Nobody going for this challenge? After trying different things (a Bioshock-themed park, one of those evil-clown-entrances..), I'll probably go for a Steampunk-Park. Here's a far too early WIP and I have no idea whether I gonna finish it in time...

Just try some traditional shading. And if you feel the need to dither, use it sparingly. When overdone it takes away from a piece. |

Also pick a lightsource that is different from straight ahead and up. Also reduces the temptation of mirroring.

The arch in the middle looks like it's out in the light (protruding), but the green surrounding it look almost inset compared to the brighter looking sections on either side, which looks as if the light is coming head on.
Think about the shapes you're trying to convey. Pick a light source and stick with it. Remember if there was no light, we wouldn't see anything.

Keep in mind I don't know what the full shape you had in mind. I only edited the top left side...to show where the light might be hitting.

I had started an entry but I'm unsure I'll make it to finish. Plus the idea is kinda... not the most exciting thing, let's say...
![]() Was going to animate it too but I'd be surprised if I even made it to finish it without animation within the deadline :P Originally posted by orenshtiv ooh ooh,and I'm going to make it all smooth and make an animation! the letters will glow,1st the "t" then the "h" then the "e" then the "M" and on... :) You picked yourself a tough one if you're gonna make the letters glow/light up one at the time because that's going to force you to switch lightsource througout the animation?

The sketch was drawn in Paint.
This is the direction I was thinking about:

Further WIP: ![]() Stuff in red = stuff I'll work on next - shadows and writing |

@Adam: Really reminiscent of fool's long piece series :D
@Bubu: imo Silhouettes work better in sharp light/dark contrast with a little AA for jaggy reduction. The gradual uh... graduation (:P) doesn't look right to me. Perhaps use some more of the green for silhouetting the purple on purple figures too :D |

Originally posted by Bubu Looking good so far Adam, I like the wood texture in the tickitz bootz :) Further WIP: ![]() Stuff in red = stuff I'll work on next - shadows and writing A great background would really set this off...I would think 'really out there'. I'm seeing a darker background with a weird light creating those shadows of the people. It reminds me of close in counters of the 3rd kind. I'm looking forward to seeing this. Maybe even a saucer type thing rather than the rocket. I'm a big fan of your work by the way. @ Adam - Very artistic looking. I'm really starting to appreciate this kind of stuff lately. A very professional illustration. |

@Adam - Looks great so far; your ideas are as creative as ever and your pixel skillz are definitely improving...hoping to see your entry finished.
@Bubu - Your entry is turning out great and your characters are very expressive, only thing is that some parts seem a bit over AA'd. |

Thanks :)
@Skam, I'm still trying to find a balance with AA :P either I don't AA enough or I go overboard haha! I suppose you refer to the flying saucer (that in my head's a high-tech merry go round with cabins whilst the spheric part has a rotating restaurant - the light parts atop are glass windows) I've added a silhouette of buildings in the background and I was thinking about adding "abduction lights" behind the gate: a giant cone of light coming from a flying saucer that is only just out of sight... @dpixel, why thank you :D I've shopping and cooking and guests to attend to tonight tho so I might not finish this properly in time, I'm afraid.
