Description
Most ship-captains wouldn't even remotely consider getting into a situation where they'd face this kind of sight. But now the hornet's nest has been stirred, and nobody wants to have to clean up the mess, now.
------------
Apologies for re-using ship models I've done before, but I've kind of been in a creative road-block and needed to do something to jump-start my imagination again. And what better way to to play with my ancient guardians once again?
In case you hadn't seen these before, the ships were all modeled in Bryce 6, hull textures are my own (Created with Adobe illustrator and photoshop before tinkering with in Bryce as well) the stars mostly came from the plugin "glitterato" and the nebula was created using 4 layers, 3 are photos of clouds, one is from the random-cloud filter. Hope you like it, and of course comments/critiques are encouraged.

brilliant sci fi image, the atmo in this space scene is super.
Excellent sci-fi scene!!!
it is time to jump on the bike and FLEEEE
~Outstanding sci fi work!~
Even if you re-used previously viewed ships design, this pic is great, especially the background!
Nicely done! Don't sweat it--I'm trying to get as much done as possible for work (Contract is not being extended on 12/31/2010, so I'm job hunting again) and try to get the creative juices flowing again at the same time.
Mike, your ships and space scenes are without equal. I don't care how many times you 're-use' these ships, they're still magnificent! If they ever decide to bring back Battlestar Galactica, you should submit these as some kind of new Cylon ship design. Amazing work, my friend!
wonderful sky !!!
Great looking scene! Poking around where you don't belong, you may get a nasty surprise. No problem re-using ships. One of my issues is that I'll speed tens of hours working on a model and only use it once.
You don't have to apologize for using the same models. I do it a lot; so do a lot of people. I'd call this one, "Rust-Buckets in Space." Heh!
Well your muse hasn't left you and that's for sure ... when zoomed-in this takes on a different vision altogether and is spectacular, something about these spaceships is reminiscent of the 'Fleur De Lys' crest and design, don't you think so too ? well done, BB
What's wrong with using (or seeing) old faves again?! I like it!
Epic!
Excellent scene, I really like your background and the ships look great! Wonderful POV, you are really coming in to your own style! All the best to you and your family and a very Merry Christmas! Cheers, David
Fantastic scene and models. Corrie
Great work once again.
A BEAUTY
great scenery, wonderful sci-fi image
Hmmm...somebody looks a wee bit miffed? Do ancient guardians get miffed? Or is this just...oh, I don't know...an ancient guardian social dance? At any rate, it's an amazing scene and I love the title. As always, your backgrounds work amazingly well in your visual settings and I rather like the fact that the vessels are smaller this time, giving a sense of scale to an already brilliant work. I know these are whoppers (or at least mid-sized whoppers) but seeing them from this vantage point and from this distance really puts them in a more galactic perspective. They may be whoppers, they may be deadly, and yeah, there may even be a lot of them, but in the grand scheme of things, the galaxy is still a HUGE and and sometimes spooky place. You really convey that, and though you say your muse is on a coffee break, I suspect that you've got quite a lot of oomph remaining in this dry spell. If MY dry spells were as productive as this, I'd be happy. This is marvelous work and of course, I would love to see more from this universe.
Have to agree with all the above, just amazing work.
