Description

Months later... she had luck. Incredible luck. While her original emergency call stayed unheard, a space carrier stopping nearby received the weak automated signal of her backpack. Following the spacemen's charter -and the small price of all mining rights she gathered in the asteroids of Gom'Shar- the merchants decided to help her out. Well, that's the way it goes...

Well, somehow I felt the need to complete the Swamp Planet story. Thus I went to work, created the Sweeping Crane (my first SciFi construction vehicle :-), took the good ol' Manta, returned to Swamp Planet... and hope you like the result!

I like it! Sci-fi is my thing too. My only nit-pick might be the fog. The trees in the distance look a little bright-- darker fog might fix it.

And the moral of the story is always take your emergency beacon wherever you go.

Very original models of cranes - Very good job! It was good to see this continuation of swamp story which is one of the best SF pictures in Renderosity Gallery. I would only suggest to experiment a little with lighting - it is impossible to obtain realistic lighting of foggy day with only one light and lot of ambient - tak a look on my tutorial about lighting (on my website) it may be helpful :-)))
