Description
Sort of further experimentation, sort of revisiting and refining older techniques. This started out as a panoramic render of mars to attempt to better my "Chasm" piece (which I never made available as a print). Then I remembered that due to some faulty machinery, dA withdrew panoramic prints from their lineup. Pity, this coulda looked bitchin'.Anywho, the inspiration is derived from a very very old game I played where you had to race meteors. Obviously, the graphics at that time were lacklustre, but the game was fun (sorta like the original star fox on the nes, y'know... where andross turned out to be a pile of geometric shapes that moved?). So this is a sort of rendition of that with new ideas, such as an sub-terranean civilisation linked through a series of high-speed transportation pipes. There was a plan to have a city in the canyon, but it turned out to be too distracting.
But yeah - intense colours, a new stance on collisions, experimentation with light immersion, and an attempt to nurture a feeling of travel. Hopefully I've learned a few new things from this one, whether you like it or not.
Enjoy.

Looks great, as usual. The meteorite on the right's shadowing looks a bit funny, but the rest is great. I find it rather inspiring that you're still refining and expanding and experimenting with your own technique, even though your work is already amazing. Well done to you sir.

Nice work indeed. You really do feel that sense of exploration and discovery. Those rushing meteors are just too cool.

I love it, looks fast, warm and very intense, the feeling of speed is great, i really can see a very beautyful piece of great Sci-Fi Art.
The Smoke looks somth, but it looks a little empty, maybe a city like the destiny would look very great.

3. that it's a centered piece.
Truly a great piece, i love it. The whole angle makes it alot better as well I think.

Not bad Alyn.. probably would do the work justice with a bigger piece to show more detail.. not too bad though.
