    MYFX Weekly Challenge #198 - A to B - WIPs

    A to B: The Sci-Fi corridor

    Welcome to challenge 198. Remember to cast your vote in the last weekly while it's still open. Feel free to offer suggestions for future challenges themes (see link below).

    Brief:

    Design a classic Sci-Fi corridor in glorious colour.

    Description/Info:

    Possibly the most important element of any self respecting science fiction story is a corridor. A place to get from one part of a ship/space-station/habitation dome, to another, as well as somewhere to get attacked by aliens, or to get blasted into space when the side is blown out. From the dark, dangerous claustrophobia of Alien to the cosy, carpeted beige-ness of Star Trek: TNG. Create something to get our heroes from here to there in comfort or terror, the choice is yours.

    Deadline:

    Midnight (GMT) on Wednesday 20th October (this is Wednesday night, Thursday morning for those that need clarification). There is a 5 minute grace period allowing people to get their posts and links sorted. A moderator will then post a list of valid entries after checking links and voting will begin until the following midnight. Crits are welcomed during the voting process.

    Post all comments, discussion, and all WIPs (required for entry)in this thread. Final entries should be posted in the Final entries thread:

    http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/322891/ShowThread.aspx#322891

    Brief rules and additional info:

    A minimum of 2 WIPs are required in addition to your final entry. Links to these should be posted along with your final entry in the finals thread. A link is provided below to details of how to do this. You may be disqualified if you do not post WIP links correctly.

    All artwork must be the work of the entrant, and completed within the time frame of the challenge. You may only enter 1 entry per challenge, and may only cast 1 set of votes during voting.

    Please keep entries and WIPs below 500k and a maximum of 1000 pixels across. Larger files causes problems for all users, especially those on slower connections.

    Moderators monitor the voting in these challenges to combat cheating and maintain fairness. We may discount any vote we consider suspicious, and will disregard any attempts at sabotaging the voting, or in any way screwing with these challenges.

    Ah yes, Star Trek TNG..... fond memories.  Good ol' data and his human emotion fetish.

    I love the new system for the weekly challenge.  The new challenge is up and running so fast!

    This could get interesting. I want to join, but I probably will have to sit this one out. Still feel bad about not being able to finish the last one.

    Danke Mhugo!  I'm not really confident with setting up values, so I think I tend to underuse the darker tones, but as you will see, I followed your suggestion, and it came out great!  I'm going for the creepy, abandoned feeling...  I hope you get in on this one=)  I just need to sit down and paint, rather than watch my shows... I'm addicted to Dexter and True Blood.

     Thanks Mhugo.  Yours is coming along great!

     

    Almost walked away from this one, but decided to stick it out to see what I could push out.

    Still a mess, but learning a lot from it.
