So for a while something just felt wrong about this image and I didn't know where to take it. I wanted to be able to show the space ship in a way that was understandable but didn't clutter the image and I also spent a bit of time overthinking the alien and how to make it look right floating in space but it's alien... doesn't really matter. So right now i have it so the box I sketched is a star wars-esque docking bay like they have in the floor of some of the ships. The astronaut would be inside the ship and alien is pulling him out from underneath. I'm still not happy with the pose. You don't feel the struggle of him trying to escape yet but it's getting close I think. The one thing I'm still not sure about is what to do about lighting. Right now it feels too balanced so I was thinking i could maybe have the light from the interior of the ship or if I imagine the ship has been damaged by this creature attacking then the alien could be backlit by some distant planet/star and the ship interior would be quite dark.
(update: here's the new pose. I definitely like this more!)
Alien looks nice. I think I would go with a more obvious (in danger/struggling) posing for your character, instead of having his legs inside I would reverse him completely having him holding on to something (exactly where you have his waist right now) and make his whole body go towards the alien (so his feet we be near the center of the image). Try it roughly and post back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donald. Hopefully I can get it done by this weeks class
