Description
Roughly based on the Wing Commander universe.I loved the games (played them all) and the movie was awesome in my books as well. So this was kind of overdue.
There is not really a story to this; just a Banshee fighter wing on patrol and approaching a gravity well (or maybe a jump point into the unknown...).

Background: Textured environment (starfield), plus digital painting. My work. Thank you Google Earth for the planet/moon textures.
Meshes: Banshee fighter by Alan Hart.
Composition: Scene and lighting setup in LW, final composition in PS, including all FX.
Wing Commander © Origin Systems Inc., All Rights Reserved.
Original size: 4750x2250, cropped, including frame with a record breaking (for me) 157 layers and a 1.9GB PSD file!

Well, that is a great game, too! Why not? Wing Commander Privateer is a very similar concept, such as Darkstar One.

I may need you to draw some sci-fi comics for me.
Send me a note with your commission price.

Thank you, but unfortunately I don't do commissions. I'm not a professional artist and I have no experience with comics. Additonally I don't draw and most of my works are personally inspired which is where the fun comes from.
So, sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do that.

Great! Love the pic. I used to play Wing Commander. Glad to see there are still fans.

Thank you and yes, most definitely. Especially since sites like GOG.com have re-released (at least a few of) them DRM free and ready for current operating systems!
Although I certainly don't mind some good old dabbling in DOS myself!

Really phenomenal perception of depth in this one!
I am truly loving the multitude of creation here, so much action, and so well portrayed!
At this rate, we'll have to get you a more intense of a machine to do more epic, and more awesome pieces with...cuz...if this is only limited by the abilities of the machine you're on, I am in FULL support of unhinging those limitations!

And no, it just requires more patience, that's all. If anything I should be able to muster that by now. 
But hey, the harder you work, the more rewarding the result.
