Since I plan to have my first game going on the pandora too and may also take the opportunity to debut it there, I thought to give them some help and attempt a splash screen for the compo.
Time is a little short, but I guess I can spare a couple days and use it to warm my hands up for the year...
The idea is to have a pandora carbon frozen just like han solo, it seems to me it matches the theme (rebirth).
If this ever gets completed, it will be in the next few days.
But I have some base tests going.
I would like to share with you guys as you have harder criticism and we all know each other a bit ;)
...just some testing of the models so far, pandora is still hard to read on those images.

Here is another, I think I use it as a base and do something out of it...I´m not sure tomorrow will be as free as today.
Is it really that weird that no one comments? I get the same no-comments on the pandora board. :(

The newest one is definitely better. Its much clearer in detail. Could maybe lose the grey background though. Something like a starfield as a backdrop would be better imo.
No one comments probably because they don't know what they could add to such a great work. ;) (I'm serious)
oh yeah, the grey 127rgb background is there only so it dosen´t interfere examining the image...those contrast things...it will have probably a degradee background or something like that. plus some smoke and colors too.

I doubt, it is probably because I´m a "first poster".
I was also thinking of putting a cameo glbasic logo well hidden somewhere, hehe, maybe on the side electronics...
or maybe bump mapped on a corner of the carbon fluid...
here is a possible final one,
splash screen.
It dosen´t quite look like it is flying, I must be missing something :zzz:

The Pic itself is really great fore shure :good:
Maybe it dosnt looks like flying because its a top down pic ?
Maybe some electronic Garbage in the background
I sugerest rebirth with a Phönix .
Iam not in a Position to critism some art because my best art is a dot in a rect .
Please forgive me if iam to harsh,to dumb or boooooring.

yep that perspective dosen´t quite help, I tried to defocus the background a little but no good.
I will try getting the shadow a little closer.

I´m starting to think the starfield idea would do this good, will also try that too.
Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate criticism, it takes too much time looking at the same image, things go wild after a long while. Other´s oppinions are a must.
Phoenix would be great, but the bird would take ages to properly draw.
I was thinking of Lazarus too (aye, too much disk doctor on the amiga days... :P) but it would also present too much work.
Tchans! finished.
Could use better sound/music on the anim, could have a better text/typography on the banner version.
Anyway the files are open and there so everyone can download and give a try.

Look great Erico! =D
thanks Bigsofty.
The carbon pandora part was made by retopology on Clean3d´s fan-made pandora 3d model, he deserves great credit.
The current typography stuff is done by Quartercast from those boards, and boy, hard to find people who can deal typos, I sure can´t! I´m impressed.
Did some animation too.
Sound or music for that is missing, any sound master would like to give a go?
