Artist's Comments

I was getting sick of being stuck on one piece, so I decided to play a round a bit, and here is the result. It goes back to my layer-abuse roots, and (hopefully) creates a nice eerie atmosphere. *I wish DA had a spell checker...*

As usual, made with 3Ds Max 6 and Photoshop 7. I used some of my existing renders, which took about 30 hours to make, and the void itself took about 5 crazy nonstop hours to make.


Update: The left of the wall had too low saturation (which bugged me as soon as I saw it), so I fixed that. I Improved the fonts, increased both darkness and contrast (very slightly), and gave the darkness a very mild absorbing light effect. I like it alot more now, and I didn't change it that much.

If anything's 'wrong' with it, I'd say it's that the center is a bit -too- busy and needs some larger shapes to give the eye a rest- on the other hand, A) the center looks like a skull-reaper-thing from a distance, and B) the edges have lots of negative space, so, when you zoom out, that helps balance the craziness of the center. On the other hand, the shape of the center, when you back up a bit, has such a creepy look....man, I love it. I want it on a t-shirt or something.
Also a bit dark, maybe, although that's part of the atmosphere of the piece.

Wallpaper'd (again)!

hehe....the void...lol...

thats what my area with my comps and consoles and turntables is called lmfao. The Void.

not bad but it is too busy. maybe no so chaotic everywhere. sumthing simple with simple PS work.

layer abuse.... how many layers do you use before it starts getting abused? mine is 20 cause all my great pieces are around 15...

It took about maybe 30 layers. I'm not sure, I tend not to keep track :D. And "layer abuse" is the usage of layer after layer after layer to create a specific look. Layers such as tech and brushwork don't count; it's more of a render thing.

Yep, it's busy. I wanted it to be busy and chaotic. The choatic nature combined with the colors reinforces the "dark" aspects of the image. Helps to give it the dark feel I was after.

My only problem with this piece is that I was able to find any way to put some nice PS brushing into it. I guess it's for the best.

:iconmajoroesch:
I updated it. Just some small refining work. Compare the two and see what you think.

Yeah, I like it better now. The little bit you did helped it pop a little more, and the text matches the picture better.
*thumps up*
