Description

Roughly based on the Wing Commander universe.

I loved the games (played them all) and the movie was awesome in my books as well. So this was kind of overdue.

There is not really a story to this; just a Banshee fighter wing on patrol and approaching a gravity well (or maybe a jump point into the unknown...).

Background: Textured environment (starfield), plus digital painting. My work. Thank you Google Earth for the planet/moon textures.

Meshes: Banshee fighter by Alan Hart.

Composition: Scene and lighting setup in LW, final composition in PS, including all FX.

Wing Commander © Origin Systems Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Original size: 4750x2250, cropped, including frame with a record breaking (for me) 157 layers and a 1.9GB PSD file!

Comments and critique welcome.

Thank you as well to ~TreeClimber for her usual helpful WIP input.

I DO like this drawing a lot! The colors are: SO vibrant! The Luminescent Blue is an exciting touch i think! It reminds me of Particle Physiks! [And some "ion-ic tendency" in that region of Space!] A lovely, genuine and sympathetic drawing from overseer again. Very very professional as we've come to expect.
I like the "movement" in the drawing, too! "Real action" has been obtained [ if i am not mistaken ..] SEEMS, like an "actual event" is taking place ...?! [.. A sort of "timeline" is happening ...!]
Tremendous techniques; a great great result!
Lots of impact and appeal.

Congratulations _ And look forward to seeing more from this [already prolific] artist.
