Description
"We had arrived. A Long time traveling, finally nearing its end. We were just starting to think about what we'd be doing next, starting to feel the excitement we'd all felt at the start making a tentative grasp at capturing our imaginations. THIS is what we were waiting so long for, and we could finally see it in front of us. What we didn't know was that there were some who had their own ambitions for this same place, and they were going to try to take it from us before we'd even had it in our hands."
-From the diary of Toren Delgado, recording the events of what is now commonly referred to as "The Shortest War".
===========
This is intended to be the first in a series, so bear with me on it while I try to make time for my real passion: Space Opera.
Ships were all modeled in Bryce 6, (and incidentally set in the same universe, and a short time after "Humanity's First Interstellar War") Background and planet were made in Photoshop, compositing and post work all in Photoshop as well.
Thanks for taking a look, and comments/critiques are always welcome

Very nice job on the tail end of the ship! I like the planet and the nebulae too.
Absolute superb. I love the planet and background especially.
WOW AWesome space scene !!! brilliant work!!!!
Excellent balance of colors for background and you modeling is excellent! Your work is getting better with every new post. Well done my friend............ Cheers, David
Fabulous space scene..excellent models! Great BG and colors! :)
Excellent space scene!
Fantastic space scene.
Real nice work, and the composition rocks too. A very cool space scene!
Wonderful sci-fi!!!
Excellent composition, it sounds as if sci-fi is 'your' thing! :-)
Does the journey end, or begin?? ;) I'm waiting for the sequel impatiently!
Nice space scene. Great looking ship models! Very well done.
Superb scene! I love the narrative. The scene itself is wonderful, especially the drive flares and the whole engine configurations on the two flanking ships. GREAT TOUCHES. The planet and background are just as interesting, providing drama in and of themselves and not just acting as convenient backdrops. Like you, I have a passion for space opera, and I have to say that this is wonderfully refreshing and original.
I love all the different configurations of these ships! David
Well done. Very good sci-fi render.
Great detail in this! =)
great the sense of scale and big structure....really like it, congrats!
You have some of the best space scenes around. I'll be checking your progress often! Great work!
Excellent!
