Late to the thread here, but i am LOVING the amount of thought and ideation you're putting in. I do the same myself! The final composition is coming along very nicely! If you're looking for any sort of feedback, I'd say the main focal point (Nur) is being a bit lost with all the stuff behind him. That's my opinion at least, and it's nitpicky because I love what you have going on. :smile:

ayy. thanks @pencilequipped ! ill keep that in mind fosho! <3

also, i finally just crunched down my image and went berzerk on it. xD i was feeling pressed for time, because i have newyears/bday plans, so i just went nuts on this thing... then after the workday, i found out that the deadline was extended. lol. xD

This is looking so awesome!! I love the composition!

hahah I feel the same way, it's odd to have the opportunity to go back and make changes now the deadline is extended :stuck_out_tongue: I think I'm gonna stick with what I've got though; I'm gonna try my best to make an entry for the Artstation Nasa thingy and I know they aint gonna be extending :stuck_out_tongue:

looking awesome btw, red sky really sets the mood and the bright light of his shield does a great job of telling you what to look at.

awesome work and i like it composition

Looking really great and I do love the perspective work if I didn't say that before.

One thing that stands out in the current image is that the car does not really look like its interacting with the shield yet. Apologies if you just aren't there yet, but perhaps having the tire leave a golden interaction stream along where it is ramping off into the air along the shield.

Its looking really good, love the new layout.


oh wow! its been forever since ive posted! i got caught by holiday plans but im still workin on the piece while i can. hehe.
@sanguine @petrovod thanks guys! i appreciate the kind words. <3
@tck thanks buddy. still arriving at the right hues, but yeah. the separation helps a lot. :smiley: also, ill keep an eye out for your nasa entry! gotta support the homies! :smiley:
@PeterH thanks peter. still working on it, but ive been putting that off, since the intersection is a rough thing to design. xD the bright line is gonna mess up my silhouette, so i have no idea how im gonna pull it off when i get around to it. send me your energy! \o/ haha

also, it looks like everyone is uploading images to the site and its changing the dimensions of the image. does anyone know if this will disqualify me from the contest? should i let it be, or should i figure out how to get the site to upload the proper image dimensions?

If you look at the brief requirements it has specific pixel dimensions for your character sheet, but the illustration it seems has no limits. There is some advice on maximum limits in the faq bit, but it's very vague.

right. my images are 2048x2048 and 3426x2048 respectively, but the site uploads them to the forums at 1638x1638 and 1806x1048 respectively. i have no idea why.

thanks! ill do that fosho. :smiley:

Hi! The forums has a size limit of 3MB for the pictures that you upload. So if your pictures are larger than that they will be resized to a smaller size. When saving them try compressing them more so that they both are smaller than 3MB.

sweet! thank you! will resize tonight then. <3

Nur
Before the war (the Artwar) Nur coincidentally paired with a symbiotic AI. the AI needs a human brain to survive since the human brain possesses the computing power for it to remain conscious. nanotechnology just isn't where it needs to be for the AI to exist autonomously. it jumped from host to host, using a combination of the previous (dead) hosts brain matter and convenient mechanical scraps to subsist autonomously for a short while. Then, it met Nur, the perfect companion. The transition was difficult, to say the least, but after only a month, integration was haphazardly achieved.
Through a combination of mechanical, digital, and organic means, the advanced AI allowed Nur to access and control the deepest recesses of his mind and spirit. as Nur dived deeper, with the aid of the AI, he found something unexpected. Deep within his subconscious, he found a link to his spirit, and within his spirit, he inexplicably found a connection with everything around him. At the time, this was considered an anomaly by the AI, since the AI did not experience this with any of its previous hosts, but then again, it didn't spend as much time with them. There was much discussion about the topic.

Eventually, the AI conceded to Nur and actually found the anomaly intriguing. The cooperation between Nur and the AI allowed them to pursue the matter further. With the logic of the AI and the perseverance of Nur, they were able to dive deeper than ever before, into the inner machinations of the spirit of Nur. Through this endeavor, Nur developed psychic powers; telekinesis being one of them. More importantly, and most curiously, they both came to believe in god, stating "I have explored every corner of my inner being. I understand most of it. However, it's funny. Even with all the answers, we have come to the conclusion that, and I quote, 'rationality does not always end with an understanding of the problem.' The deeper we went, we only found more questions. We were left with no choice but to embrace my spirit and all of its mysteries. And when we did, completely... I heard something that shook me to the core. I felt what could only be described as a whisper from all around me. Stranger still...The AI felt it too."

Nice to see you get rid off that guy...for legibility this is for sure really better !
And all the sparks are pushing further your piece ^^ (I really enjoy the rocks levitating, perhaps you could add some more (to left/right, smaller and bigger) ?).

Anyways really great final piece !
