Description
This is my first conceptual artwork and digital drawing of a building, so please be gentle.
This is a concept for a 3D building I'm planning to build in Cinema 4D as part of my ongoing Worlds of KotOR series, and it shows the skyline of the planet Taris.
I chose that planet because the form of the buildings is rather simple... or at least I hope so.
I know that there are hundreds of things so terribly wrong here, but I wanted to upload it nonetheless to show you what I'm up to right now, and why it can take me a little while to upload some real stuff to my gallery again.
Constructive feedback is always welcome!

These Tarisian skyscrapers are good enough to be in a comic as part of a background image even as they are, IMO. Pretty good for a first try!

I've always loved the buildings of Taris. The shapes are just beautiful, aren't they?
And these are just as good!

Looks great so far! The trick about big cityscapes is to just do ALOT of buildings. I quite like the shape of these ones though. It's been awhile since I've played KOTOR, but it's the same type of building shape you might find on Coruscant. I like it!

I tried to do something similar with Zbrush (I mean design my own 3D stuff) but failed terribly due to lack of free time. My best wishes for your success will always follow you.

Thanks, dear - glad you like it!

Very well done, to my mind. The surface looks properly smooth and glassy, and the small lights look very nice.

Thanks, dear - let's just hope they'll look good in 3D, too.

Very lovely 
I see now why you switched. Poser is so easy to get annoyed with, especially regarding elaborate scenes. And isn't it fun to experiment with new techniques and programs?
As always, good luck with your new artistic endeavors!

This is just a sketch for me - I'll build the whole skyline in C4D (or that's the plan
I'm working on my first digital painting right now, and that's pretty scary.
And Poser is awesome for character portraits and the like, but real scenes with lots of detail?

Hey, there is nothing wrong with multi-classing! (oh, dear, fantasy role-playing game reference
And if not, there are always those of us who are new to Poser (read: ME!

I really like the multiclassing idea - I wouldn't mind to become a Supermunchkin here.
It certainly helps that I have used CS3 for my postwork this past year... I don't want to know how that first image would have looked like if I hadn't.
If things go well it will be finished soon, and then I'd really appreciate some feedback!

Haha! If I could multiclass IRL, I would be like... an academian/shopaholic/coffee connoisseur/anglophone
I'm excited to see the final result. Having previous experience with digital painting is probably going to help you a lot

Well, I don't have much experiene with conceptual artwork and thus I don't know what to look for; but to me, this looks just fine. No need to be gentle here.

Thanks, hon - I'm working on my first real digital painting right now, and that's pretty scary.

Well, if I remember correctly, you once said that you would never dream of actually painting something.

And the result looks just like that, believe me.

Looks very cool, I'm interested to see what the final outcome will be of these.

Me too, me too!
They are all shiny metal and glowing lights in the game, so it will be interesting to get their textures right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It certainly will, not to mention a lot of work I think.
Maybe you should do a wip as you go along...?

To show off my epic fail later? Why not.

lol
Somehow I don't think it will be an epic fail at all. Unless your colour them purple that is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What's wrong with purple? I like purple!

Nuthin. I just always thought purple was "the" epic colour.

Thanks - that's very kind.
The perspective is not quite right in some places, but it was my first try.
