Artist's Comments

wow. the response to this piece has been quite overwhelming - in the last couple of day it has doubled my view count all by itself - i guess you guys really like blue.
also it has been nominated and approved for a Daily Deviation (my first DA award) by alyn and smashmethod - cheers guys :)

the fame seems to be rubbing off too, as Deathwish has reported a notable increase in site traffic.

i'd just like to fully credit this scene, as artwork for Angels Fall First is often the product of a succession of talents rather than a solo effort - the USN (blue lazor) ships bar the hind were modelled by myself, the Hind and Iret class small craft were built by Deathwish from concepts by Orbluviion - the AISN morningstar class cruiser in the center of the shot was concepted by Daemoria and built by FailureCrusade, and all the ships were composed in the scene and textured by me. the dawnstar (just out of shot, bottom right) is entirely mine. he ishtar class siege frigates (red lazor, top and middle) are entirely by UltimateBadAss.

thanks for your ongoing praise and apprecieation of this piece, we all appreciate it.

Composition gets a little marred by all the stuff going on at the bottom. Youre starting to reach an incredible level of professionalism otherwise, love the colours and polished feel. Do you do alot of your lighting effects like the lasers in Photoshop?

i was just wondering:is this a PS-composited render, or is it a digital painting?then i noticed the 'category' , but it still feels like a Feng Zhu-inspired concept design which is not a bad thing at all:)

OMG my hind looks so sexy in there, thanks so much for rendering her in such a cool scene :D
:iconstrangelet:
thankyou man :)

no the lazers are volume lighting fx in cinema 4d, my main app. i buff them up with PS by using the luminance channel on color dodge (i get all the channels rendered seperately in one pass and saved as a PS file, nice touch)

the hardest thing about this image was judging how much detail to trash with the blurring, fogging and shine
