Description
My only peice for The Luminarium 's 6th exhibit originally given the theme "illuminate" but was really more of a freestyle thing. I would loved to have made more but was busy during most of that time, and had no idea the closing date would be delayed by a few weeks eitherI sought inspiration from my favourite game - Super Smash Bros Brawl for this idea, anyone who has played it would surely be familiar with the ever-changing space scenery on the "Final Destination" stage and choosing just one of the backgrounds was hard (since that golden sea part is cool too
I started with two basic Vue scenes, rendered above a dense layer of clouds. But realistic as they were - they were rather boring so a lot of Digital painting was involved and I don't think there's much un-painted render left

Lol, thanks.Technically its just the sky so there wasn't much issue with proportions here anyway, if I included characters there might have be lol Glad you liked it

Everyone has to start somewhere. The really awful stuff I did in my first years fortunately never made it to dA since I didn't know this place existed then

This was mostly just done in Photoshop, I used one other program I could have lived without but I chose it anyway since it was more fun that way
I used Paint Shop Pro 6 from 2000 all the way up to 2006, I had no idea there was a serious market for digital art until then so I didn't mind creating my amateurish stuff on the same old program for half a decade Photoshop I got in 2006 - it felt weird after all those years without it but now I never look back

Depends greatly on the version you choose. I was lucky that I knew someone who already had the whole box-set and so they installed it on mine. Though I've had to fork out hundreds for other software though, hundreds more for a good tablet too

Wow that's really good and original!
Yes, I played that game and Final Destination was my favorite "battleground" lol and I always used pikachu ^.^
I thought the golden sea was super cool too!

Chromattix In reply to AdrienCGD [2010-02-20 03:09:36 +0000 UTC]
Thankyou! yes for a very flat stage it seems to still be the most popular choice, usually when my brother and I fight each other we always do our last match on Final Destination, with 99 lives each but on sudden death...the battles average around 25 minutes
I like the Golden sea bit too, if I ever do another it'll be that, in Melee I also liked the double-horizon bit in that Final Destination too

AdrienCGD In reply to Chromattix [2010-02-20 23:00:58 +0000 UTC]
Yeah it is the most popular choice.
And it's pretty easy.
But I like the lava stage more since it has some challenges but it's not too hard ^.^
You can put it up to 99 lives?
I thought it was only maximum 10? lol That's crazy XD
Wow that's a long time!
Hehe good luck with that golden sea! It looked soo cool ^.^
Btw, doesn't your eyes hurt after playing an hour of super mario? XD

Chromattix In reply to AdrienCGD [2010-02-21 00:05:08 +0000 UTC]
Oh yes, lives can be put right up to 99 but I'd only recommend that for Sudden Death matches, in normal brawls you would be stuck playing the same match all day!
Hmm, when I was a teenager and still in high school I used to play games for like...5 hours a day sometimes, it would be the first thing I did after coming from from school (unless I had homework ) these days I play much less so I don't get eye problems

AdrienCGD In reply to Chromattix [2010-02-21 21:47:19 +0000 UTC]
Haha that's crazy!
I'm sure 99 lives can take super long if you don't do it in sudden death XD
I remember how it took 45 minutes for a 4 players (my and my friends) and we put 10 lives for each...
It just took forever lol
I ended up 2nd though which isn't bad since I never played that game before and they were really good at it.
Good thing you don't play it as much because like I told you, my eyes would be burning after playing for about an hour! lol
