Description
Finally! a rought Zion's dock was done, still tuning up the lighting, i'm still not happy with the blue light from the tower, need to fine tune the tower more, and more details need to be added on the gate, so far i already have a rought idea how the whole finished art work look like.Related content

Hooooooly shit! And I mean, HOLY!
That is just one layout that need no intro. That's insane. I swear the detail of that background just puts you into the realm of "highly profesisonal"!
I swear, that image is videogame/animaiton/live aciton worthy! By god it's true!

'highly professional' i'm still far from that, to the pros, i'm only a kid among them. i feel so small

You are NOT small. You are HUGE!
THe prob with "profeesionals" is that they are full of hot air! You are soaring amungst them for sure!

Whoa, dude, how long did it take you to paint all of that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm a bit surprised that it took me 5 days to paint the tower, and 5 days to paint the overoll BG, 2-4 hours a day is the amount of time i work on it(hey i have to work)

I think the right gate things light should be on the other side. I say this because of the light refrencing taken from the pillar block at the top right. You know those round things that are probably to lower and raise the gate. The floor seems a bit plain for some reason too. Perhaps adding some scratches or objects will make it less plain. The metal rust looks great though.
Besides that I think this is a fantastic job. Very nice detail especially seeming its not finished.

i don't really mind that the floor is empty becuase i will be putting on three APU and some dead sentinels on the floor platform. thanks again, i 'll work on the lighting.

don't to put a good load of bullet cases too...
bte there's another thing I think you should look at... know the three metal structures that look like ladders in the wall? well the mid one looks right but the left one seems a bit out of perspective... doesnt seem to follow the lines of the other 2 and the right one doesnt look connected enough to the wall... put more rust in the right side I think
btw, nice texture work, you mix textures a lot?

thanks for the input, but i'm not really worry about that because once i put on the APU and sentinels it will all be covered up. i'll sent a note to u when i got it done, so that u can pose it on mecha site

Ah I thought so but wasn't too sure of the details so. Yeh that sounds great. It'll look totally awsome when its finished. Totally goin in my awsome folder on my pc. Oh and happy to help on the odd occasions that I actually can ^^

Simply amazing!!
Stunning even! I want the full res pic when you're done!!! XD I'll put it on my desktop ^^
I can't say much of constructive qritique, but it looks too blurred, though that's probably because of the image compression ^^'
BTW: I tired some digital painting, inspired a bit by your work on the APU, would you mind noting me about what tools you're using?

i normally use dry brush and airbrush, u can see the photoshop interface on my 'APU work in progress' good luck on your painting
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The whole image is astounding though. Its hard to imagine that this was done through painting and air-brushing.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the lighting though... but then again, what'd I know right? =3
Keep up the most excellent hard work! Can't wait to see the end result!
*gives ya a pat on the shoulder*

the lighting is very much still on the testing stage, i need stronger contrast lighting like those they use for american comic
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not into the colouring or the contrasting stylization they use in American comics. They're too shiney IMO
But then again, its a style that you'tr trying to achieve here, so go for it dude! =3
