Description
A recent quick concept commission of a space battle. All done from scratch in Photoshop. Done in under 8 hours. This image is not available to buy as it's copyrighted by the client.Related content

Unfortunately it's not available to use, as it was done for a paying client. Sorry about that

Your explosions are not that accurate.. Also there would be little to no fire... unless you are in a medium
otherwise... GREAT IMAGE!

The fireballs are most likely being fueled by the oxygen from inside the ships. In that case you'd get fireballs, just short-lived ones.

In space, no one can hear your epic explosions!

Very true, no noise in space at all...

It sure is a battle.Β but The ships them selvs all look simaler though.Β so they all probably the same race.

Almost, 3 of them are attacking the mothership.

And then they will go after the brother and sister ships, right?

Very realistic, and at the same time it is nerve rattling scene.
Those same "dark realism" and "dark" realism both add to the emotions of the image too! 
Well done!

Do you mix it with 3D-models (of some of the ships) or are you actually divine so you do not need any and just use the polygon select tool and perspective guidelines to emulate the effect?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't use any 3D software, as I tried but ran out of patience. So, yes, I use the lasso tools and I get the perfect perspective by using the vanishing point tool in the photoshop filter menu. The tool allows for really accurate grids to paint over, or even paste shapes into. Especially helpful with text and curved objects. However, the grid only makes flat planes of course, rather than spherical planes.

Ooh, divine
The result is great.

last words of the foreground vessel's XO: "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!"

My thoughts exactly!!!!!

Despite their 'tin-foil' reputation, I'd prefer something small and nimble. Like the equivalent of a Baleo submarine. Hardy, small crew, armed and with history.
