Description
My newest shot of the U.S.S. America to grace my desktop. I don't even want to know how much time I actually spent on this and the image of the ship isn't even fully complete. I used the original, but blew it up much larger so I could do finer detail. The original was done in MSPaint. This one was done using Paint Shop Pro 8. Eventually, I'll do some more realistic shading. Compared to the older drawing, which was done by digitally altering a picture of the ship this was based on, the EDF Andromeda from Starblazers, I've made this look much more like the plastic model I built this ship from, including getting the camo pattern correct. You can also see photos of the model in my gallery.

Image updated 6-20-06. I've cleaned up the image a little more and added some light shading, just to give it a little more character. The background is a little more like the original after I cleaned up the tiny image I had of Earth. I'm especially proud of the new details on the Ion Lock-in Cannon muzzles. Still a work in progress - when I'm done, I'll post a non-desktop image like the original.
