Yeah, that's really, really cool. What did you use to create it? A 3D program?

That is pretty darn awesome. I like that you uploaded the grayscale image that points out all the ship's features as well; they complement each other nicely.

Hi guys,
And thanks again!
For this particular image, I used a 3D block-out (done in 3ds Max). I used it to establish the angle and the lighting conditions. After that, I took the 3D render, and did the image in Photoshop. As a rough breakdown -- 30% done in 3D, 70% done in 2D.
The big reason for using 3D was actually the fact that I wanted to create a few other renders (the technical schematics, and a simplified 3-view image as well). Having the rough block-out in 3D really save s a lot of time when you want to do mutliple "shots" of the ship. It is perfectly possible to do it all in 2D (matter of fact, it is more fun and pleasant) but 3D is a great shortcut, leaves no room of inconsistencies, and, ultimately, I don't want my 3D to get too rusty :)
As I wote in the genral discussion thread - this ship has to be one of the most beautiful, well-designed, star destroyer type vessels I have ever seen. Your work is amazing.
I placed an invitation on that thread of discussion to ask you to consider joining the Subspace Communications Network ( SCN ) group of artists. www.subspace-comms.net
I love this picture, it's so well done :) It looks extremely realistic, one would think it was ready to fly off of the screen. *laughs softly*

Americans have a way of taking HP2-Z05 life for granted and not loving earth in the way that it should and takes things from earth that handicap it into a helpless place 70-620 without the resources that it needs to come out to be a great and powerful place that it has the 642-825 ability to be. The world has the ability to be a full and plenty place of greatness in an economic way aswell as a place mentally sound due to the help of Native American care 117-101 towards mother nature.

It looks brilliant, a perfectly ocean creature inspired design that fits totally for a MonCal cruiser. Such a shame that centerpoint scrapped that beauty.
