Description
Backstory:There is a tradition that dates back several hundreds years for each graduating class of newly minted fighter pilots. After the completion of graduation ceremonies, each pilot immediately boards his jet and flies through what is known as The Arch of Protection.No one knows who the first pilot to do this was, or exactly how the tradition started, but flying through the Arch was said to offer protection and safety for fighter pilots while on patrol.
Done with Vue 10, 3ds Max, Geocontrol2, and Photoshop. Textures on the planet from NASA: visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.phpβ¦

Hey there Darink,
As you may have heard before your Art is off da hook yawwwwl !Β Just love the way you craete worlds within worlds,,,we must talk.
Also a huge fan of Mandel Werk & certain others in the community of Deviant.
I'm wanting to ask you if we can collaborate on a few art pieces, where i am going to be shot with a
fabulous Fashion Photographer , and the thematic is futurism and......a glimpse for the future, i would like to incorporate you art with mine, as your art would be the appropriate backdrop for the Galaxy Goddess . Mizz Venus Virgin Tomarz who will be the realistic character. So the idea is to blend 3D digital art with realistic still high end fashion photo stills and to come up with an amazing result piece we both can be proud of a a collaboration.
I would also like to assist in the promotion of our artist talents as part of my new almost built website (currently in progress)
with links to you if required and full name creditation just as my team will that are working with me to get my series of conceptual shoots executed. I'm setting the direction , but i am very excited on sharing the direction with you as a mixed medium.
The question will be what is real and what is surreal ? that is my art to create !
chazzzzzz
Venus Virgin Tomarz (facebook its my real name toooooo)

An to this world, the place looks like sites of the red stone structures of Utah. The idea of fighter jets flying though this seems like it be daunting, but I figure impressive to witness. Again, another impressive landscape to witness, and the form well done I do say, it is nice work in this design.

Pretty cool archway, looks like something out of star wars. I think it could use some dynamic lighting somewhere, I don't know :d.
