Coffee Shop 2

A view of a coffee shop looking in from the outside. I've always been a fan of dappled light so here it is. I can't wait to put the characters in this environment.

Excellent design and artistic concept. I have two technical comments:

1) Bevel your edges. I have literally said this dozens of times to 3D artists on NG, so it's not personal, but the infinitely-sharp edges on a perfect cube created in 3D software is one of the first give-aways that it isn't realistic.

2) Along the same lines, you have to make sure any curved surfaces have a LOT of edges and vertices, or you can see that the curved surface is really a polygon. That's another realism-killer. I'm looking specifically at the mid-right, where the display window curves toward the back wall. In full-size, it's obvious that it's made of 7 segments; increase that to 20 and it won't be noticeable.

But it's good stuff, and I'm glad to see all your posts.

mematron responds:

This is conceptual art. It's more than acceptable for the cast and crew.

wow stunning.

Wow. I like the grayscale. It reminds me of Noir type movies. Are you going to color this with Piranesi?

Stuff like this makes me wish I went to art school and took it more seriously

mematron responds:

It's going to stay black and white. Textures will not be flat but actual geometry that will interact with light and shadow. I'm taking the road less traveled because that is my job as an artist. I challenge everyone on this site to take that route. Defy the conventional. That's what makes you Human, your imagination.
