EDIT: This picture used to look fine to me. Till I got a new monitor, and now suddenly...

SMUDGES.
SMUDGES EVERYWHERE.

I was feeling randomly inspired to draw a sci-fi space scene after looking through =extvia and *ANTIFAN-REAL 's galleries.
Listening to such massive quantities of Homeworld soundtrack music also played a part.

And since I hadn't made a Sci fi pic in awhile, I figured I'd give it a shot. ;D

Took me about 2.5 hours on GIMP.

I haven't ever really made any space-scapes like this before. So I hope it turned out alright.

Harvesting asteroids is hard and dangerous work. Here you can see a mining convoy splitting one of the larger asteroids into smaller sections so as to make it more manageable.

Splitting asteroids is what really makes the task dangerous. As large chunks of the asteroid can easily fly towards the fleet that is to process it. And such events are always disastrous.

To help compensate for this, massive thrusters are installed on the asteroid in strategic positions so as to keep the parts after being severed from each other from flying away from, or into the fleet.

Such a sight though is breathtaking as the explosives are detonated and the asteroid breaks apart.

Everything in, about, and the picture itself are © of me, =Vypor .
