BlastWave's Gallery - Airships Over Horoa

[lynxster4 2,703]

Wow...I'm almost speechless....your scenic images are just getting better and better!  Great work!  

[TrevorOutlaw 267]

Man, you sure have been busy.  I haven't visited this gallery in a while, and your works are top notch.  Well done, and keep it up.

The deep lavender to purple sunset is a gorgeous hue. Just looking at it is a serene experience.

Challenge: I challenge you to make a realistic scene with drab lighting. It won't have silhouettes or high contrasts, and can't have a strong color theme without breaking realism. It's hard for most people and I can't do it really, so I think as most of your artwork takes advantage of contrasts and color schemes, this may prove to help you develop your ability to portray realism.

Dusk Planning is another wonderful piece @BlastWave, and I agree the music is perfect ... I'd possibly have a Margarita in my hand as well.  Great work one again

[BlastWave 203]

Thank you everyone!

Thanks Joshua!

 

It sounds like a pretty hard challenge, I think I'll try doing it in 2018. No silhouettes or high contrasts will definitely be quite difficult.

Here's one last piece for 2017! This time, we're going to space.

Oh Boy you really do have a gift for detail.  Looks just like the real thing

Great space image @BlastWave!      Watch out for those asteroids!   

[Seerose 4,104]

 @BlastWave! Something nice, great space picture. Well done.  Thank you for sharing.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!

 

It's a new year, and so of course there will be new drawings. Here's the first piece of 2018, an animated one.

While this scene wasn't animated with Paint.NET, everything else was done with it. The tanks, shrubs, ground, clouds, background, dust clouds, and tank animation frames were all done by hand in PDN, and it was then put into Game Maker: Studio and animated with the editor.

That is AWESOME!

[Seerose 4,104]

 @BlastWave! You have affected yourself again.  How much frame does the animation have? Incidentally, excellent work. 

Thank you for sharing.

That is just GREAT @BlastWave      You are building quite an impressive portfolio!  

[Joshua Lamusga 229]

@BlastWave The sprite editor is nice; I used it for the small Halo gun drawings from 2009 in my gallery (back when I used GM for 6 years and knew everything about GML). Good times.

 

Oh, and I think that animated scene is a perfect example of a good-looking scene with drab lighting and no gradient, bi, or tri-color scheme. Well done, you already beat the challenge.

Oh Boy - that animated clip is really F A N T A S T I C

[TrevorOutlaw 267]

I am impressed.  The change of the tank's track to simulate crossing the uneven terrain, the second tank in the background matching the foreground tank, and just the attention to detail.

 

I'm impressed.

[Beta0 85]

I feel like you're getting into 'more realistic' territory. I like that.

 

And, now, a one-sentence horror story: 'I need to catch up with this forum.' D8

[BlastWave 203]

Thank you everyone!

 

@SeeroseThe animation has a total of 128 frames recorded at a speed of 30 FPS.

 

@Joshua Lamusga I'm not sure if it fully qualifies, as the trees in the foreground are silhouettes, and technically the tank has some lighting highlights on its turret. I'll have to give it another shot, I think.

It's been a bit of awhile, but I'm back! Here's a new scene for February.

Amazing gallery you have here, BlastWave! Keep up the good art!!

[LionsDragon 853]

Oh come on now! That's incredible!

[Seerose 4,104]

 @BlastWave! OMG! 128 frame. For days you have worked on it.

 

Your new work is fascinating, I love it.   Thank you for sharing.  

[lynxster4 2,703]

Brilliant new piece @BlastWave!   You just feel immersed in the hustle and bustle of busy city life at night.  Well done!    

[BlastWave 203]

Thank you, everyone!

 

It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I'm still making scenes, just a bit slower.

 

Here's one for the weekend, inspired by the movie Das Boot.

Beautiful work @BlastWave and a great movie, too!   

[Maximilian 1,849]

Amazing gloomy atmosphere!

[Beta0 85]

I like your recent piece. The color scheme and simplistic design makes me think of certain indie games, like Ori and the Blind Forest. Very beautiful. :]
