Nifty beans! Looking cool so far, to early to crit I think. Will wait for more complete compositions.

I like the layers of level you have, You going with a alien feel?

Nice design......^_^

Jeff MD · 05:10 AM

cody - thanks! agree with you there.
m_cederstrom - thank you too. I still dont know up to now, probably combiation of mechanical with alien feel.
actcathorse- many thanks as well

my original building designs didnt fully fit the perspective I was going with when I was repainting it to the layout. made changes and incorporating some of the desigs I have previously made to some areas.

here are the changes and development so far

step 1

step 2

step 3

this came out looking really awesome
my only critique is that you don't seem to be selling more of the evil side of this concept
i think you had it originally but it ended up getting a little lost when you added your lighting
maybe you can just tilt the view a little to the side to add some of that

Jeff MD · on 10-11-2008 08:10 PM

thefirston - many thanks. I agree with you there. thanks for the critique and the view tilt, that is why i need to create a more devilish design in the architecture walls and tweak lighting a bit as well.

Jeff MD · on 10-12-2008 03:22 AM

had to do anoter buiding design

and painted it over the image. here is a small update

cits and coments welcome!

cheers!

Jeff MD · on 10-16-2008 12:03 AM

another change for me. I felt bored with the composition. things arent working out for me. had to do a relayout.

crits and comments welcome!

cheers!

kio · on 10-16-2008 01:36 AM

yeah new composition is definatly way better - this new foreground stuff really adds depth to the scene. keep it up

Jeff MD · on 10-18-2008 05:08 AM

thank you so much for your comment koi. it is greatly appreciated.

have made 2 studies. but I think I will be going with the first one as I might go wrong doing good in the second one.

crits and comments welcome!
