Description
A new Scout takes a break in the shade of his ship and contemplates the adventure before him.
This is the kind of SF I grew up on, Poul Anderson, Andre Norton, and, to some degree, Robert Heinlien. And of course GDW's classic Traveller RPG. I wanted to try to capture some of that Interstellar Romance and wanderlust they all portrayed so well.
The image features Uzilite's ultra-Cool Hardcore clothing set, and The Guard Walls and Olympus Mons from Daz. Atmospheric haze and effects in Photoshop CS, and I built the starship in Lightwave.
Thanks for taking a look

Andre Norton Rules! Great mood impact like the old days of wonder and romance! Literally, the sky was the limit then. You captured the feel of that elusive something I seek in images as well. Great work!

Outstand POV and lighting - especially for being all D|S. The atmospheric haze is perfect and the warm light on the face gives such a wonderful sense to the whole image. Love the bow shocks on the Type S, as well. Nice touch.

The starship is remarkably like vehicles proposed as waveriders - hypersonic lifting body vehicles operating at mach 10+ powered by supersonic ram jets (scramjets). I wish they were possible and economical with current technology. A wonderful representation of a sci-fi scene. well done.
