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?".

die into a flame of brighty light... simply incredible...

the most incredible and at the same time real hypotesis was that falling into the sun because its gravity will cause a speed close to speed of light and the time will probably stop... wow.. and how they made this scene with the moment of eternity before the fision explosion... well we could discus about if there are mistakes in interpretation of phisics there.. but for my opinion the film is simply outstanding into a sea of all the same sci fi

p.s. great painting dear
