Concept Art - Knights of Cydonia

ALi 608 posts26 Jul 2008Hi mates. So long haven't much activity in forums. So I decided to start again with a WIP.
This is a concept inspired by Muse - Knights of Cydonia.
Also inspired by Muse - Map Of The Problematique. 
I'm doing this for my own portfolio. This may change some parts of the story that I'm writing. 
I started from a speed sketch.
And this is what I've done till now.
Sorry for low-res pics. As I added more details to it will post high-res pics.
Comments and crits are very welcomed. But plz don't kick me outta here if it's very bad!

mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts26 Jul 2008i like it but maybe its me i think the building is not blending with the scene, maybe u fixed it but didn't post update, any way great work -
rrateme95 262 posts30 Jul 2008Its looking great
but I agree with mahmoudnahmad that the building isnt blending in well.... maybe you could try a silvery/concrete coloured building -
ALi 608 posts30 Jul 2008thanks for comments mates. yeah. and thanks for pointing that. will work on it, though I want the building be outstanding a little.
may have an update in next hours. I'm kinda busy and can't work on it constantly. -
ALi 608 posts31 Jul 2008Ok. here is an update. I created the spaceship and worked more on materials and colors.
I did more work on texture of it.
And here is latest render. I also have changed the material of tower.
As you see render is noisy a bit. I'll increase lighting samples to improve it in next updates. -
31 Jul 2008Cool man, nice progress. It's a shame we can't see more of the spaceship in the comp, it's nice lookin'.
-
mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts31 Jul 2008i like it a lot, the ships upper side texture seems kinda blurry or maybe thats ur objective.
-
ALi 608 posts03 Aug 2008thanks JayG. I think next time I'll post bigger renders. and also change lighting a bit.
@mahmoud yeah. didn't added much details in it. may improve it for final image.
Now I'm working on city block. modeling is almost done. probably have an update tomorrow morning. -
ALi 608 posts03 Aug 2008updates!
I've changed many things this time. The whole lighting, framing and also removed glow effect. Also THIS is a big render!
Didn't added much details to city block. may add more for final image.
and here is new update. Please download full size image in deviant page. I didn't add image code cuz it's about 1.5 mb.
-
ALi 608 posts08 Aug 2008Probably I'll post some updates before Sunday.
-
rrateme95 262 posts08 Aug 2008That one is alot better =D Only thing I would suggest is that there be ALOT of buildings like a city with that big one being the tallest otherwise the scene will seem quite empty..... im not sure how that would look but just a thought, but still looks awesome =)
-
08 Aug 2008You've got a major tangent with the top of the tower and one of the craters on the moon. I'd try to move the ship away from the crater as well, or create more color contrast between the two.
-
ALi 608 posts08 Aug 2008thanks rrateme95.
yeah. you're righ JayG. Didn't noticed that. wlll fix it.
At the time I'm thinking about completely redoing the moon modeling. -
rrateme95 262 posts08 Aug 2008If your thinking about redoing the moon, I'd say you should think about what kind of feel you want for the scene, e.g. for a action/adventure scene I'd say something like a really detailed moon with a glow to give the scene more complexity because at the moment I dont think the moon has enough detail..... maybe you could try getting a sphere and adding a moon map and a bump/displacement map and then giving a glow to it to do that..... looking good so far though

27 Aug 2008Whoohooouu - not bad, not bad
My personal point of view - I liked silver colored building more than final version inspite of majority opinion. Somehow it looks more magical, abstract yet in the same time appealing, somehow like that. In any case, it leaves stronger feeling that this set is "somewhere far, far away in a galaxy"
Especially I like that huge Moon of yours, don't shrink it smaller !
Hope you got lucky and successful with your project. Will it be scene modeling or some animation by the way? -
ALi 608 posts27 Aug 2008thanks much kashak. I changed the tower color cuz those who built it are not good folks. but may change the colors so it be more outstanding.
btw, sorry for not having new updates yet. I'm kinda busy these days. I'm working on a completely new moon in my free times. But yeah I'll keep the size of it huge.
Probably there will be no animation. but may be I'll sell models in online shops. -
mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts27 Aug 2008your cracking this master piece in a very good time

ALi 608 posts23 Sep 2008Hey mates. Here is new update.
It's still far from final. I did some ps work this time too.
Please full size image. comments and crits are welcomed as always. Do you have any idea to improve it plz?
-
rrateme95 262 posts24 Sep 2008Hey, Ali! Its looking great but there are a few suggestions i have:
1) I think the moon should have a small glow in it because at the moment there is too much contrast between the moon and the sky
2) I know ive said this a bajillion times but I think the scene could do with a few more buildings to make it more kinda how a real life city would look
3) I can see alot of stretched spacecrafts and I think it might look better unstretched (I'm harsh aren't I)
Other than that its lookin great and i do like the fog as well as the sky, keep it up -
mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts12 Oct 2008whats your focus, i think the moon is getting everyone's eye quickly and centers on it.
