Description

The design of "Starship Epiphany" is based on one created by space artist Robert McCall for his 1991 painting, "Valley of a Billion Stars". McCall's painting can be seen on page 111 of "The Art of Robert McCall: A Celebration of Our Future in Space", published in 1992 by Bantam. "Starship Epiphany" was modeled and rendered using TrueSpace 6.6. The background came from a Hubble Space Telescope website. The running lights and engine exhaust were added using Universe Images Creator. The texture used for the hangar bay doors on the underside of the vessel was kindly provided by fellow Renderosity artist Django. While I perceive McCall's spaceship design as a large exploratory vessel perhaps hundreds of meters long, I believe it could also be interpreted as a sizable interstellar probe directed by a sentient computer. Robert McCall is of my two favorite space artists / speculative spaceship design heroes.
