Smile "The Lost World" - andrei25ni

Hello.

This is my first post here, and what better way to make a first post in a forum than in a contest ? :)

Glad to be here, this place rocks :super: !



So, my theme is a mystical place of a peaceful land that floats in the sky, surrounded by clouds and a warm light.
Anyway, I have the idea in my head, not sure if you understand.

I'll post some concepts soon.

Cheers!

an idea is good.
but the piece of earth with a castle, hanging in
sky, is pretty banal.
therefore we wait excellent embodiment in 3d!!!
successes!

Thank you for stating your opinions here. They are really useful.

I've thought about it for some time, and I think I'll make this "piece of land in the sky" a place where Gods used to live, and not mortals. This (I think) makes more sense on why the sky is floating :p .

Over the time, mortals (that sounds kind of morbid, I know) stopped believing in their gods, and started to be more responsible with their lives, not asking for the help of the so powerful Gods for every problem they had, or if they needed advices.

To punish them, the Gods decided that the mortals don't deserve to see them anymore and their kingdoms. So, they made them selfs invisible.

With the pass of time, and the evolution of the humans society and cultures, the Gods became legends. No one knows if they existed, if they really punished the humans, or if they are still there in the skies, watching us from them beautiful lands.


---

Now, I'm not sure how many renders of the world I'm supposed to make (one or more), but I will concentrate more on the architecture and surroundings (plants, trees etc.) . So this won't be just a "piece of earth with a castle, hanging in sky" ! :p


Hope this makes sense now. I'll post more concepts soon.
Waiting for your opinions.


Cheers!

It is a good idea if you are giong to try it...there have been many people to do the floating island thing...I think if you are going to do this, try to focus on a particular area of the city...it would be neat if you can get a shot of the city looking off the edge of the island...

Could you show me some of these people, because I don't want to have any copyright issues... :(

Cheers.

don't worry about copyright issues...yours is original enough for yourself. I've seen the floating island idea in many galleries over the years. You find many people who used Bryce had 3d floating islands...myself included. I think there was a D & D cover with a floating island specifically on the cover.

Only worry about copyrights if you copy or use the picture directly...this is your own idea and it will continue to be your own as long as you expand and create off of this idea.

BTW: I didn't mean to generalize...you kind of backed me in a corner asking to show you these people hehe...whoops on my part. :)

P.S. Good luck in the contest

Thank you all for the encouragements. :beer:

And thanks myucka for clearing this out.
I'm aware that the floating island is not an original concept, but
I thought that someone else on this forum already done this. :D

I'm back. :victory:

I haven't worked on this since my last post because I was VERY busy.
But right after the new year I'll get back to work.

This is now of more interest to me, because I will use the models made in a game I'm currently working.



Happy Holidays and A Happy New Year to all !

Cheers.
