Pretty good especially for only 45 minutes.

Thanks =^-^=

dis is so awesome!

Thank you :3

Even your speed works carry more emotion and life in them than most people's full renders.

Hah, thanks Iri. S'a lot of people I look up to though who are way better at this shit than me XD

Looks really good! :D

Thanks JM =^-^= didn't think this was to any of your interest

Space is always
And I still have high hopes to get you to draw something for me! :D

Gladly, as soon as my plate is a little less crammed with stuff I need to be doing ^^;

Nun es erweckt zu mindestens den Eindruck als währe in den Quartieren des Schiffs nicht genug Platz um alle Flüchtlinge unterzubringen. Diese sitzen nun in den Korridoren des Schiffs. Von daher macht es durchaus Sinn.

Njo, stimmt schon... in meiner Vorstellung war das ganze halt noch gedrungener, aber wer weiß, vielleicht wird das ja Teil einer Story und dann hab ich nochmal eine Chance ^^

Wow, 45 mins? Looking good there.
And i really like that you can see the planet out the window, it gives perspective

Thank you ^^ yeah, I like including planets as a backdrop for my pieces ... gives it all nice depth

I always imagined Si'itians as always being wealthy, or at least well to do for some reason, never imagined they would ever end up with refugees. As for there not being too many of them in this scene, you could assume that it's a part of the ship with limited power, and life support has been turned down making it much colder than the rest of the ship. As such, only those wanting some room to themselves would venture to this section, and risk the cold.

In general, si'itians are a post-scarcity society, but that doesn't mean they're entirely beyond catastrophies or influences of war. There is a planetary evactuation mechanism, but even with that in place, any conflict becomes a chaotic mess eventually and some people will fall through the cracks.

Your idea is valid though. I guess some people would venture to do that, but then I never put that much thought into it X3

I dunno what it is about corridors in a sort spaceship/station setting but .. they reaaally appeal to me.

Same goes for me :3

I think a partial blame goes to things like Titan AE aaaaand I played allot of the old dark-forces/mysteries of the sith games which.. seemed to feature space-ships and star-ports.

Yeah, Titan AE is a very underappreciated gem of a movie, though my real love for Sci-Fi stems from the original Star Wars movies and Star Trek the original series.

A shame they never continued the franchise and expanded on that lore.. but then Don Bluth had a fall out with the writer and Don-bluths art and animation ~Really~ makes those old movies pop. I'll watch one with a terrible plot just for expressive animation he displays.

Sci-fi I've always loved that whole.. 'Infinate possibilities in space.. but then in nooks and cranny's on a space station, floating around in a sort of small freighter.. stuff like that.. the loneliness in the vast possibilities .. ramblyramble it just gets me all.. pumped up.

Oh, I didn't know they had sequels shelved, but to be honest, I don't think they could have extended much from there. The big bad was destroyed, the refugee situation was resolved and all that's really left to do is tell a story of the recolonization and I don't think they could have made it go anywhere else but the wrong corner :/ I loved the character design though.

As for the idea of space travel. Sure, I would love to go ^^ I know I'm the paranoid type, so I'd constantly worry about the absolute nothingness outside of the hull, but apart from that, I would love a space age.

Well the books they may have been set on happens kinda all between the events of earths fall and where they pick up in the movie. kinda a laaaarge area there to play with and explain. Y'know stuff like 'where da hell did thingies daddeh go?' but on the side they could have played a little more with the lore universe they had established.

Would love a space-age.

For a speedpaint this is pretty nice looking. I really like the setting that this piece conveys. I get the impression that the two in red and green outfits kinda look like upper middle class and they are looking upon the refugees who are down on their luck. This has a lot of emotion in it. Nicely done iPoke.

Heh, not really what I was trying to convey, but I guess that's sort of what comes over XD should have made the outfits more varied, I guess

Ah I see. ~laughs~ ^_^

I think for 45 minutes that looks awesome! I like the big window and the subtle reflection and lighting effects from it. That you had time for those in such a speedpaint speaks volumes of your ability. At least I think so :)

Hehe, thanks. As coyo pointed out a little lower, i forgot to add in shadows of the characters who should have them, but I digress, I can't think of everything yet X3

Eh, speed-paint. I think a little oversight like that is acceptable.

Good point that. I guess it#s just a matter of what you imagne for a picture and what it ends up being X3

The lack of a crowd really adds an ominous feeling to the scene, but just a few more people on each wall could have made it seem crowded if that's the kind of scene you were going for.

Yeah, that was actually the plan, but I ran out of time to add in more characters ^^;;

Why are there Si'itian refugees? Who is bad enough to kick the kitties off a planet?

*always a bigger fish

This is good for just 45 minutes, and the lack of a crowd is ominous.

You're now the third person to say that. i suppose I might have hit a spot with the absence of people... coming to think about it though, it does make sense o.o

I can't reach out and touch 10 other people. It's not nearly crowded enough.

Hehe :b it didn't need to be a throng, but as was pointed out a few comments ago, three or four more people agains the walls might have created the look I was going for.

This is really nice. Kinda brings to mind both the history of my own universe, as well as some of the fluff from the game Outpost 2; it's heavily implied that your population strings up hammocks in the cargo tunnels until suitable residences are built.

Heh, had to google that ... interesting game concept

45 minutes, wow.

I love the emotion of this piece. Maybe it's just because it really plays into the kind of science fiction I love.

Ooooh, what's that then? :3

The sharp contrast of the organic, dirty and chaotic life of civilians with the sterile, clean and orderly life between the stars.

reminds me of the slum side of Omega from Mass Effect 2. really nice capture!

Thanks a lot CW ^^ yeah, I guess that might have had an influence on it, though what I was really trying to go for was the refugee camp on the Citadel in ME3, if you remember that :3

gah yes i do and i can see it now! a bit more medical equipment would have helped convey that slightly better it seems.

..on that subject, have you ever done ME fanart? i'd love to see a speedpaint of the mako on the moon from you.. i think you'd do it great justice :D

No, I haven't gotten around to doing ME fanart yet, mostly because of a lack of subjects, despite the games massive scope ... I could probably do your suggestion though. The mako was one of the things I really loved about the series because it gave it that 70's and 80's feel of science fiction illustrations ^w^

I figured you'd be into the ME1 design because it seems most classic sci-fi style.
And if you did that it would be freaking amazing. I guess it's a friendly request but for a shared interest :)

Hey, what's a little request between friends? ;3

The emotion! It makes me just want to do all I can to help those people.

There's always real life people who will be more than happy to take on any help :3

When it comes to charitable giving and helping people out, I focus on those in the furry fandom who come on very difficult times whether it's medical bills/necessary surgery, big veterinary bills, the desperate need to buy food, help towards rent to avoid eviction, those who have become homeless, etc. If I was filthy stinkin' rich I'd help a great deal more people, but for what I am able to do I can at least help some people.

And no ones asking for more really ^^

Solid speedpaint my friend, my only concern would be that the characters arent casting any shadows ^^

Very astute observation, another thing to add to the lsit of things I forgot ^^; but yeah, I'll do better next time.

Keep on improving dude ;3

Always trying ^^

Good, good ;3

Gives ideas.

The ship is empty because there was nobody left to pick?

It's what a lot of people have suggested at this point. Might as well go with it.

Interesting...I'm currently bouncing a "refugee" space story...How many can share a cryopod?

Hrmn...

No cryopods in my universe, but I'm sure the concept is interesting to write about ^^

Tryin' to figger it out...

The best way I can figure cryo out is a mixture of sources/ideas/theories...

I'm torn between just an oxygenated flouride/ine(?) Type liquid breathing system at low temps or using the fluid as a near freezing blood replacer for long term sleep/bio-maintenance system...
