Description:

A creative piece I am working on for my final year. The aim of the coursework is to take an inspiration image and re-create it in the style of Tim Burton although it has to be recognisable as the original image.

 

Any crits/comments welcome. It's still in the modeling stage at the moment and will have a few changes made (grass is one).

 

All has to modelled by myself, no foliage plug-ins etc.

 

I will post the inspiration image below.

Hi

Very nice. Since you are still in model stage i suggest you take another turn on the (concrete?) and make those cracks/brownout part more realistic by adding some overall content with dirt and smaller cracks. i think its odd that there are these holes in a otherwise polished surface. However i don't know what type of texturing you have in mind, perhaps ill find the solution there!

Good luck!

It would only let me upload a lower-res jpeg. Oh well, a bit of quality lost but at least you can now see where the project went. It's now going to be animated although that won't be for a little while as I have other, more important, projects to continue with.

Really like the modelling on this. Could be a great image. At the moment though I think the lighting really lets it down.

Generally i'd look at highlights and shadows, creatingmore drama in the image.

Or moreover, think about the story the image is telling.

If the emphasis is the gates then look to draw these out somehow (moonlight?, an external light source of screen?).

Or is the emphasis on something down the tunnel, if so illuminate points along the tunnel to pull the viewer in, getting them to ask where they are going.

 

I'd begin by looking at a lot of stills from tim burton films and what he does with lighting.

 

Love to see the next render.

A very good looking image, well done. Though I fail to understand why the rods would bend if surrounding concrete falls off, especially since there's no secondary effect, like falling or dislodged chunk/s of neighboring blocks, that complements the first one. Just a curious little observation that is :).
