PixelFox Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 So I saw the images of the 2011 theme Alien Conquest the other day, and I thought of the old Classic space sets from 30 or so years ago (1978-1988). Then I succumbed to the nostalgia, and made this little digital diorama. There's no real story or anything, just a few hours of me fooling around. The full res version is available on my Flickr.

lightningtiger Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 AWESOME piece of artwork there 'PixelFox', an alien frozen in time and the classic guys trying to figure out if they defrost him or not ? Brick On 'PixelFox' ! Quote
CptMugwash Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Nice skills there, what program did you use? I really like that ice effect, reminds me of Ice Planet Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Very cool! I like the frozen alien and you made the blizzard look real. That brown planet looks like I've seen it before? Did you make it? Quote
slacker int Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Looks great! I too am curious as to what program you used to create this. nice job Quote
PixelFox Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks everyone! CptMugwash > The vehicles and accessories were made in Leocad, then exported to Maya, where I made the characters, ice etc. From there it went to Photoshop for the snow, glows and compositing. I did consider using Ice Planet guys instead, that's my all-time favourite Space theme, but I went for Classic in the end. Capt.JohnPaul > I got the planet from my reference library, thinking it was a photo of Mars or something. Then when you mentioned it now, I did a quick Google Images search. Turns out it comes from here originally. So credit to Greg Martin for the planet. Quote

Great job in photoshop though! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Impressive work! You got some exemplary digital graphics skills PixelFox. Nice to see the combination of the classic spacemen with the 2011 Alien Conquest alien on this artwork. Quote
Mr. Gray Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Wow! Not only is this a great cross-over type thing, but the artwork itself is AMAZING! Quote
Bricker Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 OH WOW. It looks like LEGO made this for a magazine or what. It really represents the old and new stuff and it really fits together. It doesnt use much alien conquest but it still is very nice. I can think up of 1 million stories from looking at this once (You see Im a great at makin up stories). Quote
Legostein Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Hello! A fantastic diorama! The facial expressions are great and everyone can think of his own story where this snapshot was taken. The effect of the approaching reinforcements (ship and walker) is my favourite part here. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
Gregorovich Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Looks excellent, Pixelfox! It's really good piece of quality artwork. Well done! Quote
