The Murder of Dr. Suong - Space Crimes
3D Render by slofkoskyJohn’s jaw tightened as he took in the scene and kneeling next to his friend that lay motionless. This wasn’t just a crime scene this was personal. Dr. Suong’s body lay sprawled on the cold floor, arms flung wide as if he’d made one last, futile attempt to shield himself from whoever had come for him. And now John was left with only questions.
Then from the edge of his vision, a flicker of movement broke through the shadows. Instincts kicking in, he stood quickly, gun drawn, his grip steady as he aimed into the dimness. His pulse raced but his gaze held firm ready to face the unknown.
“Madeline...” the tension eased as he exhaled her name, relief softening his voice, but he kept his guard up and his eyes tracing her silhouette. She stood half-hidden beneath the sputtering glow of dying electronics, dark hair in a mess and damp strands clinging to her cheek. Her gaze was steady, unreadable behind her glasses, catching a faint glint from the dim lab lights. She didn’t flinch under his scrutiny, her posture calm, though he could feel something deeper simmering beneath the surface.
John watched, unable to pull his gaze away. Even in the chaos, she carried herself with that cool, deliberate grace, as if she belonged in the shadows and knew every secret they held. She knelt beside a half-melted console, her fingers brushing the debris with a reverence he hadn’t expected.
NOTES:
--------------
This is pretty much how the book begins and the story unfolds from here. I've worked out most of the timelines for the overarching story, included some of the sub-plots and a few flashbacks will be crucial to tell the whole story. I'm making forward movement on the novel idea and hope I can keep the momentum going.
This particular scene is a re-work of one I did over five years ago but altered to include Madeline for better flow. I needed to make John standing with gun drawn but loved the crouch stance too much to let it go.

Terrific atmosphere, wonder if a worm's perspective might add to the suspense.

Space Crimes!!!!
Top one looks more atmospheric, with that angel, better reflections on the floor. Looks stormy outside those doors. Better Angel when comparing them.
Madeline looks better with as you said with "Dark hair in a mess"
Nice writing too, held my attention and I could picture every detail from your writing. Painting a picture in one's mind is an art form
you done it brilliantly.
Fantastic SK, looking forward to seeing more
I got no more rocket boosts until next month, I'll be back.

Thu, Nov 21, 2024Hey thank you so very much CosmicEnvisions! OH yeah! Now that I look at your gallery, you absolutely floor me with your creations. Just so incredible with such vivid detail and colors. I seem to live in the darker color realms so seeing your works are like looking at the beautiful sky filled with clouds and magic.
Excellent art! And a story to boot! You're the full package, slofkosky. The first image is definitely the one to go with. It's atmospheric and stands out more as an example of film noir.
Just let me say I may use a story or two to supplement my art. I'm just saying this so I can beat you to the punch on calling me a copycat. So there!

Thu, Nov 21, 2024That is so very kind of you to say kmw! With the stories, I seem to re-write them 1000 times even when I go back and look at past posts. But I'm trying to break that habit as I write a longer novel based upon Space Crimes.
Writing stories for your images is awesome! I would never think you or anyone a copycat as the image comes to life with background and context for them. To me, I love it when I see that people do this so I look forward to seeing the stories my new friend.

Thu, Feb 13Hey thank you so much for everything Kevin! The lighting still didn't turn out like how I wanted it to but I'm very pleased with it never the less. Thanks again my friend!
Ummm, Madeline . . . I believe we're going to need you to provide us with an alibi for your whereabouts recently. Top render, messy-haired image gets my vote as well. Excellent work!
