Apartmen among the stars

Again, another scene from the colony ship project...

[Borgleader]

Small tidbits really:
1. Your earth image looks compressed, maybe get a higher resolution one?
2. the shelf looks like it's floating? And it doesnt seem to have a texture?
3. The couches look more like separate pieces than a whole.
4. Your table doesnt have a base and hence looks unstable (or is it bolted into the ground?)
5. The border between the edge of your ships window and the image looks odd, alsmost like Slection --> Feather
6. Theres a black triangle between the little guy's legs.

The image is 2058x2048... Yeah, the table is attached to the floor.. Appreciate the rest the feedback though. Thanks, man.

The earth should be much, much brighter... and some blue light should from it into the room.
Plus, think of some Sci-fi-style furniture... unless you plan something steampunk!

Another shot.. There is a bedroom next door and a shower..What I have here is basically a living room of sorts..

I added the sun.. So basically, the colony ship would be just passing the earth as it orbits the sun.

[CTZn]

At that distance it would better orbit the Earth It is deep into sublunar space.

How's the colony managing gravity ? Has it a shape ? Could some portions of it be seen from that viewpoint ?

Drop your ideas somewhere so you can then proceed with those you like more

So exactly how earth is lit? If Sun is t it's back we should be seen the Earth shadow zone..

[neo0.]

Well, the colony would be be built in the far future so there would be some sort of artificial gravity.. I haven't thought of a good design for the colony itself though.

hmm if the sun were directly visible like that, you definitely wouldn't see anything else because of its relative brightness. also, it would be basically pure white in colour unless tinted by the window, which would also affect the earth's colour (if it were discernable because of aforementioned brightness).

it's an interesting idea for a scene, but you gotta make like stanley kubric in space odyssey and make it realistic

reminds a bit of this recent xkcd:

[djegoo]

YO
Neo0. Instead of lighting your scene by somthing unseen that casts shadows like what we see, maybe you should design some fixtures and lamps, and these would light up the scene.
Even in Star Trek, Stargate, Cosmos1999, etc... every futuristuc/alien/sci-fi technologies have lamps design. it would add realism and details to yer scene, because for the moment, it is all grey and maybe, you beter remove this character, and privilege a human pov.
work on it

[neo0.]

Yep, im currently working on the materials and adding better lighting.

Here is the background I will most probabaly be using.

Well you're not allowed to use it as you don't have the artists written permissin neither is it stock material...

[neo0.]

Hehe, I am the artist. I might have mentioned this before, but my deviant id is gripinc. Check it out.

You thought I couldn't do something that good in photoshop?

[neo0.]

Im very happy with how this is comming along.
