Shadows of Elysium

:bulletblack: I proudly present my latest wallpaper. The story: You are in the captain's office right after a larger fight. The ship was heavily damaged but the homefleet was successful. At the moment you are on the search for the rest of the escaped aggressors. The captain starts to have doubts about his mission, his job and his life...

Misc

:bulletred: Ok I tried new things in this pic and I'm pretty happy with it's outcome. I ever wanted to creat a flight-scene with larger ships. To avoid confusion: the thing on the right side is an extraterrestrial transmitter. I thougt it's nice to implement new elements to the common stuff. It basically is a mattepainting, textures were taken from cgtextures.com. There'll be only one resolution this time (via download). It's a larger wide-screen so you shouldn't have problems by sizing it down (or adding borders for your personal scree-size).

I appreciate every comment, fav and email, as always :thighthug:
Thanks to ~LordDaroth for the title :)

Wobei ich bei der Länge ne critique draus mache :P

1) Also ich finde es sehr gut gelungen, allerdings muss ich pebcak im Bezug auf die Risse recht geben, dies betrifft für mich aber eher die Brüche link und rechts in den Ecken (oben). Die passen schon eher zu einer kleineren Scheibe (Erkennbar am Riss diagonal durch die Glasfläche. d.h. nicht senkrecht und dünn wie bei den meisten anderen Rissen).

2) Außerdem finde ich, dass der Schatten des Objektes rechts (ist das ein Stein oder Skulptur? hat Sturman ja auch schon gefragt :P) nicht zum Winkel des Schattens des Commanders/Captains und zum Lichtverlauf passt.

3) Der Umhang des Captains und die Sichtbare Seite der Skulptur sind bei einem so starken Gegenlichteinfall und nahezu keiner entgegengerichteten Lichtquelle zu hell. Da müsste bei dem Licht einiges weniger zu erkennen sein.

4) Wie schon von Sturman gesagt, sieht der view screen leicht komisch aus. Für mich ist jetzt nicht klar erkennbar, ob das einen 3-dimensionalen, tiefen Rahmen oder nur einen Rahmen, der an der Seite ist darstellt.

Im Großen und Ganzen bin ich aber sehr beeindruckt und fasziniert von dem Bild. ;)

now that does not look too bad here. you're almost able to create yourself a background story by just looking at the scene.

the cuts in the glass are a bit distracting though. somehow it looks like the cuts are not exactly reacting to the light from the scene. maybe some more painting extensions here and there to get the most out of these cuts in the glass to get a bit more integration. i'm also referring to the fact that this window's glass should be very thick (it's space and vacuum out there)... and the cuts look a bit flat.

for me, right now, the cuts are a bit too dominant too. the rough contrast they create feel like it tears the pic apart a bit. but that's just my sight of things.

all the other parts, atmosphere, lighting... really nice. good stuff.

It is really amazing how you can create such a rich and detailed story from such a simple image. And then you do it again and again with each new work. wonderful.

Captain seems to have a lot of issues for this mission. I think he has more on his mind then just the mission at hand.

I think I will stay a while and bask in the glory of how awesome you are. Only thing I noticed is how it looks like he's reaching to place his hands instead of leaning on them. The fingers almost look curved.
Other than that I am in awe of you abilities.

Veery nice!! :+fav:
Your artwork looks absolutely realistic and i really feel the doubt of the captain. very well expressed.
Allso nice detail on the glass/holo-sceen and the transmitter. Your vision of a space-fleet containing larger ships worked out nicely ^^ :)
