sword brethren Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 if you'd take the original BFG scale (ie a battle barge) you would have to make this thing pretty damn big :)(maybe you could have the top floating over half your table? :rolleyes: ) it wouldnt have to be the top as its space, there is no right way up! they could be battleing across the side, that would be cool Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2187773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innus Bade 9 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I will be watching this "MASTERPIECE" develop. Looks outstanding and I loved the two thunderhawks versus the battlebarge. The scale is very appropriate if you think how it is the DA's Home away from home.

kraegus Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm loving the progress on this thing. What programs/tools are you using to make this? photoshop CS, my mouse, and a bunch of crazy half formed ideas floating around my brain It's not all hangar after all. Most of it is prisons after all ^^ you guys have it all wrong, the inside is entirely hollow and it's a giant playpen filled with miulticoloured balls. All of a sudden the grim dark future ain't so grim and dark now is it. :rolleyes: Instant win that would be. Someone made spoof stats for a battlebarge...I don't even want to think what The Rock will have... I believe that the Imperial Fists also are fleet based? Someone comfirm that? And I must say I'm impressed by a lot here. The scale, the vision the sheer ambition and of course the execution. Wow! thanks ;) the sheer monstrous scale of my over-ambition has yet to hit me. ;) it wouldnt have to be the top as its space, there is no right way up! they could be battleing across the side, that would be cool awesome idea :) I look forward to seeing a paper-mache version :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2187806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 only comment so far is that the night sky is too vivid and may detract attention from the finished peice although the nightscape is really convincng for a painted peice it looks really cool i think that using photoshop to create the stars would be better if you want any inspiration on photoshop stuff in space check this guy out he's ausome if you click on the top half of the page, then go to bio and writings there are a few tutorials there he has done some more though so just type greg martin tutorials onto google i think the thunderhawks look better too gives much more awe to the scene basically I LOVE IT and have no idea how i missed this thread Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2188292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AM using photoshop, exclusively. (thanks for the website btw, awesome stuff) and a quick update: not too much more progress, just been playing with shadow, trying to hash out these peripheral asteroids, that will be connected using space bridges. slow progress, it's taking me a while to get the look I want. just sorta... stand back a little bit, and pretend you can see the detail :) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/4114742130_4e08892f23_o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2188365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oooh, shiny ^^ Right now, the lower hangars look more like flat screens. Maybe you'll have to put some faint outlines of hangar walls there.

Deathwing70 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i like the current background actually, I think it fits the atmosphere and other colors better than a more realistic (dull?) night sky would. Btw have you made any progress? :D I'm waiting for my new wallpaper...

kraegus Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 hahaha a few days break to work on my golden bolter plans so I could hit it with a fresh perspective. i'll be back on this fairly soon :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2191297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireLizard Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 yep, I gotta admit, I prefer the current backdrop myself... gives you the impression it's traveling past some kind of gaseous anomaly in space, or a galaxy or something... LOVING this so far! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184867-sketching-the-rock/page/3/#findComment-2191319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
