Artist's Comments

This is the last bigger picture I've been working on in the past weeks. No, actually it was pretty much finished two weeks ago, but I decided to let it rest for a while to see if I could find anything to improve. I didn't (or, more acurately, I was too lazy to look), an have therefore labelled it 'finished'.

Description:
It's a piece of fan art dedicated to the great game of Homeworld and the people who made it. I love the designs of that game, I love the environments and I love the mood in the game.
What you can see on the painting is a Kushan Assault Frigate (the big thing to the left), another of the same kind (to the right), an Ion Cannon Frigate (top), a destroyer (top right), a carrier (bottom) and asteroids (everywhere). All ships are paintovers based on several screenshots from the game (I had to cheat because I have much yet to learn about perspective) but with higher detail and partially based on HW concept art.

Tools:
Photoshop 7.0, Wacom Graphire 3.

Time:
No clue. Countless hours, coming in 5-10 hour clusters spread across three months.

Comments:
Note to self: less purple next time. Oh, but I am pretty pleased with the result, considering I have much more skills in rendering organic shapes than blocky metal warships hanging in space.
Finally, thanks to the frequenters of the Relicnews forums who kept me going and provided me with both compliments and critique.

Yeah, that turned out pretty damn good. It was my wallpaper on this machine for, I think 2 straight weeks. (That's a pretty long time as far as wallies go on this desktop.)

The quality on the ships impresses me, so great job. :D

Years are like fractals. The more you've seen of them, the more you appreciate the details of each one, rather than how many you've seen.
Ah! The wonders of Homeworld...I need to do more fan art for that. And for someone who prefers organic shapes to machines (like myself, for one), you did an awesome job! Nice perspective there, and very neat colors. I think the purple is fine. My only beef is that the distant "nebula" area looks curved...like some kind of wall in space. But that's beside the point, considering the rest rules. And where have you been for so long?

92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% who still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature.
I was actually thinking about it as a kind of wall, wrapping around the scene. Bit unusual thought, maybe.
I've been... around. Been busy. Just couldn't get myself to finish or upload anything for a while.

Thanks; I think I've supplied quite a lot of people from the RB with a wallpaper with this. Wait... yep, I'm even using it myself at the moment.

Thanks!
(Holy hell, it took me a whole week just to type 'thanks'?)
