Hey everyone, I just finished a scene that I have been working on that is inspired by Deus Ex, Mass Effect, and Star Citizen!
Critiques are more than welcome!

Maybe some parts are too dark and a bit difficult to read (at least on my screen...). I don't know what engine you are using but maybe increase the indirect lighting / bounce light will help to light the dark parts. The gold tape on the Christmas tree looks flat, it's a bit strange, like you painted line on it... i am not sure but maybe add occlusion and improve the reflection's look will help to add depth to it ? One last, just personal opinion but i don't like the glow on the tiny lights of the tree. Compare to the amazing glow of the hologram it's looking a bit cheaper. I think it will look better if you lower the intensity and slightly add a saturated deep blue on the border.
Anyway, good work and even if the pitch is short i really appreciate the story.
I think in a handful of your shots that mix of home-y and sci fi gets lost. For instance, the one with the couch in the background...you see the trim from that doorway, but other than that it looks almost fully like a regular home. Maybe just a few more details in those shots to bring in just a little more of that tech flavor will help to carry the story through each shot.
I think the last shot with the christmas tree is pretty clever. The rounded corner and the wall paneling that looks like regular wood at first, then gives a little sci fi vibe is great! It might be a little subtle. Maybe some futuristic wall outlet, or ceiling light, or some other element can push that a little more in that shot. Oh, just realized that the door handle appears to be quite small, bugs me now that I notice it.
I love the mood overall, and the light from the planet through the window is cool! You do a great job mixing the cold space look with warm comfy home.
Great job!
