Massive moons* and space ships. I started this on Monday, then went to see Star Trek last night... so it ended up rather more 'space'y than I'd originally intended! Damn, that was a fun movie; I think I'll be in a scifi mood for a fair while yet.

*Cue appropriate Star Wars quote.

WOW what imagination and vision you have.
This pic just jumps out at you and commands praise.
Where do I start? well the designs are so original, I love the idea of the ship taking elements from the sea like the fins, really works well with the rest of the piece. The waves look fantastic and having those stands coming out from the water, leading the way to the moon adds an almost cold, creepy even alone feeling that maybe this moon is empty with no life or maybe something is waiting for our pilot to arrive. The colouring is outstanding has a real realistic feel to it and the sense of depth and distance works fantastic. ^^

I truely think a fantastic piece with great detail and vision, just love it

Well, this is one of the best spaceship deviations I've ever seen.

Amazing work, the concept is quite original, surfing over a sea with an alien sky. And what a thing to surf on, love the sails and shape of that ship, looks like it could be a luxury cruise liner of the future.

The ocean is the most impressive part, the way you captured the waves across the ships path, the crashing waves against the platforms and whitewater under the ship is perfect.

I can see it now, a civilisation that evolved on a watery moon orbiting an artificial planet and built these ships and platforms after salvaging tech from that planet.


This fills me with so many ideas and concepts, absolutely love it

Awesome. Is it really the moon or just a HUMONGOUS ship?

It's not just that you've created a mere beautiful spacecraft, you've created an incredible world that your spacecraft inhabits so beautifully. Those arms that reach out of the crashing waves, the massive orbital body just over the horizon, the way the craft so seamlessly skids across the surface of the sea, it's a truly spectacular sight to behold.

Your colouring is flawless, your scaling is perfect and the end result is simple excellence indeed. I would love to know more about this world and this spacecraft if you have any more information to share

I noticed that it looks really similar to your "Stalagmite City" piece... Just how it's set up.

Anyways, you're an amazing artist.
