good thing about ISO is that i can add some irregular shapes and they will still look iso.

This will be epic, no crits yet

Should you really be taking on projects this big at your age? I'd hate to see you go down with an unfinished project :(

Wow, it's looking really great!

I'm hoping you'll remove the outlines on the buildings, because they don't currently fit the style of the rocks.

Great piece so far!

All c+c is or will be noted, thx :)

Yes!!! We all need c+c.

Where are the detailed textures? Unless you want the piece to be consisted of copper, aluminium (or aluminum, for the americans) and sandstone..?

want a suggestion? I'd totally go for a Steampunk scene.


(i'd fall in love with you if you do that)

Very awesome jalonso, I'm always impressed by the colors you're using, really hot combination with the blue/green shadows

Your color choices are always interesting, and usually work.  However, the turquoise pops a bit too much in certain areas of the building (typically when it's near the greenish-beige).  It works fine in the rest of the piece though.

Wow great piwel!!!

@cure, I too see the turquoise problem, I'll have to leave tweaking that shade for later. I think I really need it for the rusty metals.
@zi, are the corners of the Greenhouse correct? the ends I mean.

Oh my...

+1

It really doesn't feel good to edit your work... But the colors you used felt even worse for me.

I know its supposed to look rusty and dusty and dirty, but this just isn't a pleasure to look at (which means you did a great job on realism ;) )

The only colors I really like are the blue ones you used on the building next to the maze. For the rest, I can't say I like them.


I was not able to get my self to enormous color changes, I think it would have been harder then to get the right colors at the end. However with only small changes I wasn't able to get exactly the image I would have liked. Still I think its a tiny improvement.



I noticed you use a lot of saturation on very weird places. For example: Your darkest blue and red were very very saturated. I changed them at first.
Underneath the building there is those 2 greens. A very dark and next to it a very light one. I lessened the contrast there.
I removed some of the orange spots on the walls too.

At the end I even removed 3 or 4 colors, and of course I did a lot of other things too but I cant remember them all.

I really liked the colors of those rocks in the beginning! Please make your building look dirty without it being dirty. Or is that impossible what I just said?
Well there is only one way to find out. And I think using warm colors would be the best way to achieve that. (Why didn't I think of that when I was editing your colors? Too late -_-)

I hope you appreciate my efforts :)

Original Colors - Several colors tweaked - Revamped pallete

I'm partial to the middle, but the right has nice high contrast. Some of the shadows on the house in the left one look too washed out.

@zi, that's the secret entrance. You go to the statue, press the eyes in the correct sequence and the the door hidden by the grass can be opened. The you open the regular door with the super uber cool steampunk computer by the door 

I started to fix colors and had to re-pixel from scratch. totally new palette

Are these rocks too gooey? I'm thinking road runner type of rocks, btw.

very gooey. Would you be thinking of hoodoos per chance?

no wonder that you have never time for anything :-O

so what about yur isometric shmup? this here fits the style of your ships which you showed me a while back...

keep up the good work all looks really amazing and will be magnificent when it is finished

tnx Sabata :)
There will be machinery on the floor so shadows will be cast, eventually.
I am also changing the rocks colors to help the overall hi-contrast scene I'm going for. There will be walkways and tunnels and pipes among the rocks too...

...and the hangar for the flying zepellin, the stasis tanks, the clock tower, the car area and the boat :)
