DΒ³SCR!PTION

Micael New woke up at 7 o'clock on this morning, alarmed by the radio. Planetary control was requesting report. Micael stumbled into the cockpit cursing himself for not being awake to receive the call. His career as freighter pilot made him a bit lazy and he blamed the rotten jump control console for not waking him up when they entered normal space. When he reached the cockpit he saw that wonderful, window-filling orange glowing planet in front of his ship. The sun just came up on the horizon. Holding one hand in front of the eyes so as to not get blinded he reached for the console to activate the windows uv filter. After giving report to the planetary orbit security he activated auto-pilot to enter the line of ships that were waiting for permission to land. Micael got up from his seat and back into the personal cabin to wake up his wife and daughter. He was very excited and gave a kiss to his wife and daughter and told them that they finally arrived. His wife gave him a warm smile as he headed back into the cockpit to watch the landing procedure and to handle incoming requests. Without interruptions the auto-pilot moved the ship into the atmosphere of the planet. Micael took the ship intern communicator to tell his wife and daughter that they entered the atmosphere now - "please come up here, this is a view you have never seen before" he said. As they were entering the ports authority zone micael began to smile as he first looked over that grand view and then into the stunned faces of the rest of the family. "Welcome to port hope on planet myrana calida... myrana calina... our new home".

TECHN!CAL DETA!LS

first of all thanks to =Cocktales - that texture works wonderful!

the creation of this piece went a little different direction than the usual ways i create my stuff with. a few weeks ago i got myself a gfxtablet and took this piece as a chance to make myself familiar with digital paintings. some elements in this one are painted and combined with my manip techniques. i can say i learned a lot by creating this piece. the work with a pen made it much much easier to work out the building textures or to add freighter and fighters. the part i'm most proud of is the dock in that wall. it's perfectly the direction i want to go with my technique. a mix of manipulations and paintings. that's all i can say. this piece was a lot of work and i hope you can enjoy viewing it as much as i enjoyed creating it.

One of your best pieces for sure. You really have amazed everyone. The attention to detail is stunning and you can tell a lot of work has being put into this. If this doesn't get daily deviatation I don't know what will!

I think that the curve on the right is a tad distracting.

demondeath1 In reply to ??? [2005-09-30 01:22:15 +0000 UTC]

is the sun slightly, erm, oblong? or is it twisted/warped by the place's atmosphere?

I do like the little, port hope thing... really nice.

The planet is beautiful, but i kept feeling the place is some desolate outpost. so much for port hope, huh... hoping to get out, more like it.

i've came and saw your art around the first time i came to DA. i love this one detail on the buildings are as sweet as sugar. but the only problem i got is the pixelation on the right side. if thats how you intended it to be then it's by any standards cool.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

tigaer In reply to ILIKESURREAL [2005-09-30 00:53:49 +0000 UTC]

the pic is sharpened up a bit the pixelation may be a stupid side-effect. - thanks for your feedback.

tigaer In reply to oggyb [2005-09-30 17:36:52 +0000 UTC]

sharpened it up... may have caused that pixelation there... but hell, i've seen muuuch more worse pixelation. lol weird.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

oggyb In reply to tigaer [2005-09-30 22:27:31 +0000 UTC]

yeah.

I think it's a little obvious though, don't you think - if its unaoidable try mixing a sharpened and an unsharpened image, so you get sharpness where you need it, but then it's smooth on those diagonals!

tigaer In reply to oggyb [2005-10-04 14:44:44 +0000 UTC]

rofl shush... you have a 1600x1200 setup - you shouldnt see any pixelation!!!!!
