Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Final Image Date Submitted: Monday, 12 May 2008 Title: final image Notes: Whoops. .this image is a repeat post, but I forgot to enter it as the "final post" milestone. My basic idea was to show a group "space hobos" gathered around a fire, sharing whatever foods they had to create a feast of stew and cheap whine. The characters have set up next to a freeway-style lane of spacecraft, in hopes of catching a ride into the city in the distant background. I tried to show some humorous situations and lots of interaction between the human and alien characters. I wanted to keep the painting in a cartoony style, so I used simplified character designs and bight, saturated colours. The image was painting in photoshop, with a bit of photo reference for the background city and forest. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

It could use a little bit more work but time is up (and I'm at that point where I'm sick of the painting). Thanks to everyone who left comments on my thread, I got a lot of helpful suggestions.

I added the space traffic in the top left corner, and some texture to the cliffs and rocks. I'll just do some more clean up on the characters and maybe add some wood textures to the trees.

I wanted something that showed how high up the characters where, but was not distracting from the rest of the scene. I put together a couple mountain photos and painted over them (shifting to night colours and adding the clouds). I also painted in a small city in the valley to emphasize the scale.

This guy with the sign is just about finished, I just need to tweak the lighting a bit. WIth just four days left I have to add in the space ships and paint some kind of background.

They are about 90 percent finished at this point, and they just need a bit of work to hide the brush strokes and harmonize the lighting. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

I've still got to tighten up certain areas so the painting looks more uniform. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Work In Progress Date Submitted: Thursday, 01 May 2008 Title: background city colour Notes: I've started to paint up the background city. I started with a bunch of city skyline photographs and photo-shopped them into place over my drawing. I'm still painting over these photos so the city fits with the style of the rest of the image. Also, I noticed the cliff and forest next to the city are too bight, so the values will have to be adjusted. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

I've adjusted the drunk guy in the bottom corner and painted out more of the pen outlines. I'm still working on the lighting and shadows though, I think there should be some more light and dark contrast. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
