Description Heya,

I can finally post this one!
It's one of 4 paintings that I did for a client from the US. He is an actor named Matthew Ewald and has become a very close friend.
My work on this project began almost 2 years ago! Not many pieces were created during this time, but some of the most time-consuming ones I ever did! It's been sheer fun up to this day.
So far, it's a project in developement, a Sci-Fi/Horror saga called 'The Lost Landers' all written by Matthew.

This painting depicts a key confrontation scene in this tale.

It was meant to resemble New York, I checked some reference to get it all right. Everything except for the ship was painted in PS 7.
Inititally, the ship had a different design but was changed in the process for different reasons.
The new ship design, an alien tech-modified, highly-maneuverable Space Shuttle with the catchy name 'Astronautica' was modelled and rendered before I placed it into the scene.

Also, you should know that this painting is pretty old already. Any resemblance to Cloverfield is coincidental because that film wasn't even released by the time this was done!

So, I hope you enjoy!
Another painting will follow!

Well, sorry to be vague, but there are tons of things I like. I can't really describe the things too well

The whole argument of "Oh, it's a copy of Cloverfield!" Is just plain stupid, Godzilla was the first (actually, maybe there was one before him? LOL) Point being: Whoever is accusing of copying cloverfield... common people, that movie did nothing revolutionary, it was just an exciting film.

So, with that being said, this is an awesome work! Love the detail you put in and I love that blue grid you have in the sky.

ha, you're right! Godzilla was first! Interesting how you actually called it a 'grid'. That is exactly the term we use for that!

Well, Grid seemed as close as I could get to describing.

I agree its an awesome concept for a video game.

well lets start, I really think that you're outdone yourself.
the space ship, right leg, wings, and tail all making an {how do I say it} allusion of movement sorta' speak.
keep it up !!!!

I wish I could model and render stuff, it'd be a great help.
