Description


A pair of my newer patrol ships have taken out their first opponent, who is not very happy with this new development, to be sure. This was really meant to be just another quick piece while I plan something a bit more ambitious. There's a few things I'm not real happy with on this one, but I didn't want to go back and re-do the darn thing again. Besides, it's late and I'm tired. The two ships doing the shooting are too small, it's hard to see them, and while the target being up front and central is good, there's some things about the explosion effects that I just can't quite get to my satisfaction. However, after 37 layers I'm tired of trying to fix it. As usual, the ship models are my own, made and rendered in Bryce 6. The background starscape and the effects are all photoshop. Thanks for taking a look folks, and have a fun weekend!

Nice! The only thing off are those little yellow sprinkles... too grainy. Maybe blur that layer?

Excellent models and a great scene even if you think it needs more work. };-)

Yeah, it looks like game over for the intruder. Ejection seats aren't much good in space.... I'd say the effects here are pretty darn awesome! All 37 layers worth! Trying to realize an explosion in space is kind of a bugger for sure.... With no gravity or atmosphere to provide resistance, stuff would go everywhere, and that's on top of any forward momentum of the ship. I think you've pulled it off quite well, my friend!

remember, you are in space so there is no air to flare the flame of the explosion. Explosions will be minimal--as they rupture the hull, they will be snuffed by the vacuum.

Don't worry so much, your pic is really beautiful. The small size of the two attackers show their power better, and the explosion is awesome, for sure! And its bright colors jump to the eyes above all those sepia and bray tones. Well done!

I think you dissatisfaction is more due to your weariness at the time, rather than to any defect in the results. It looks excellent to me. Think the attacking ships are fine where they are. Being closer wouldn't appreciably improve anything to my mind. Bet if you'd stored this on your computer for three months, then pulled up and looked at it, you'd say something like; "God, I'm good!" heh.

I agree that your sense of dissatisfaction might be more an artifact of time than any flaw in this image. This is a stunning image and I like those spherical guys in the background...they're very much something I'd get into in a massive way. As always, your whole piece works well, and I'm always taken by your backgrounds, the ambient environment of your space scenes. So much better than Star Wars! I love the explosion effect. I don't see a problem with it, though I will say that due to the fact that this is taking place IN space, it might be kinda cool to see a few bits of superheated shrapnel flying out, particularly in the ship's direction of travel. The whole idea of that in and of itself adds a bit of extra oomph to this picture since the round guys are shooting the blowing-up guy from behind. VERY SMART!!! EXTREMELY SMART since he's already heading away from them. You never wanna shoot an opponent head on in the vacuum of space, after all, because if you do, you suddenly have THOUSANDS of aggressive targets heading at you rather than just one. Your seriously cool guys shooting the not so happy guy seem fully aware of that and that's what I love...implication. So, all in all, this image rocks. I'm off to go help Corey so I'll be on line to catch up a bit later. But I have to say that this scene rocks and I'd LOVE to know the story behind it; and be warned, I might want to WRITE one! Your stuff always makes me want to write. Great work here. I love it. And though the ship in front is in the process of becoming a debris field, I like it a lot! The ones shooting it are even better whether they're ships or drones. They're way cool.

STOP! When you lose sight of how good a thing you're creating, back off. Chip has eloquently expressed how good this is - believe him.
