Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017): Alpha
"We had to build the exterior and interior of Alpha for many shots, mixing 3D matte painting and full CG shots" - Olivier Martin (in charge of the art direction / concepts / matte paintings at RodeoFX)
Original pre-production concept of the space station done by Feng Zhu, and some spaceships by Isaac Hannaford. #scifi#valerian#alpha#spaceships
The Last Empress was a phenomenal episode whose theme ironically was imprisonment & executions.
I do like how Hober Mallow came in to save the day (pun not intended) & how the Empire was shown to be weak during a time of crisis.
The backstabbing by one Cleon against another was not surprising, although the look in Demerzel’s eyes reveals a startling truth: she is loyal to the first Cleon—& him alone.
That prison, in the end, brings up more questions, which makes me wonder if it was a prison for Demezel & if she has other minions like her around‽ Yes, she says she is the last machine, but that might not be true.
I was sad to see the monster meet its noble end. I wish the monster killed Day & then we could see the effects of another clone taking his place.
Here's a new video from the Spacedock #Youtube channel about the Orion Drive. I love all the #SpaceShip designs they talk about, and I want to find ways of using them in my #SciFi#writing.
It also has a link to the #ScienceFiction#AudioDrama The Sojourn, which I'll start when I have the time.
I love the parts at the beginning of genre stories before the mysterious wizard shows up or the spaceship picks up a distress call, that just describes normal everyday life in the world.
Today's the last day to download my Spaceship colouring book for free. Perfect for the kids for the summer holidays, or for you, if you just fancy taking a bit of time out to colour in a spaceship!
Raumschiffe mit Midjourney zu generieren, ist ein Thema für sich. Aber mit viel Geduld und Spucke kann man durchaus ansehnliche Ergebnisse erzielen. #spaceships#midjourney
Concept Art from #elitedangerous, these were some of the super early pieces of key art trying to hit the major beats of 'feeling'.
Some Combat (Our earliest builds were dogfighting around an O'Neil cylinder)
Some trading in the insides of huge spinning stations.
Flying your ship exploring the vastness of space.
