Sci-Fi Objects

Hello. Hre is some of my art I am currently working on, I'm trying to figure out if these Sci-Fi Objects look like Sci-Fi objects or more like Giant Tires stuck in the snow. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

LOL. Once you see the tyre it's kind of hard to unsee it.

It's less of an issue in the night version.

Looking great otherwise!

Ok cool, thank you. Yea that is what I thought as well. :D

The fact that it's leaning makes it look a bit more like a lost tire. Maybe if it were perfectly upright, we would see it more as a functional artifact than a piece of debris?

You could also give it 'skirts' or supports -- more or less narrow wings stretching off to either side. See the attached crude sketch for some possible shapes. The 'wing' part could be very thin, or almost as thick as the whole arch, front to back.

A promo image in which, instead of just one arch, you had a line of them one after the other might also reduce the 'tire' look.

That's a great Idea. I'll try that and see what it looks like. Thanks :)

So here is my newest render. I personally think it looks more SciFi like.

 

Barefoot Upto My Soul

It looks like a portal to another dimention. A dimention of not only sight and sound but of mind.

My first thought was the portal from Hitchhiker's guide in the film. But not frozen.
