So, this is my contribution to my first activity here on pixeljoint. Hope you like it. Spent way too much time on it as usual. Actually did three versions, more or less finished.

First, no more than a sketch : http://www.emanu.se/lightningtower1copy.gif

Second, almost finished:

When I had nearly finished the second one I saw ilkkes contribution and realized I had to up my efforts a bit and create a more dynamic image, so here we go with my final contribution. Thanks ilkke for pushing me that extra distance!

Woooaaa! Nice! Nice! nice! The colors of the bright of the explosion is awesome.

Shrub (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/22/2008 11:29:40 AM
I love the way the blue light is reflected in the smoke, if you know what I mean.
And the tower is nicely done, too.
Respect.

countach (Level 2 Petty Officer) at 1/9/2008 1:51:37 PM
Love the blue light under the zeppeing

Nakugetsu (Level 1 Rookie) at 12/14/2007 7:45:00 PM

Wow!

Love the colors... the contrast is striking, no pun intended.

wow, very very nice man

Huggkruka (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/5/2007 6:21:52 PM
That is the coolest zeppelin I have ever seen. The lightning/lighting is awesome.

chinecafon (Level 1 Thug) at 6/14/2007 3:10:06 PM
A-w-e-s-o-m-e-n-e-s-s!
Fav'd.

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 3/23/2007 2:37:42 AM
not so far fetched is it... theres only so many variations on "tower being struck by lightning" ... ;)

AwesomePossum (Level 1 Thug) at 3/22/2007 9:47:47 PM
For some reason this reminds me of Ikkes stone tower. And I like this one more for some strange  sensation.

df0 (Level 3 Enforcer) at 3/22/2007 7:07:38 AM
This piece is stunning.. the design of things is superb and the colors are great together. Atmospheric and inspiring.

ooshmaster (Level 5 Soldier) at 3/20/2007 12:32:14 PM
Congrats on your win! You deserve it!

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) at 3/20/2007 1:19:24 AM
Tesla reference = 10 bonus points.

The actual work, brilliant.  Fav'd.

Microradiation (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/18/2007 12:03:33 AM
SEX...EE
I friggin' love the lighting and explosion.
I would opt for more contrast and imperfections (I can't think of the word... like cracks, ya know) in the tower. But cracks aside,
SWWWEEEEEEEEET.
The Tesla reference gives you extra bonus points :)

I Am Uh (Level 2 Dealer) at 3/17/2007 8:07:27 AM
I personaly think its incredible.

-DE- (Level 8 Marshal) at 3/17/2007 1:56:14 AM
Brilliant!      

ceddo (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 3/15/2007 2:01:17 PM
My god. These new weekly challenges just make me feel just how bad I actually am. :)

Forge (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/15/2007 1:41:25 PM
Wow. That truly is impressive. Don't know what it is, but I've seen a few pieces today that just scream 'Make a game out of me!"  This would be fun...Zepplins blowin up towers.

vanSchmidt (Level 1 Intern) at 3/15/2007 8:34:17 AM
And, someones got huge talent.

mar4000 (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/15/2007 3:33:16 AM
Wow! great and looks awesome as well! Love the lighting

sausage (Level 5 Sniper) at 3/15/2007 12:47:58 AM

5/5


Gas 13 (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 3/13/2007 9:46:00 AM
Great eyecatching scene. And it was nice to see how the work was in development. My vote.

exocet (Level 5 Captain) at 3/13/2007 6:03:35 AM
Great job, really atmospheric thanks to the colours, yet dynamic at the same time! You did a really good job on the zeppelin, I especially like its lighting.

apanserdig (Level 2 Quiet One) at 3/12/2007 3:10:28 PM

If i could add something to the ongoing discussion when it comes to depth of view and lighting and such: in this case it's really more about a choice of style. To me the picture is obviously somewhat cartoony/arcady and is not aimed towards realism. In a picture like this you don't have to follow the laws of physics if you don't feel it helps the overall expression. Also, keep in mind the restricted palette of 15 colors, which would lead to some simplification when it comes to atmospheric lightning and depth.


Fool (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/12/2007 3:08:09 PM
Great scene indeed.=)

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 3/12/2007 2:18:10 PM
yeah, and you had some good points, they are considered, and I would atleast incorporate one of them if I were to work on it any further. Just consider my point about communicating on the internet (home of misunderstanding), thats all. I really like your contribution to the lightningtowerthing, by the way.

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/12/2007 1:49:24 PM
Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh I only tried to help, present my view. It is up to you to accept it or not. I am not the best communicator, I know, but thats how I usually react on things... Right now the zeppelin and explosion seem to be on the same level, there is no depth, if you want to summarize it up. All the best!

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 3/12/2007 1:30:50 PM
edit: nevermind. wrote a long comment to reply to inkspots rather harsh critisism, but it doesnt matter. I read your points, but they are really rather subjective and you come across as really patronizing. Do consider how you present yourself when commenting pieces please, the "im going to teach you about art" could be considered rather...von oben.

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 3/12/2007 1:00:56 PM

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/12/2007 12:36:03 PM
I like the zeppeline, but the tower could use some more touch ups, like the spreading light from the tesla ray. Light really spreads everywhere, so why are the tower walls so dull? The explosion could also use some more contrast as I understand it is meant to be the focal point. And the zeppelin should be darker from the top and back, as there is not much light coming... Also remember, art is not only the colours or lines, it is also about composition, it is even the most important thing! Great work though!

Perciv@l (Level 4 Murderer) at 3/12/2007 12:15:28 PM
The best entry so far, great work! I only think that if you put just a black silhouette of the back zeppelin you emphasize the blasting action on the front, giving more drama to this piece.

Again, very inspiring.

ptoing (Level 6 Made) at 3/12/2007 4:02:47 AM
Hahaha, this is awesome. :D

iLKke (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 3/12/2007 1:49:32 AM
Well, THANK YOU! :D
This is great work. Tesla would be proud.

drZool (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 3/12/2007 12:56:02 AM
Ooooo Metal sluggish, me like :) slightly too outlined for my taste, but still rocks!

This piece is KICKASS! Ot sprt of reminded me of Command and Conquer RA 2, Except the Zepplin's there aren't tesla weapons. That would be sweet though. Good job!

Mirre (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 3/11/2007 3:42:25 PM
