Loved!! all of it, maybe just to say something, i try to fix a little the ilumination on the face and hand, is like to straight, dont know how to say it XD.

Amazing work!! For me, second example without a doubt.

Cheers!

Excellent work. I like both versions. I think the lighting is off on the woman in both examples. I fear she would be more of a back-lit silhouette than anything unless you move her out into the lit areas.

 

[Eggy]

I see your point Sam.
I am going to move her a bit closer to the lit rock edge.

A very beautiful creation Eggy, with excellent lighting and depth. Love the first one with the subdued colors.
I also agree with Sam to move the woman into the light.

Very nice , try using apply image when doing some of the lighting, works wonders.

 

[gedstar]

Very nicely done Eggy, beautiful creation I agree with the others about moving the woman!

 

[Eggy]

Thank you all for the comments.
I'll do some changes on this one and be back with an update.

A variation where I got rid of the woman and incorporated sci fi 3D obj




Watch the hot air exhaust. I borrowed the technique from Scott Robertson https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJhSmz4zo9t-Z2GdHECW7A

I like it and it blend well, but for me the woman as image, had more impact visualy speaking. hope is understandable XD.

Cheers!

 

[Eggy]

Thanks. I do understand but I needed a new view on this one.

 

[gedstar]

Nicely redone Eggy

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Ged.

The image with the woman certainly had more of an artistic statement, but I don't think it detracts from the newer one. Being a hardcore Sci Fi fan, I really like the new take. Very well done and I really like the exhaust effect!

 

[Eggy]

I'm am too Sam and actually I intented to make it in that way. The only reason I didn't do it at first was the rendering time but I've found a way to shorten that time by selecting only the 3D objects.
And of course it is 'New' Eden.

 

[chrisdesign]

The new version is definitely more Sci Fi orientated, and it has a bigger impact on me. Nicely done detail with the exhaust.
It's completely different to the first versions, and I can't and won't compare them against each other.
Both are really great composites.

 

[Pearlie]

Very nice work, I like both versions. Comparing the two bottom comps, the one on the right is almost too saturated, while the left could be more so - somewhere in the middle might be worth a try.
But I love scifi, too, so that second one is very cool - however did not see any exhaust, the video links to a page with lots of cool eye candy... may have to check some of those out, but in the meantime, is there a direct link to a video of exhaust coming from the 'craft'?

 

[Eggy]

Thanks chrisdesign and Pearlie for the comments.
I'll try to find back the clip on the achievement of the hot air coming from the engine.

Here's the tut on the 'heat warp effect':
