Help To Finish This!

[Eric Gerhard]

Hey Guys!

I wanna finish this, but I don't know how.

Give some advices! Please!

Thanks!

I'd start by sharpening the details, right now the focal point is all over the place.

The brush strokes around the building shapes seem to outline them and distract from the sky brush strokes that are more flowing. I'd work them out to make the piece pull together better.

The blue lighting for the propulsion (sp?) on the jet (or flying object if you perfer) really bothers me. It just screams for attention and ditracts way to much from the other duller colors. I'd suggest maybe darkening it, or making it more grayish blue? I don't know, something of that nature.

When it comes to painting I only go by what I see, I have very little experience in it. But I hope that helped. The concept is very sci fi and appealing. Like a book cover of sorts. :)

Serena - That's the sort of thing I was to do. I'll clean the whole thing and post it again. Thank you very much!

Alka - It's good to know someone who shares my disturbances :bashful:

hm. my brain is telling me that the physical structure of the ship/moving craft is twisted somehow - maybe fiddling with the perspective on the ship would help that out? or creating more balance between the heavy-looking engine section and the lighter front section?

hm. that wasn't very helpful. maybe i need some critiques on my critiquing skills.....

Gotta fix the perspective on that ship. The front seems like it's twisting and looking back at the viewer. You also need more overlapping with the head of the ship and the dark shape/tower thing. The bottom line of the head of the ship is creating a tangent with the top line of the tower shape which flattens out the image. Bring that tower shape up more. Also I wouldn't put the edge of the ship so close to the border of the image area, (the left side).

Make a separate layer and create a perspective grid to use as guidelines, it will help you out greatly.

The ships proportion is wrong to me, and their seems to be 2 colors seperating the picture, that dark tan and the gray color just seem to keep the thing flowing
