Hey! Thank you for your feedback, I will explore more about the ship silhouette. Your concepts sheets are fantastic btw!

More ideas about the ships. Some have flora and fauna, some are condensed with buildings/condominium with some parks around it and some are temples.

Here is the mothership, before and after. The terrain was bended from the mountain and the ships were molded from it. I am not sure if I am going to show the mothership in final work but here it is to give some sence of scale and backstory even when it feels unrealistic but hey, its fantasy haha.
Now I am going to explore with some colored sketches the day life of living in these ambulant ships.

Time's running out so I am jumping right to the rough thumbnails. Still deciding which one should I pick.

Very interesting thumbnails, each with its own merit, it's so hard to choose >.<
I think 4, 7 and perhaps 8 are weaker in terms of showcasing the whole 'new on old' theme which in this case is the ruins on the ships.

1, 3, 5 I think have the most potential to show what you want to show, though they are more standard in terms of composition (which is not a bad thing to be honest).

I'd say go for a mix of 1 and 5, but that's just my opinion. If you feel stronger about something else, go for it. Cheers!

You've got a great selection of thumbnails here @carolinaoliveira I agree with @thakis in terms of some shots not being as strong to showcase the building a new civilisation on top of an old one.

In terms of composition alone, i like 4, 5 and and 8 a lot. I think what you can do is show some of the civilisation in the foreground more, such as what you did with 5 and 7, and have the epic scale of the giant floating structures in the background, as you do with 4, let's say.

I did a quick paintover just to show my thoughts. I'm loving the designs so far, and i'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Thank you @jtuffdesigns for the feedback I appreciate it a lot. Your idea is fantastic however I am afraid that the focal point might be on the character that is arriving in the ambulant "pantheon" rather the ships which is my intend to give great focus. I will work on a new thumbnail! By the way the old civilization in my entry is the earth and the new civilization is living literally above of it, so as long as I am showing clouds and ocean I think it's fine.
Thank you once again!

carolinaoliveira 2017-10-08 12:48:08 UTC #12

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will work on more thumbnails.

thakis 2017-10-08 13:45:39 UTC #13

Hmm, for some reason I thought the old world was the buildings on top of the ships, since there is little to no earth in several of your thumbnails. Make sure to show both in a way and focus more on what you feel is best.

carolinaoliveira 2017-10-09 13:05:47 UTC #14

So here's a thumbnail that I like its a combination of two other thumbnails I did plus feedback I got. Its a lot more dynamic so its going to be very tricky to get the light right and on top of that the mood is going to be sundown so its going to be a real challenge!

jtuffdesigns 2017-10-09 18:10:02 UTC #15

i think that looks much better! Really epic sense of scale. Looking forward to seeing it in color!

impaga 2017-10-11 18:29:33 UTC #16

Interesting

carolinaoliveira 2017-10-15 11:04:07 UTC #17

Process so far! Used 3D and matte painting to guide me better with lighting and foliage. I still need to add characters. Having a lot of fun mixing media. I hope I finish this in time.

jtuffdesigns 2017-10-15 14:15:12 UTC #18

Looks really cool so far Perhaps vary the heights of the objects in the foreground to create more parallax. it's seems a bit too convenient things are showing a perfect glimpse at the midground.

thakis 2017-10-15 18:02:12 UTC #19

Very nice so far, I can't wait to see it finished! I agree with the above statement, perhaps you can add some slight curve to the foreground to add some extra interest to the composition, but that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, good job, keep it up!

Concept Sheet:

Final Illustration:
Managed to finish this! I wanted to create a serene environment. Ships moving very slowly like the clouds. Two characters having a stroll and looking at the old world ( Earth ) and the new (Ambulant ships). When I struggling with the composition I left a lot of ideas out of the final piece otherwise it would be too crowded.
There are so many good entries, I wish everyone good luck!

Thanks @jtuffdesigns and @thakis for the amazing feedback. Good luck you two!

The rules state your final and concept sheet should be in your topic's first post https://forums.cubebrush.co/t/worlds-submission-requirements-2d/3672
I don't know how picky they are being with that, but better safe than sorry right?

jtuffdesigns 2017-10-17 23:23:22 UTC #23

Great mood and sense of scale with the final piece @carolinaoliveira ! I wish you all the best with your entry

thakis 2017-10-18 08:26:48 UTC #24

Nice job! Turned out great! Good luck!
