Artist's Comments

Below the Asteroids Redux: Fool's Gold.

Quick exercise work to tighten up and revert back to my original intention for Below the Asteroids. Overall i'm pleased with the outcome, finding that the lighting is ultimately successful.

Resources from Hameed were again used here, including his asteroid field and I also dabbled with use of his space cloud resource: fantastic for adding those dust clouds.

(Whilst yes, some of the asteroids' lighting is off due to the original rendering of them, i'm happy enough with the feel of the work to overlook that.)

Hope this proves helpful to someone. ;)

Only constructive criticism I can give is that the asteroids lack texture. Perhap they were meant to look that way. Other than that, it's quite beautiful.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to further play with asteroids, to see if i can unlock some extra uses to their usual implementation. Once I get to grips with 3D i'll be giving it a go.

If it helps, I mean, compositionally this is good for Asteroids because it works. It clicks. It's more of a finer detail and a question of rigorous refinement. I think the way it's presented shows that there's a certain competence with their usage as an element of the overall design. It's good.

Great collision-zone. The flare coming from it is fairly simple, yet realistic. No overly dramatic blasts here. And I agree the lighting is a real winner here, as is the nebula :clap:

Went she bent over, Rover took over and gave her a bone of his own.

very interesting compositon. the top asteroids look a little flat to me due to the lighting.

love those "nasa photos of nebulas" look alike colors.

Ye it would be nice, but the asteroid lighting is a bit off, and I can't say I really enjoy their gold/green tinged colouration. Backdrop and lights are rather nice though.
