Carlsberg dont do Sci-fi battles but if they did they would have probably done the battle of Hoth... What imagination on the part of George Lucas, to stage a sci-fi battle, and 1/3 of a movie away from the home of sci-fi, space! The clever use of dis-association helps drive home the impact of the battle of Hoth. Futuristic machinery coupled with an enviromnent we can all relate to makes for a visual feast. I always wanted to paint something along a similar vein, a dramatic battle with plenty of detail and action all fighting for space on a crowded canvas. What you see here is a WIP depicting the rebel defences being preped ready for the approaching walkers the calm before the storm kind of thing. I doubt I will ever get this finished due to my career/job situation (I need a new one...). But try and imagine this pic with about 400% more detail in the mid ground and your on your way to seeing the completed image.
