March / April - strobe7 - Noob

This will be my first competition, and I have never done anything architectural, so it should be a complete learning experience. I really don't think I am near good enough, but I will try.... nervous I am.

concept soon.

Alpha Concept

Ok, I am thinking of organic pods that will actually be dead aliens in themselves; maybe with bones in the exterior walls, and empty eye sockets, or maybe they will be alive, would be cool to see giant eyes in the side of a pod open up, hmmmmmmmm,
they will be interspersed in living-clumps, connected by energy lines that all connect to a giant ancient skull in the center that houses an unknown energy source in its gaping calcified jaw (maybe solar powered?) that is still flowing through the abandodned podville.... I want to convey that there was an alien race, and then another on top of that one using what they had, and then now THEy are gone as well. I am going to try and convey how they evolved and left the area through what is left behind...................................... I am sure this is WAY overzealous - but I will try...

Your design is a good start so far, but it seems a bit shapeless at the moment. YOu need to think about how those tentacles are attached to the main pod. I like the idea of the big eyes and stuff and the dead aliens it could be really cool.

good luck mate.

Thanks for the compliment dirack, and I agree with Pure, I am STILL a noob. Of course the pod I am showing is IN NO WAY close to completion. I was under the impression we are to show the concepts and progress, so I just threw it up with some procedural textures. I have a lot more planned, believe me user added image

OK Pure;

I will post a close-up of the P.O.D. base to show the continuity of the shape for another perspective.
The form is one flowing shape from the bottom, to the tip of the feelers.

- pretty amped about this : )

I have decided that a P.O.D. is a "personal occupancy diode".
tonight : the bones............................................. .
