Description This gave me nightmares.

It's been sitting in my computer for...3 months,I think?
Every time I tried to finish it,some shit pops out and kicks me back,to the beginning!Photoshop freezes,power goes of(and I didn't save),the computer just shuts down!And all of this when I start working on this here!I actually turned into a Hulk the last time PS crashed and I didn't save.
But,enough about that-it's finished now,and even if still needs some work on it,I just can't find the motivation to do it.
So it stays as it is,like it or not.

This scene represents the arrival of the Enai's-their "first" contact with the Ares.After seeing that they don't represent any threat to them,they decided to help them.The Ares lived in awful conditions,and the Enai's helped them rebuild themselves.For this,the Ares chose to believe that the Enai's are gods- more specifically,that they were sent by the God-Daimon Noma,who is actually their emperor.

The inspiration for the ship came from Star Wars-the Super Star Destroyer Executor.Also,the scene came to my mind while I was listening to Hans Zimmer's Mermaids [link]
This music would be perfect for this scene-just imagine;
A boy,looking up in the sky,see's something odd,and calls for his mother.He pools her to the cliff,and after staring into the clouds,sees something moving above them.He raises his finger and (music at 4:24) a huge ship rips the sky,descending slowly towards them,as they watch in awe.

Ok,enough with this-hope you like it,and I'd also like to thank for his advice's and critics.

Laslo, this is totaly amazing!

Let me ask you something. Is there a possibility to use this image in my indie RPG book and give you the credits in the beggining? This illustration is perfect for us. Let me know if we can make this partnership. Just put Arkladom on google so you can see the nice art we are developing with other partners.

Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

Reminds me of the beginning of Prometheus.

Aside that I love this - minimal visual, right glare, omninous shadow with bugger all detail. Yet it evokes mystery, curiosity, and maybe fear.

This is stunning stuff and i can understand your RAHHHHHH!!!! about this - been there myself, but the result is spectacular!

Am inspired!

It reminds me of the latest Makoto Shinkai's movie, because of the sort of "runes" on the ship...

LasloLF In reply to redstarone193 [2012-06-20 00:54:31 +0000 UTC]

Nope-I only watched SG1.
Started watching "Atlantis" after that,and after a couple of episodes stopped completely...It just wasn't as good as SG1(to me,at least).
Haven't watched any other Stargate since then.

I haven't watched it.
Yet.

I've looked it up-the PSD file was created on Tuesday, April 03, 2012, 5:05:06 PM...And finished Yesterday, June 19, 2012, 7:36:12 PM.Not exactly 3 months,but close enough.
