it's the desert, not sure they have a ton of choice. I guess it could look like Jodorowsky did it instead, that would be visually appealing but otherwise terrible.
I'm just surprised they didn't go for a deep blue sky to contrast against the yellow and brown tones of the desert.
It's not Earth.
but it has a human breathable atmosphere so the clear sky should still be pretty dang blue.
Just a biy of yellowish dust in the air would make the sky a bit green. Happens in earth all the time. Especially near sunset, when scattering shifts to a lower wavelength spectrum.
Go look up some stills from (or watch) Lawrence of Arabia. There's a lot of visual range even in a desert!
someone made a good point below, this isn't on Earth so should we expect it to look exactly like earth?
no, and I'm not saying we should. I'm saying that a harsh desert setting still leaves a lot of room for visual dynamism, and that Lawrence of Arabia does a good job of showing that.
It makes sense that the developed areas of Arrakis be near the spice sands, which should be vast expanse of dunes. But the exposed rock of desert is often quite beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing it, as those places are where the Fremen settlements are.
hissing, biting :screm3:
desert is not ugly or monotone :edgeworth-pissed:
Dune is not set on an earth desert, it's set on a planet where water is literally imported from offworld. It's a fierce inhospitable planet with more in common with mars than with Arizona or Arabia. The people wear utilitarian stillsuits that collect piss and sweat to convert back to water.
🤓 excuse me the LORE demands the setting look UGLY and WASHED OUT
The story is mostly about surviving on this planet. Did you watch the movie?
My HISTORICALLY ACCURATE
ALIEN DESERT WORLD
It's not about accuracy, it's about themes and world building. It also has a payoff.
