Ok, not exactly flying along with this one but its almost done. Clearly need to scoot the two characters out from in front of the explosion. Do you think that will mess up the balance of the picture? I need to do some texturing. Im going to just clone the dresss textures on to the other person but Im not sure about which other person. If I use this one, then the skin will be the mesh from the dress, the armor will be trimmed in gold and the whitish itself.

If I use this one then the cloak would be white with gold trim. Might work in some sleeves. What do you think?

Poisanally I don't like the cloak, think the first option would be better. I wonder if you could just render the figures and lay them in as a 2d plane reversed? Or just make the explosion bigger? It's almost more interesting that you can't really see the explosion......... How would it be if you darkened the (blue) figure slightly and lightened the explosion a lot, so the figure was outlined a bit more starkly? then you could also darken the area to the front right-hand side. That way you might be able to intensify the confused feeling? The lighting is very flat, considering what's going on outside.

oh yeah. Still need to light the scene. Nothing but the sun now. I usually add the lighting last. The blue figure is not intended to stay blue, it was just a handy material. The blue person will be a gaurd/hand maiden type o' person.

xenic, my personal opinion here, but you really need to change that dress texture on the queen or whatever. it attracts too much attention.

If she is the Queen, then she's saying farewell to her kingdom. Leave the dress, it's just great. I wonder what part of the meteor shower has grabbed her attention so much? or....maybe it's an underwater kingdom, getting showered by rocks from the surface?
