space junk - WIP

So we decided that Alita’s background didn’t get the job done, it was far too contemporary. What the piece needed was some good old fashioned space junk from the future! See what I did there?

#1 alternate design

just an old design I stumbled across whilst looking for something else

backlighting was a good choice there

So true, very beautiful person in her own right even though she is deadly

still, I will be piling more junk ontop of them- this is how a junkyard works, no?

Love the all black and the layers you keep adding.

  some artists try to do everything at once, but I prefer an iterative approach for many reasons

don’t worry, I fixed that already…

  I also changed her arms to white plastic, but you haven’t seen those yet…

Not your fault but sometimes I don’t always get the images straight away here. I like the first one. I can’t get the 2nd image

    Thanks Alex, I did not refresh the browser, tried that and it did not work. Closed safari and reopened and re entered Virily again now I see her now, she looks great to me

      I wonder why a refresh didn’t work? Sorry you had to put so much effort into this…

Nice post Alex, you do good art work

thank you for saying so…

what was I thinking with the cars?

Alex Ledante says:

March 8, 2019 at 4:11 am

the first junkyard was all wrecked cars

The first one is darker, the second one seems to have more details.

Like them both pal.

still early enough in the process where I can expect to take the best from both versions

  I’ve noticed the path to done 🙂 I just know that level of talent lies well beyond any dreams I have.

    I think surfacing models and such would be quite accessible to you. The posing and lighting might give you problems…

now she gets the leathery metalic color kinda suit … cool!!

Alex Ledante says:

March 3, 2019 at 4:21 am

I am unclear on the material of her suit

Excellent! It’s like seeing how all the changes that happened to Spiderman, Batman, Superman etc. More sophisticated from time to time, at least update with the times.

Evolution is a fun process, with many interesting dead ends

  In terms of the outfit, in what case does it have a dead end?

    the bodysuit she wears on the top isn’t the same one she wears on the bottom, and the textures are also different. two things that were selected against in favor of the current versions, which may themselves be selected against…

how nice of you to say

It continues to improve even when I thought it needed nothing more.
You are so good at what you do.
