I love how hostile this ship looks. Normally the cruisers look so majestic, but this makes it looks as lethal as the fans know they are. I hope in the future JMS goes back and re-releases all the shows with updated CG like this. It will help them age nicely.

I think it says a lot that the fan art is now actually better than the tv show... And I love the tv show

I so love Minbari made ships. The only thing that they can't beat are Vorlon and Shadow ships. Great work on the modeling.

I'd definatly take pointers from you, my greatest weaknesses are 1)i dont take my art serious enough... hehe 
i use 3D studio max and Lightwave before, however I still dont have a clue and I tend to lose my patience with 3D faster than 2D, in my quarter being here in art college i have to choose one or the other and of course i'll chose 2D, and hopefully, when I go live in England a few years after i graduate I plan to go take 3D in another college up there. But if there is any tips you can tell me now, PLEASE i'd greatly appreciate it!

Well, the big difference between 2D and 3D is technique IMO... You see, i'm a horrible drawer... but I'm a good technician and mathematician. In the picture above I've used various tools more or less randomly, it's only when i rendered it that I observed a head shape in the middle, then only I decided of the orientation of the picture... For space ship pictures it's very easy car it's technical and I've a lot reference for it (from SciFi shows)... So I would say that the first step to become good at 3D is learning a lot of techniques...
