Andromeda got discovered and we still trying to adapt to this new planet. The weather and nature elements of this planet force humans to redefine their civilization.

I am still going to clean up some texture maps , but I started painting my color palette. My airship is for delivery so I went for 80% cold colors.

SCENE COMPOSITION

Very nice, good to see you stuck with the project seeing the time-frame differences, it happens, i got things on back burner also. ;p

I am currently working with metal and what i can see is from a distance the front of the ship looks great, close up it looks blurry specifically that front grey/gray? piece.

See the nice highlight in the more painted blue area, i would like to see some edges with a similar highlight on the gray parts, atm it looks like you put a fabric material/pattern on the front (what i think are the bumpers of the vehicle) Just lessen the roughness on this material and add edge wear and you should be alright to see some nice edge highlights to make the front stand out more than the painted blue area. 

Atm the blue area stands out more than the front and for me that feels odd, hope that helps you are not really asking for C&C just posting so if you are wondering why nobody is saying anything that could be why, hope its welcomed otherwise, looking forward to more.

thanks for the critiques, I will keep it in mind and improve the material. However, since its an aircraft, I am going for a plastic look.

I have started working on the environment. I will add some elements to the foreground later.

My plan to tackle this terrain is simple. First, I will sculpt big shapes in Zbrush, then make the small details in Substance Painter later.
The brushes used to make the terrain base shapes are Claybuildup, Dam Standard, and Blob.

This scene was rendered in a substance Painter. My goal was to make an Alien landscape.

Looks great! If you would like some feedback I would say is if you're going to place that environment against the sky like that in your render I would work on breaking up the silhouette a little bit.

You are right and thank you for your critiques . I took a different direction later because the displacement map for it was killing my machine. I will post an update tomorrow .
