Terrifying story. We never know when to leave well enough alone.

Check my gallery. There's a folder specifically for the ongoing Fafnir story line. Check it regularly or deviantwatch me. I will try to put in at least one piece a week.

Things are going to go south.
Reminds me of the time I helped with the reactivation of a sleeping ancient war machine.
*Fingers scars*
Yeah, that turned out well.
Looks great and kudos on the story.

Reminds me of the old "Terran Trade Authority" paintings.

Really good, but one point is there are places with very high contrast - such as the bow of the ship against the background.
The texture suggests a detailed surface, but the edge is knife-crisp, which spoils the illusion of the texture.

It took me a bit to understand what you were saying, but you're referring to the bow of the Archer (ship in the bottom corner) right?
Yeah, I see that. The bow itself is a big launch bay and it's just got a really sharp edge to it. Maybe I need to go in there and add some greeble or something to break up that straight line. The whole front of the ship is like that. I did it for stylistic reasons, but I guess breaking up that straight edge might be a good idea.

Very dramatic scene. The color, lighting, and of course the models are all very well done.

Silly monkeys...
all an alien race has to do to garentee victory is put up a large sign saying "Do Not Push This Button"
Fortunately for you humans, aliens are alien, and that applies to you too...
Great render, and I love the story!

Damn impressive. The image is outstanding but I'm always interested in the story behind the scene. I tend to write long descriptions about my own artwork, setting the stage and all. Very cool to see someone do the same and do it extremely well. 👍: 0 ⏩: 0

It's actually rare that I design a big ship. I usually make them about the size of WWII or modern day vessels, just a shade larger.
That way, when I DO design a big ship, it has the appropriate reaction.
But man, Fafnir was fun to design. I haven't done the whole bioorganic look before, and basically modeled it after some kind of trippy bug. I'll do more pics and maybe an ortho shot. I really like the model.
