Description
This is an old one I did probably around 2004 of a GVCv Sobek corvette from Volition's FreeSpace 2. The ship was a screen grab I took rendered in game without the use of the FreeSpace community's graphics updates. I then used I think 3 layers to create the nebular with gradated brush strokes in Photoshop. Finally I chopped the ship into three parts and hid them behind the nebula layers using transparency and overlay effects (can’t remember which ones) to make it look like the ship is slowly moving closer through the nebula. My main criticisms here is that 1) I managed to butcher the upper and lower multi part turrets and 2) the image would have benefited from ship fading into the nebular to a greater extent.
