you shall remember when the amgel of death on the brink of a final strik is upon you. Ok, thats the basic plan when painting the center. I might add more symbolic elements but mainblocking in center done now as well :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
