    Default Illustrated 02 || The Crash ||

    The Crash
    only the lucky few survive...


    The Story


    Sheridan has boarded the merchant ship "Goron II". He is to retrieve a rare specimen for his master’s business… but fate has other plans for the complacent man. A strange ship malfunction has occurred, and the ship is being pushed by the gravitational pull of an unknown planet.

    The Ship's able pilots are able to crash land the vessel in a frightening and hostile environment, one that is filled with bones and the stench of death.

    Only a couple men and women survive the crash, our unlikely hero Sheridan, amongst them.

    A bounty hunter, a captain, two pilots, a doctor, a nurse, three deck hands , a scientist, a technician, a couple of soldiers, and our unlikely hero is all that’s left…




    Challenge Brief



    Illustrate a moment of this description… are you in the ship with Sheridan and the crew? Or is your illustration after the wreck? Is Sheridan waking up to find dead bodies around him? Or does he wake up outside underneath a massive skeleton? You can Illustrate the entire crew or just Sheridan alone, but you MUST include Sheridan.

    Sheridan is a character taken from the recent CharacterFORGE , a weekly character activity right here on the HUB.

    Our friend Secret Science wrote a pretty lengthy description of our hero, here:

    http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3299

    Use the Sheridan provided above as a start. You can make him your own, but make sure you keep his features as close to this image as you can. The rest of the crew's design ( if you choose to illustrate them ) is up to you.


    The locale can be anywhere you want it to be. You can paint the inside of the merchant ship the "Goron II", or the outside of this unknown planet. Just make sure whatever location you decide only enhances the drama of the situation.


    Guidelines


    - Illustrate The Crash. Must include Sheridan ( but he doesn't have to be the focus of the painting either).

    - All types of illustration open. ( interior pages, card formats, book covers, magazine covers)

    - Working File can be any size you want, finals to be no wider than 1000 pixels ( you can include detail shots if you want).

    - Post FINAL image in FINALS THREADS ( to be posted later)

    - Post your progress in this thread! Don't be shy!

    What a killer job you two have done on the graphics and story for this round. (Of course I don't want to forget either about what a bang up job secret_science did on the Sheridan drawing itself.) I'm jealous of all of you.

          Irawan Sweeeeeet. I really like the image as it now. I'm really looking forward to what you're gonna do with it

          I made two sketches, both kind of focussing on the environment.

          I'm gonna do a few more of these...

            LOVE IT! I would just suggest the following. ground the character to the left, sheridan screaming. it would do wonders to your composition and drama! But loving it so far!!!

            Lost Fayth: That's such a wonderful way to start! Quick thumbnails emphasizing on composition and value ! It's funny how fast they go but how effective they are! Good job! MOre more more!!


            I'm working on overtime! The CFC and Illustrated are my goals this weekend! I'll be joining the party soon! Woooo!
