I've got framework for the two characters--- and now to make an environment that best suits their situation. The background used in Malakym's picture is obviously from Littlefoot, but I like the idea of the chase being in a forest. ![]() Knowing the size of the white predator, I had to clear up much of the vegetation to make room for him to be able to romp around-- the chase would end with the chameleon escaping if there is too much vegetation. I want just enough to make it challenging for the both of them. Here's my first take on the background: ![]() Changes I've put in: -A clearing where the predator will be standing, or running. -Thicker, taller trees that are more visible. -Bushes lining the clearing offering a places to hide. Backgrounds aren't my strong suit--- so this one is going to take another try. The camera will be lower, near the ground to show the scene from the height of the chameleon. |

Awesome start, ak. You've got a real sense of depth and space going already. Don't be afraid to treat the BG trees the same way you have treated the clearing. You could pull one or two trees from the extreme L and R forward in the pic so they aren't so much like a parade of soldiers back there. Good application of solid principles, chum. kib |

Hello everybody!
ElectricGnort, love how you've rendered the big guy, plus the background is a perfect setting for a monster of his calibur. You should try a bit of snow or frost in the right places-- it just might accent him well. One more--- the knuckle of his right hand (the one reaching out) looks a bit flat, do a quick skellie sketch and you'll see what I mean. ------------------------- Smoscar, beautiful work on the shirt-- you've got some great style going on there. I noticed that the buildings in the background, though blurred, stand out a bit due to the thick black outlines. If you thinned them out a bit, it'd bring lots more focus to the fella in the foreground. Take a brief look at the overall brightness of your picture. Doesn't it look a bit dark? You should experiment with some highlights on his shirt, and brighten the ones in his hair! Minor points aside, it's looking fine! ------------------------ Whooh boy-- crunchtime soon. ![]() Looking back at my previous background/scene layouts, I became very dissatisfied-- and getting the stuff from my head onto the paper was becoming an incredibly hard task. After reading a section from The Sketch Book by Neal Adams, I became enlightened about the use of thumbnails: Now before this my impression of thumbnails was this: They are tiny, compulsive scribblings made by an over-eager artist who cannot help but to draw minature versions of his works. Ah, the vagaries of the stubborn mind. ![]() In my ignorance, I had completely overlooked their potential for design and planning! ![]() I thought: Boy, with these things you could quickly design a scene layout without drawing the entire damned thing in full-scale! Newfound knowledge in hand, I quickly began belting out these thumbnails-- and within ten minutes, found a layout I liked: #5. ![]() -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The blind predator, using its keen senses, creeps forward towards the elusive blue chameleon fox. The fox, sitting in the open grass, waits impatiently for the predator, using the translucent spots on its coat to mimick nearby surroundings. Though I plan to revise it, #5 captures the original essence of the scene: a dynamic standoff between these two creatures. Here are two elements I'd like to implement: -Tension, caused by the sight of the approaching predator, his size looming in the filtered sunlight of the treetops. -Relief, brought on by the impudent blue fox, who waits in the open for his adversary. |

yeah it is blured (the lense is focusing him), the thickness was made that way in order to perceive the short distance between him and the buildings, I dont really know if it is ok but thats what I thought

Far out great work everyone- love this thread - I'm on the jazz man!
It's a bit late for me (luke…luke..help me take..this mask off...) , but I'll participate in the next comp for sure. Actually I might go through and retrospectively complete last year's exercises. But can we still get crits for them? |

I see no reason why not. But, I suppose it's up to those would be critics.

It's just surprising how quick this deadline has snuck up! Only eight days left, folks! It seems like everyone is being so secretive of their work!! <_< .......... :lol: --------------------------------------------- I like what you've done with Munch's robot, Dave. It looks a great deal more functional and... evil. The black 'laboratory grade' gloves really bring it out in him. ![]() Though it doesn't look like he has much control over the periscope attached to his head. Perhaps affix some sort of rotor-like device so it can swivel around a bit--- and check for MI6 agents sneaking up behind him. --------------------------------------------- After choosing the scene layout for my entry, I started out with this rough sketch. You'll have to overlook the how washed out the colors are. If examined carefully, you can see that the setting of the original scene has been included. (or so I hope :yfok:) Placing the trees in the background effectively proved quite difficult, but I think they look much less like a 'parade of soldiers' now. :lol: I also had a bit of trouble placing those tricky contour lines. ![]() :EDIT: And! Since it's not a close-up anyone, I decided to do away with the tilted 'camera' angle. |
