Guardian of the Skies.


The ramp source has been OK'd by Rob. A couple of the images are in a Gallery, so I put down their gallery numbers.

SBS has been updated to reflect changes. (5 years and 550 days ago)

This is a well put together chop, lots of imagination and work put into it. Be that as it may, there is something about the shadows bothering me. Specifically the tones and consistency. It seems to me that those gun turrets, the ropes from the balloons, and the side of the ship need some shading. Also, I'd think there would be some shadows cast onto the fog from the different elements in the scene.
I like the mood you're trying to set, a few tweaks would bring it over the top IMHO.
Good luck.

Thanks Ichappell. I re-did a bunch of things. Too much to type out but it is all written out in the first step of the SBS. TY for the suggestions. I didn't do any fog shadowing though.

Nice changes, especially those cables/ropes holding the balloons.

I really like the surreal dream like quality to this chop and I'm not so sure about shading because without it the end result is otherworldly. It is only an opinion on my part.

author says:

Image has been updated. the old version is in the SBS if you want to compare.

Play with the levels and curves maybe.

author says:

Thanks for your help with this. I didn't know what you specifically meant by "Play with the levels and curves", but I did darken the entire boat/sub some with Curves.
