lonellama Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 This was actually an assignment due in one of my new media classes, what do you guys think? [hide=][/hide] Here's a redo of that one! I made it look more... explosive :thumbsup: [hide=][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Center Focal is boring, look slapped together, brushes really stick out (in a bad way), color choice is poor. Check out Alyn's DeviantART page for various resources (tutorials or, at the least, guidelines) and just some plain inspiration from an incredible artist.

pryomancer Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It looks unnatural, you don't get that kind of stuff occuring in space. Realism, in terms of physics and reality, is vital. Of course massive planetary collisions and destroyed solar systems don't happen too often, although they are incredibly cool. That's what space art is all about, stuff on an unbelievably huge scale. It illustrates things that we'll likely never get to see actually occur in our lifetime, probably humanity's lifetime. The shapes and brushes you used don't happen in nature, they aren't natural shapes. Focus on planets and nebulae, that's a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryomancer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 What's wrong with it being a jpeg? There's no compression, the image is at 100% quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 ^ Yeah, stop with the random jpg bashing if you don't know what you're talking about. As for the art, I agree with what Nadril and pryo have said, it's just too flat, unrealistic and boring. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaff2 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 JPEG :wall: Epic Fail :wall: :wall: You fail more than he does. XD if you know how to keep quality with JPEG and not compress it, JPEG is perfectly fine. as long as you dont compress it its going to be perfect quality. 1980 Berlinetta with a 350, bored, mild cam, intake carb, headers, exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkNooNoo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It looks unnatural, you don't get that kind of stuff occuring in space. Surely since 'Gensis' or The Big Bang are the cause of nature, before and whilst it is happening nothing (or everything) would be unnatural? :ugeek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Haha. I do like it, though it does does look very unnatural. If it was genesis you wouldn't have the stars behind it. Somehow I think you need to make the explosion look terrifyingly powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I think you need to make the explosion look terrifyingly powerful. I agree, remove the stars, or even better cluster LOADS around the explosion. And as he mentioned make it much bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryomancer Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Everything is blurred, there should be stuff in the background which isn't. There needs to be an actual cause of this explosion, at the moment it's just random. Try adding in some planets to give the picture some focus.

Try adding in some planets to give the picture some focus. ok i'll work on it some more :) but there needs to be a cause of the explosion? i mean its Genesis, the explosion is the creation of all things in the universe :shock: but i'll add a few things here and there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Much more freaking cool. I love it tbh entirely honest. It does still lack something I think, maybe consider what pyromancer said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 OK fair point about the Genesis thing I forgot about that. :P Try adding some debris, bits of rock and stuff. Look at the ring of debris around the impact on my signature. I'm not saying copy it but look at how each piece has a highlight and a shadow trail, that leads away from the light.
