Next I remembered I wanted to show you work of this artist. Ralph Mcquarrie, in my oppinion he was major (and largely unknown) reason why original Star Wars had such a unique magical feeling. Which is now just lost despite technology being so much more advanced, capable to showing any kind of scene. But without that special spirit this concept artist shown in each image, the world is just lacking something.
Even when depicting conflict and wapon fire, you kinda want to live in that world as it seems beautiful somehow. In modern versions, this is absent and nobody sane would want to be part of that. I hope Iam not offtopic!

Clones, Idea about simple spawns in body only seems quite fine to me. This will sound strange, but some months ago when bored waiting on bus stop I got an (somewhat obvious) idea that in future you could have clone controled by your own mind and so you could literally --ehm you know what-- yourself :-D and experience it on both ends at same time.
But a clone with just copied mind, thats kind of a strange as you are not unique anymore and that is not just a vanity but a) if clone does something better you know you are just a failure no excuse b) you can give up on doing anything as your exact copies already exists, why bother c) most things you ever do were done already including very little details. d) therefore nobody miss you if "you" stop existing
And that was in a fact issue with Noah, that because his unique experiences he was different and no other clone can just be a quite the same - replace him that easy, yet he mistakenly thought otherwise. Will write more there tomorow!
If Iam thinking too much forgive me.... always strugling to balance if I written too much or not enough in comment.
On other hand lets say you are having some kind of deadly accident, ie breaking your neck... and this alien entity will transfer your mind to exactly same body. That is still strange but most would be very ok with it. And in very scifi like case even solve "other side of world" problem as you would just transfer your mind to other clone body.
Yup time to end this megalong post :-)
Yeah it's a good art, but I honestly don't remember any bad moments in SW episodes 1-8 that made me stop watching or left a bad aftertaste. I usually can't watch movies like that, like 2 days ago I tried to watch "Gangs of New York" because I read it was good but I only survived about 15%, just not my cup of tits. The same with most movies like that. But SW8 Last Jedi, I watched it all, think it's a good movie, but truth be told, I don't really remember any scenes from it or other new SW movies, they all have very good plots and many connections and extended lore, you watch and think wow that universe feels endless now, but the only catchy scene I can remember is the joke when the spaceship turns to be a clothes iron :D
"But a clone with just copied mind, thats kind of a strange as you are not unique anymore"
All the issues you listed (you're not sure of yourself, afraid someone will do better than you if given your body, you don't want to bother doing something because other people do it better or it was done before, afraid that you won't be missed because you can be easily replaced) are caused by depressive thinking. In 2201 depressed people, psychopaths and other mentally sick people don't exist anymore, so I can't imagine them having self-destructive thoughts like that. They're nice people, clones are just like twin brothers but with less obligations. The idea can be extended like clones could have one master body and the other copies are secondary, the master mind can switch between them, etc. But why bother with such complexities, maybe if I actually make a picture and would need a story for it then might dig deeper into it :D
But I want our "light" smiley Yasha baaack :-) away with dark forces! On other had if we would find out this is his "dark" clone or something I would be drooling to see them together, balancing one another. Also agree that few details can change perception very much.
Story was also funny and had interesting setting.
Thanks for another trip to wonderland
I guess it's a good idea in general to try adding some clones to the world, it's been a while I was thinking of the Vraexol being able to generate humanoid spawns, I imagined basic spawns are simple but cute creatures who can fool humans and have sex with them to collect the important white fluid (human semen) used for the Vraexol's growth. Advanced spawns can be significantly improved, able to talk and telepathically connected to the Vraexol mycelium, so they can do diplomacy and make all kinds of deals with humans. But then there can be next level spawns who can be modelled after existing humans and copy their mental data at a certain time, so until that time the copied memories are the same as the original's but then after that the copy and the original start living their own lives.
I think clones are really useful, for example Yasha can get his own Andrzej if Andrzej is too busy and living in another country. Also when you're super talented and several places want to hire you at the same time, or if you're torn apart between wanting to get good at several things and can't choose, can always create a clone... Of course as in the example of Noah's Ark clones of the best people on the planet can be sent to build a new colony... :P

Ah reaction vids, used to watch them for a while but spending time here is much better.
She is flying almost like an angel! Very nice!
I like the image(s)! And we talked about a movie thanks to its existence. I would bet a lot that if you would do more "suit" pictures they be even better. But that doesn't mean i dont like Yasha the space xplorer :-p
In a past I was often thinking a lot about different kind of advanced suits as those people in extreme conditions seems using today are so bulky and super primitive as they restrict already limited range of motion of average human.
One interesting seemed Crysis game Nano suit. But One which captivated my mind since kid when I first saw it was concept (not actual look) of alien bio suit from Independence day 1. The fact, that it is biological and enhances your body without turning you into clunky hard semi robot (just like second thicker layer of skin), but also offers strong protection. Kind of a super advanced neoprene suit through which you can feel and sense better than with your own yet sharpest rocks can't make a dent.
I also liked body language of last engineer when he started fighting that big tentacled thing. He seemed so skilled just from way he was moving as if he could turn it arround.
grrr anyway instead of marveling about your design Iam babling about everything else, sory!
Yasha looks great even like this, but Noah and Namah design seemed more "advanced". But hey Yasha is just warming up!
In the movie as it is, that pose was completely off because as you said it wasn't used for anything good. He's just cheststanding and then he's already standing. It would be better if they at least showed how he gets up, it would be weird and bet would make that scene more popular with youtubers recording their reactions to it :P
As for space suits and the like, I probably mentioned already but I like this video, it's not a bulky suit though but well it looks futuristic anyway

As a side note what I not quite like about Prometheus is that all the aliens have the same face, for instance in Mass Effect 1,2,3 characters of the same race never look the same, but in Prometheus it's impossible to tell the very first alien at the beginning from the last one, unless I'm lame and it's supposed to be the same person :D
Anyways, no problem if Noah/Namah looked better, this pic was done just for fun as a test if these textures could be used for something like that, I don't know why I even uploaded this pic but it seems fun :P

Yes thats what Iam loving, that you are finding way how to add multiple images into one naturaly and they aren't just form different angle, they are indeed different!
Comic is a tricky thing, it can end up as absolute blast, or bit awkward, but as with everything you sure figure it out!
Thanks for reply!!!
Yeah, comics are too tricky and I normally make art just to relax and have fun, all the 3D software and painting/posteffects software are a lot like a big complex video game, it's fun to explore all the things you can do. Contortion makes it easy to stay focused on learning something new like this device I made by myself. Always wanted to learn this stuff because I think those smooth futuristic devices look super hot for contortion training and I'm definitely looking forward to make more crazy stuff like this haha... "soft bodies vs hard surfaces" XD
Idea with cameras so good.
Yup since i'm doing this in 3D I just can't get enough of how many angles look good sometimes, so I'm trying to find ways to incorporate more angles into the picture. I've seen some 3D artists do several images of the same scene from different angles but I find it not very artistic. Well, at some point I might finally try a comic :P

But I want to stress out it is good you shared even bit inperfect picture with us, story is great and even details like pattern on wall or sculpture are interesting to me.
Maybe most people dont appreciate it but I certainly do!
I like that Martin is teaching and learning various "techniques" at same time... its straight out of best dreams possible.
And Nate having so many friends which can give him helping hands at same time is very good thing!
btw: stone of sculpture is complex and as you write must have taken many hours to make it almost realistic! Plus I like Martin's outfit. Thanks!
Maybe its stupid idea, as I can't picture it exactly in head myself :-( but for some reason felt need to tell you right away before going to bed.
Speaking of crazzy ideas another one just arrived. What if sculptor was making statue just as he is doing inspired by gorgeous model but statue's current form would change his own look in less precise way? Sort of: Do not fear... I dont wana copy your look but little inspiration here and there, can't hurt... .
