HW: Kushan Capital Ships

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.
