Here is a picture of crashed ship, far from final
Ship crashed an hour ago.

So what could i add to it, it feels half empty !?
And what seems wrong with it?

Very nice!

A few ideas:

-would it be appropriate for the ship have any logos/names etc on it?
-perhaps it could look a little more buried, like its really nosed into the ground.
-A chunk of it could have fallen off on impact and landed next to it?Seeing as it's
-Seeing as it only crashed an hour ago, there should probnably be some smoke.

I agree with every point, except i dont know about the smoke, only if i make some fire

Absolutely great!

Some nitpickings:

-You should add more colours. Logo's etc. (what dan said)

-Maybe add some windows and a door of some sort.

-Add more "dirt" around the bottom. Now it looks more like it has been there for a couple of weeks and the grass have had some time to grow.

But its an overall great pic! Looking forward to the game!

Can't have been a very big crash, seeing as how it's almost entirely intact. When I envision a ship crashing, I expect to see at least a couple of parts ripped off, open circuitry, a bit of fire, or at least smoke from inside, and a lot of damage to the surroundings

The vines laying on top should point to the left, as the ship came down from the right. And I wonder if the ship was a space-only one, cause nothing in this shape could fly with gravity around.

Besides that, great work as always!

Looks gorgeous!

It looks like the ships come in at a low angle and kind of skidded along the ground for a wys before coming to rest - if that's the case, it would have ploughed through a load of trees, knocking them down. A felled tree lying in the foreground maybes? Or just generally more debris and devistation. As eralier posters have mentioned, it looks like a very restrained and genteel crash site at the moment.

It is gentle crash, as the main character survived

DanClarke · « **Reply #8 on:** 29 Jan 2006, 15:18 »

if thats an 'escape hatch' then perhaps the door could be on the floor?

More nitpicking:

The ships colour is somewhat strange to me. I would prefer it to be the non-orignial grey/silver.

Moreover since a ship would wieght around 50 Tons at least, I would expect the ground to be shattered, no matter how gentle the crash was. Take for exapmle a simple fall from 3 meters, of a 50 Tons thing. That would create a crater. Now if we're talking about a moving ship that size that would have recked the whole scenary actually and not a singel vine would be seen...

I agree that markings should be added, and also a window

Sektor 13 · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 Jan 2006, 17:17 »

Something about the crash: The ship didn't came from the right, but from the "up" part of the screen (towards the viewer), so you cannot actually see the whole devastation that ship made while crashing (and sliding few meters) as it is behind the ship, i made the color "yellow-orange" as this is not a human ship. So i wanted to be a bit different, thats why i didn't draw any windows too (but i still may).

The wines are seen because the ship slided very slow in last couple of meters, so that would't have much impact to the sorroundings.

Ship tried to make an emergency landing, they moved a bit down with high speed, they hit grass and trees (and a lot of , now exinct, animals

). When hiting the floor, ship turned a bit a slided in the position as it is seen in the picture.

I started work on a small paint over and then read the post, it seems a lot of my ideas have been said previously, but here, anyway. Forgiv my lack of talkent

A few things I noticed:

Corey · « **Reply #13 on:** 29 Jan 2006, 17:38 »

Isnt that hole where a door was ?? i dunno, just geussing

DanClarke · « **Reply #14 on:** 29 Jan 2006, 17:58 »

With regard to the wing getting past the tree, i did wonder that myself, but it was mentioned that it dropped from above, so i guess it could be feasible.

and shouldnt there be a windo or something, you need to see where are you going, and it seems it wasnt going wery fast, cause it hasnt slided a bit(no heap-dont know right word, hope you get the point)...

If you read further above, i believe you would get an answer to your question.

Somehow it looks like it has been there longer than just a few hours.

Maybe because of the colour?
