Description
Another illustration produced for the official Stargate magazine. This is the Ancient's 'Aurora' which was found drifting in space heavily damaged, with it's crew in hibernation and immersed in a virtual existence within the ships computer system.
This is basically the same model as the Orion (they are the same class), and was in fact created prior to the Orion. Again the reference was very rough, so it was modeled on whatever ref was available for the Orion, and then battered according to the Aururoa ref!
The planet BG is another matte painting I created for Star Wars Revelations.

As fantastic as the other. Perfect!!!
Oh my, I'm speechless -- Your work and skills are truly inspiring. Thank you! :)
Beautiful work!
Excellent work again. :)
light, texture, modeling...it all disappears when imagination takes over. Like it does here. Pure joy to look at.
Exceptional work! The battered ship's textures are excellent! Nice!
I remember that episode, superb work on this one!
Outstanding cinematic quality!
For me in australia, that was last weeks episode, so its cool to see the ship like this, great work :) Angela
I like the composition in this one a bit better. Really nice work Adam!
This and the orion are really excellent, but I agree, compositionally this is the stronger piece.
Man what a beauty in detail and design and the scenery perfect!! What an awesome horizon to wake up to and so clear a planet scene too awesoem job!!
Excellent stuff. Wonderful model.
Superb work, as always!
Outstanding work! This is top quality stuff, sir!
Absolutely quality stuff! I can definitely understand why they hire you to do these illustrations :)
More fantastic SF art. A must to view full size!
great pic
I always thought it was hard to pull off a large ship model. The time consuming details have to be perfect for it to look right. You nailed it.
Amazing!
Looks like you used the Explosion FX modifier at the near end.
Wonderful work! The Aurora, a great episode from SG Atlantis. I have some years ago the same idea for a s-f story. Well, they read my mind and... Seriously, it's a great render, very detailed and the planet gives a real look.
