Description
Bryce6.1/Photoshop/Photoscape3.3
I wanted to show more of a close-up front view of my Mayfly ship,but I needed something for interest in the scene.Since the design was inspired by Nature,I decided to take a cue from the natural world,and took the idea of small birds dive-bombing a larger intruder into their territory...it was also an excuse to bring back one of my first nature-inspired models,the dragonfly droid.Thus,the Mayfly is being attacked by a group of sentry droids as she enters restricted airspace.
All ships created entirely in Bryce6.1,with most textures from cgtextures.com.Sky,light and atmo are custom...rendered in Premium setting.Postwork involved a slight levels adjustment and signature in Photoshop,and a frame in Photoscape.Thanks for taking the time to view and comment,it is much appreciated!

Both models are superb, and the lighting/atmosphere is perfect. Excellent work, Neil.
Very cool! Nice engine nacelle. Looks like she's being hounded by skeeters...
YOu've got a great idea going there.
cute work
great models!
Awesome models...both designs are great!!!
Nicely put together!
The ship designs are really clever, love the wings and cockpits.
Very cool design!!
definitely a bit different...
Really nice scene. Excellent models, lighting and textures! Very well done.
This is a great presentation for the model.
Excellent and original design, as always. Very good!
This is a very interesting craft. I like the way you have used the smaller craft to make the image more exciting. I would have loved to have seen one of the smaller defence craft slightly overlapping the intruder with maybe just a wingtip or a shadow to give the instant impression of size and depth - although you did a great job in achieving that with the atmosphere anyway. Great modeling and texturing.
Excellent modeling..very reminiscent of the ornithopter designs in Dune..organic forms being used as the basis for spacecraft.
