Heaven's Night - WIP

Heaven’s Night is the name of a club from Silent Hill 2. I wanted to play around with neon and decided to do another SH tribute while I was at it. The images are listed from lightest to darkest, but you can vote them however you’d like…

#1 first try

I learned that I can make an object look like glass or look like it is glowing, but not both...

Once I saw this, I instantly thought of a strip club

  You’ve got a good eye- it was a strip club in the game…

      I might do a piece with Maria, but there is a limit to how stripper themed I can get here…

It has a wonderful effect in pink

  Pink is warm so it seems to glow brighter. That purple is cooler and had to have different settings than pink did…

#2 second try

I cheated to indicate a glass texture, but it wasn't all that successful...

The impression that you mean already have present a little there…

  I could also just render a glass version and a glow version, then composite them but that’s cheating…

    Then what should you do to make your art work according to your inspiration and intent?

        It is good to have various alternative ways

this one has a fair amount of postwork, I may have taken things too far again...

Wonderful work … I can not decide for one … I love pink and violet color

Alex Ledante says:

January 15, 2019 at 3:06 am

it is a compelling color scheme, probably not one I’d pick, but it works…

I can not say just one result. All three are impressive.

Alex Ledante says:

January 14, 2019 at 1:40 am

I am still experimenting, but I am glad you like the results so far…
Alex Ledante says:

January 14, 2019 at 2:57 am

how kind of you to say…

Neon must be very intense and fun to work with.

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:14 am

I will let you know when I’ve figured it out

Its looks good but still doesn’t feels too neon…
or maybe I haven’t been seeing enough neon lights :p

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:11 am

there’s the dim kind and the bright kind…

Number 3 is awesome. I love the glow!

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:15 am

obviously the glow becomes more prominent in a darker setting…

1

This is a study that arouses my sense of attraction too.

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:16 am

I might do the bar and have the sign in the background…

good work … you always put me in a dilemma which is more beautiful … I have to disappoint you … they are all beautiful, so I will not decide for any my friend

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:17 am

If you’re happy with everything then you have nothing to worry about. Unlike me…

Looks like I may need you to work on some images for my latest concept. When you see my next publish then you will know. It’s still pending.

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:18 am

I look forward to it, just let me know…

Well done bro, you always amaze us all.

Alex Ledante says:

January 13, 2019 at 1:24 am

if I put the sign in the background and out of focus, nobody can tell if there isn’t any glass…
