wow there's quite the sense of movement, here!

Aaaaand now I have to play Einhander again. :P

Really cool. And it gives some nostalgic vibes to me too (space combat VG/Anime)

Looking at this now, it reminds me of box art for model aircraft or something. Now I want to buy a model or play a space game :P

1st that pops on mind is Einhänder

ChrisGryph, above, also said that. I had to go look it up and I can see that, cause of that weapon under the ship. I need some space games in my life. My fav. all time is still Project Sylpheed on the 360. Wish they remake that one

( here's something for you that I hope you haven't seen before.. very much in line with the lovely piece of artwork you did above..
enjoy!

Oh, nice call, will look for it. Nowadays I scratch my itch with Ace Combat when got time. But miss the ones space themed.

Epic :D:D:D !!!

"YANKEE ZULU 1 DEFENDING!!!!!" *Pops flares, 9 Gs*

"Gah!!! Still defending!!!" More flares

"We have enough special effects budget for one more set of flares!!!!! Defending!!!!!"

Hear about the F-16 pilot in the first gulf war that dodged 6 SAM's without working countermeasures?

"All pilots to your stations, I repeat, all pilots to your stations!"

"Bandits 12:00 low! Target in sight! Fox 2! Target destroyed"
"Maverick One, bandit on your tail, take evasive action!"
"Copy that, base!"

Love these sci-fi battles. Badass piece!

Frickin amazing, tiger :3

Hot

I feel tha th is going to be one of those horribly underappreciated pictures in FA. After all, there is an impressive use of colour theory wi the desert and the sky and wi the clouds and the spaceships, something that is repeated wi the missiles and smoke clouds. There is also how the subtle blue tint on the spaceships fit wi the cool colours of the sky and windows while contrasting in luminosity. Of course, I really like how shiny the spaceships are.

Another thing I like is the blur from the smoke clouds, exhaust, and lasers giving the picture a sense of motion. The lasers, exhaust, and explosions and look neat because of their bright, almost neon colours, especially contrasting wi the generally dark spaceships. The spaceship being shot and estroyed... you actually had me feel bad. I commend the interactivity.

I wonder what is that sphere in the background, though.

Excellent show of dynamics in still art ^^

Amazing art :).
