Description ~atomskmaster6 Contacted me asking for another commission, which I gladly accepted. Here is the result.

The general looks down at the fleet, which is going through docking maneuvers with a station over mars. Hot tea anyone?

Nice to see someone who knows their critique, and doesn't taint it with opinionated style, good valid points there

Much of it I could attribute to my still novice knowledge of proper space lighting, so I'll work on that. Though as a few have pointed out now, there are general value issues.

This is a beautiful piece of artwork! Absolutely fantastic!
Would I be able to use it as a reference picture on my website? I am currently writing a novel and this suits one of the factions perfectly. Full acknowledgements would be made and a link to this picture would be posted.

You'd have to ask the commissioner for permission to use the art.

Nice work!! Love the hot, red tea. Those space docks only appear to surround Mars in their "crescent" because of our viewing angle, right? It looks to me like the station is orbiting a great distance from the planet, not encircling it, as dukeleto seems to think- in that case, the station is just fine.

The pointed design seems to suggest that you drew inspiration from the Star destroyers of Star Wras.

Am I correct?

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Thejboy88 [2011-05-01 02:07:25 +0000 UTC]

The commissioner wanted a mix between starwars and my own design style, so yea.

For story on these you'd have to ask the commissioner. I know some of it is used in a forum RP.

So good, id love to know how you do it.
Do you free-and or use straight lines?

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Supermenchin [2011-01-29 00:48:38 +0000 UTC]

I used line tools to help a bit with defining the edges of the viewing deck, but otherwise it's all freehand.

Supermenchin In reply to Shimmering-Sword [2011-01-29 14:39:26 +0000 UTC]

no doubt. Im just starting to learn to use gimp/photoshop, and i do most of my work freehand. I do a lot of pencil drawing then clean-up. It has just taken me awhile to get anything ready, but i should have something up soon.
