Description
A pair of ships on patrol are passing the nebula known as "The Window" by those who frequent this area of space. Unfortunately they dare not linger, partly because they're on patrol and need to keep moving, but also because active nebula where stars (typically large hot stars at that) are being born are full of a rich array of energies that aren't very friendly to fragile carbon-based life forms like us.
Just a real quick piece, I'm still playing around with these ships. I actually rather like this model even though it's not my usual style.
Hope you're all having a good week, and as usual comments/critiques are welcome and encouraged.

Wow Dude that ships looks really awesome!!!
These ships have a definite alien feel to them.Great modeling and cosmic background.
oh, yeah, very nice looking ships!
I really like this ship design,and although it is a departure for you,it's a good departure!Love the organic feel to this design,and your textures are great,as always.Another very cool background too!
Excellent image my friend, the background really give these babies a since of speed and movement. The modeling is very cool, this is one of my favorites by you. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next! Cheers, David
Dang, Michael, for a 'real quick' piece, this is a 'real excellent' piece! Love the design of those ships - just fantastic!
Fantastic ships! Great lighting. Corrie
Very good sci-fi scene.
Awesome work.
Those ships look great, I really like the design, and I love the texturing!
Nice design for this new ships. Everything else is awesome too! ;)
Excellent Lighting and textures.
Those are very good looking ships. I can't even imagine trying to model those in bryce - it's modelling was not friendly to me.
Excellent sci fi!
superbe image!!
For a "quick piece" it is a very fine work.
This is an amazing quick piece! I love your interstellar art and this is one of the reasons why. Your vessels all look logical but you've retained a very strong edge of creativity. That's what's best about science fiction, when the creator of a universe actually knows enough ABOUT science to make things believable, not just in terms of text, but in terms of appearance. These ships are work-horses: it shows. I love the textures and the ambient colors. This rocks.
Very fine work!
Yeah, I was also thinking they look very organic and strong though there is a bit of art deco about them. =) Coolness!
Fantastic work.
Superb ships, space and perspective!!!
Very nice modeling!! I like the design. :)
I like the movement in this.. how completely neat.
Really very nice. I like the design.
Great models zooming into the screen. I hope they make it to the other side...
Cool, dynamic scene ;)
