Svetnikov's Scribbles

[Edig]

Text, for those having difficulty reading it:
I've been away too long...
...When sharing philosophies about life's journeys,
the philosophers overlook the element of Time...
...But Time is precious, easily lost, and impossible
to regain. I squandered it on this last sojourn...
Some say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder,'
but I wonder if their lovers shared this opinion...
...To mine, I pledged my heart, mind, body, and
the whole of my being...
...And then vanished into the wild with barely so
much as a goodbye kiss...
...Was it foolish for me to hope that her feelings
had endured in my absence?
I have never seen her angry. I cannot imagine
what her ire or scorn would be like.
Truthfully, my deepest wishes were always for
her happiness...
...Even so, I would welcome her wrath with
open arms...
...If only it meant seeing her once more...

Footnote(s): I almost didn't post this, afraid that perhaps the one scene was too risque. Be kind. 
Extensive use of screenshots and reference for this one, hence the higher level of detail.
Thanks to "Lhaa" for providing the spark of inspiration. And to Sade, for providing the memories... 

Wow.  I don't know why I just found this but I'm glad I did.  Your artwork is incredible. You deserve much praise. 
I hope you continue this creative release.  We could all benefit from it, I'm sure!

Peace to You.

Edig..

I'm glad i found this too. I finally learned to draw hand's from your picture's. YAy for copyism.

[Lokter Tarvitz]

but i can do basic 3d modelling and some photoshop colouring

*No, that wasn't the flame talisman he smashed. Just a random pendant.
*Had some things I needed to get out of my system lately. Don't read into it too much.

*me huggles Kieve "Very nice... and sad".

[Anumesa]

So sad...

Beautiful drawings as always, keep up the good work 

[Raa]

I swear I already posted here...

Emo!Kieve, did Sade quit?

[Mathy Stockington]

That is so touching it makes me want to cry. Great work!!

[Eliseth]

Woo! I've always loved these! Good work Kieve.

I still want more butt kicking action though 

[Kieve]

Thanks for the comments.
(And no, Raa, she didn't quit)

Something a bit different now - not PS-related, exactly, but worth showing I guess.
Iota Mk2 Test Render
Took approx. 4hrs to render - for 30sec/900 frames. God help me when the full scene is ready...

[Satha]

Fancy. =o I'm curious, how many polys is it? Looks quite detailed.

Oh and what program did you use?

[Kieve]

3DSMax v5. Total scene polycount is roughly 60k right now, although as you can see there's still a great deal of detailing left on the hull and side pylons - not to mention the entire interior still needs to be fleshed out (right now it's an empty box)

Additionally, it's referred to as "flight test" because the initial idea for the anim was to do a preflight check - test the airbrakes, vents, and other control surfaces, then retract the landing struts (not shown, due to incompleteness), and give it a brief run. Total expected animation time is somewhere around the 4-minute mark.

[Baldur]

I feel it's a bit bulky for my taste, but very original in shuttle designs

[Kieve]

Turning Point

Footnotes: The ending text was nearly impossible to write properly. I'm usually better at planning that out.
Also, I think Tilavi came out DAMN good. 

Sorry Eliseth - maybe some buttkicking next time. My muse is mellow lately, though.

[Mathy Stockington]

Wow! That just takes my breath away. I can really feel the emotion. I love it Kieve.
