Description
My second attempt at digital painting and airbrushing. Used photoshop and a MOUSE! Want a tablet so bad..This is based on part of the movie Sunshine(2007). If you've not seen it, you must. It's and awesome film (and don't read the spoiler part). Sunshine is a sci-fi set in the not to distant future, and the story follows the crew on a spaceship, Icarus II, sent from earth to re-start the dying sun with a thermonuclear payload bomb.
For this pic to be explained without spoiling much, these are the suns rays hitting down on the ships shield.
Interestingly, the physicist helping with the real science of the movie, Dr Brian Cox, is a lecturer at my University.

Be nice. I worked hard on this one.
*SUNSHINE spoiler warning*
This depicts the shield of Icarus, soon after Cappa and Kaneda go out onto the shield to fix the plates damaged by the sun. Icarus, the ships computer decides to remove human control when the mission is in danger of failure. The shield was realigned away from the sun so the repairs could be made, but Icarus allows it to be moved back into the correct alignment, meaning Cappa and Kaneda have a race against time to get back behind the shield's rim and back into the ship. This is the moment where the flames from the suns light hit down on the shield, engulfing Kaneda so Cappa can escape. Searle, the ship's doctor is maintaining radio contact with Kaneda, repeating "Kaneda, What can you SEE?".

That moment in the film was absolutely heartbreaking...it haunted me for quite a while. The painting is brilliant! As someone who can't paint worth shit (I really can't, I've tried), it always impresses me when people do such a good job.

it was indeed. i love that film, and from the second i saw it, i wanted to do this. i might do another version from cappa's perspective looking at the flames. such an intense moment. very glad you like it

It was a good movie and I remember the scene, although the bad guy was a bit too imbalanced. ( I mean, come on, how many years had he been on his own and survived?O_o)
Not bad for a mouse attempt at fire. I have also tried to do fire and failed.
