Description
Defensive quad cannons scan the skies for enemy aircraft as fighters form up below the mother ship.To orient yourself, you're from above looking down. Note the launch crew on the left catwalk and striped platform.
The fighters are attached to portable launchers that transport them down an open shaft. Launchers can pitch
up and down and pivot to provide multidirectional launch capability. Also note other fighters in hangar bay, (upper left)
For variety, I created a standard fighter and a heavy armored version(right aircraft).
Sketch and final rendering done in pscs2.

Do your works start out as pencil drawings or ar they completely created digitally?

Before, i used to do my artwork in pencil. I would constantly change the design and i would use
a lot of paper. It got so time consuming that I completely switched to digital. From sketch to
final rendering is now done digitally.

Ciao!
Woa - this picture is breathtaking!
What can I say? Well, I guess there's nothing that you did not hear yet. So... just for the record:
Very nice perspective - makes the picture interesting to look at because one has to figure it out (thanks for the comment there!). In order to figure it out, one realizes the details and the structures. In that way, it becomes even more interesting.
That's what I like the most, I guess: It's not a "seen it all at first glance"-thing!
Keep it up, Miou Q.

Thank you very much. You are correct. At first glance, many viewers think the jets are pointing up.
And after looking a little more, they realized they are looking down and the jet are parallel to the earth.

Awesome perspective man! It took me a second to realize that I'm supposed to be looking out of the bottom of the bay, I thought it was a straight forward shot.

Whoa wicked imagination at work there, the scene really lets you imagine some big fat spaceship with lots of little fighters dropping out of the bottom and flying off at speed to intercept enemy forces!! The extra people standing around are great too.

thank you so much. the main purpose of the people in the artwork was to show viewers(like yourself) how to look, in this case, downward. thanks again!

Very cool concept! I briefly wondered how those fighters would launch vertically before I realized the real orientation - very nice! The fighter designs are especially cool here.

Awesome, the colour development is great, the plain blacks against that really textured sky are a great touch.

Dude, you're ability to create life-like scenes like this astounds me. Any real art that comes out of me is in the form of line-art and sketches. I'm pretty sure I couldn't even Concieve something this complex. Very impressive indeed.

hey, thanks! i know, i know about the upper right. haha. i just got so worn out doing this i just let it go. if i had decided to put something there, it would have take another few days...and more RAM. thanks again and your new work is amazing. i was thinking, what if you had some wind blowing their clothes around it would give the artwork more life...just a thought.
