Starlight: a new look

Here are some initial concept designs for the new uniform and the treatment of the pictures. 

I decided that the short sleeves didn't really work so I extended them. I kept the lines in and then added more to give the uniforms more details.

I also experimented with lighting and how to make the uniforms really glow. You can see from these initial pictures that it didn't always work out. The red/maroon uniform for the ensigns came up by accident. When that worked, I thought it would be nice to add some color to the uniform code, so there are variations of sleepwear and workout clothes that you will see later on.

I wanted to keep the green for the Ground Command troopers and the black lines didn't really work here. So I tried softer white lines that, when added to the uniform in Photoshop, turned it a lighter shade of green.

Also, you may have noticed, I've removed the yellow scarab from the uniform and changed it into a design insignia that is on the uniform itself. It's hell to do because you have to account for the position of the body and the pose, but I kinda liked it.

 All these pictures aren't really what I would call perfect, yet. Rather, they helped me to figure some stuff out and allowed me to play with the lighting, the mood and feel of the pictures to come.

Let me know what you think!


Have a great Christmas Eve everyone!
Tomorrow, some more pictures.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

So what's been happening on Starlight?

Lots, actually.

Some slight redesign and a story are being worked out for the Season Two premier in January 2012!

Oh you'll get a sneak peek of the art on Christmas Day (yes, I said "Christmas") and another on the 26th December. My little present for all of you who've stayed with me throughout this year. Then in January, a new adventure begins!

I can't wait either.

Stay tuned!

Getting a little aroused while working is nothing new in the engine room.
