Celestia Forums

Hello Celestians,
Here a small image carried out for a poster. My Hollyday postcard, if you want
The relationship with Celestia? I was useful myself of the program as sketch before painting the image.
Stage one: to compose a .ssc file to place the objects in situation. (Use of Venus ring generator, mixture of models and textures, existing or invented, modify the ring etc)
Stage 2: To Capture screenshots from a interessant point of view: it is the sketch. Here there is one of them.

Stage 3: To paint the forms and matters wished over this sketch.
Later, another stages consist has to encrust a scene as foreground of this space bottom. And to move some moons and stars to readabily place the texts, etc...

(It acts of a poster for a little festival of Science fiction and Fantasy, illustration -the background style- and comic strip -the foreground style)

Pas mal... mais un poil classique ?  mon go?»t l'affiche (mais bon convient parfaitement ?  l'?©vennement)
Tu es donc illustrateur professionnel...

Ah, that reminds me of 'Valerian and Veronique', Tombe 4:

Not on the title page, but inside there is a scene very similar to that picture above.

Heh, Valerian was great. I had a few english translations of the comics (including the Alflolol one).

I like French scifi, it's usually very original.

Nice work Jeam!

Yes, I also recognised Mezieres's touch, here.

By the way, I was interested in making a model of Valerian's space-time saucer. I may try it again this weekend.

Anyone has some great pictures of the saucer ? I have almost all the books from Mezieres here at home, but some scanned pictures would be better.

Thanks Andrea...I hope to learn more about computer work to enhance my illustration works (I'm a really Brain-Dead in these stuffs) : if it will be occure i'll test some textures and other pictural works i'll hope to share to Celestia.

Yep; c'?©tait un choix, faire classique -dans le style de mes vieilles illustrations- pour ne pas trop d?©ranger le public un peu p?©p??re de ce genre de manifestation municipale, qui n'en est qu'?  sa deuxi??me ?©dition, la premi??re ayant ?©t?© nase question design, j'ai choisi d'y aller doucement, consensuel... Sinon, oui, je suis illustrateur, plut??t traditionel: ce n'est que depuis quelques ann?©es que je me mets peu ?  peu ?  l'outil informatique - cela coincide avec ma d?©couverte d'Open Universe puis Celestia en 2001-2002, d'ailleurs, comme quoi...

'Val?©rian agent spatio-temporel' in French , the girl, 'Laureline' (the more interesting character in this serie), wasn't quoted in the first titles - She was discover in the Earth middle-age by Val?©rian in the first opus, 'Les mauvais r??ves' ...(the authors told me that there were a lot of girls called 'laureline' since the series appeared!!! -and i personnally encountered one of them
''Bienvenue sur Aflolol' (1972) is the opus you spoke about, and i see what you mean: yes Maxim, I absolutelly do not thinking about this when i drawn the characters, but you are right this is in this sort of visual i turned this picture on... I like a lot Jean-Claude M?©zi??res works, the drawer, who is a really great artist and a cool guy. (Just met him sometimes, often around some beers, since 20 years, and love him really:-)
