For the cutscene challenge again!  I wanted to do something with full colour and somehow I ended up doing a basically monochromatic scene anyway.  12 colours this time.
The scene is from the movie Alien (1979).  Not a very iconic scene from the movie, but I found the planet's surface, which is only briefly visited, to be awesome.

It's amazing how smooth this is. I can't begin to understand how you accomplished that.

I can say only WOW! Really great work.

Equilibrix (Level 5 Captain) at 1/26/2008 12:15:42 AM
This is splendid! You captured the atmosphere from the reference picture very well, I even like it more than the ref! And Alien is indeed a cult movie! Looking forward to seeing you in hall of fame and in my favorites!

flaber (Level 1 Seaman) at 1/25/2008 11:41:00 PM
That is a gorgeous sky.
I feel I can learn from you, and this piece for a new texture. Im always looking, and you have really captured something new and intrigueing.

the cliffs could use a few harsher shadows thrown about it, comparing to the reference... not a fan of the 50% dither on the stones/cliffs. Looking at the sky, Im sure you could have developed a much stronger and effective texture for the rocks.

Great sky again.
I plan to reference this when looking for a new intrigguing texture

AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/25/2008 10:31:47 PM

The sky is EPIC! 

I wish you would change the preview because I almost didn't open it. 


funcravers (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 1/25/2008 10:13:45 PM
fourth that. lol. Weekly showcase, possibly hall of fame?

DeProgrammer (Level 5 Soldier) at 1/25/2008 9:39:05 PM
I also second that motion! Or do I third it? Either way, excellent work.

greenraven (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 1/25/2008 9:24:12 PM
