Description
Just a bit of messing around with some stuff I've downloaded lately....
The ships are 3ds (studio 3D) files imported into Poser. I added the black stealth paint scheme to the fighter in the foreground (forespace?) and then duplicated the ship for the other spaceships.
The background is a combination of fiddling with Photoshop brushes, and an Apo render for the wormhole effect. I added a bit of exhaust glow (I know it wouldn't actually be visible in space, but I'm using artistic license, here! LOL!), and a little motion blur. Hope you enjoy it!
I'm running a bit behind on comments, but I'll get caught up later today!
Hope you all have a great weekend, and as always thanks for all the great comments, faves and support!

cosmic kewl Rod, love that nebula you created, facinating space adventure my friend. top notch sci fi/ 10*s
Wow! COOL!! Capt.RodS love this beautiful BG.
Are those refueling probes Rod...If so, each ship muct be a Mk IV since the first three weren't capable of refueling while airborne. Bet you didn't know that! Just leave it to us flying junkies to have all the details. Lol. Neat render sir!
a good looking sci fi Image worthy of posterizing and putting by your desk so you can SPACE OUT - LOL
Xcellent!!!
Very good sci-fi scene and spaceship
Very lovely sci fi image Rod love the BG stars and fractal lighting behind, great work on this!!
looks like a fine partof the spacko fleet.excellent work rod.5++.
That's a real stunning sci-fi scene dear Rod - Fantastic artwork!
Great scene !
Cool effects! And if the drive is an ion-plasma drive, some glowing 'exhaust' would be visible as a glowing jet, as it is ionized superheated plasma coming out the arse end as thrust. Holy crap I don't believe I said that. (I've been awake for 3 days straight) I'm wondering if I spend too much time on the NASA and JPL websites?
Really loving that star field, Rod! Another thing I need to work on, but yours looks really good. The lighting on the craft is incredible too! Really great stuff. :)
Kick'n Sci-Fi!
Wow Rod, this is great!! Those are some kick-ass ships and I love the wormhole effect!
Fantastic work, Rod! Looks great - compared to the artistic license taken by producers and directors in movies, you rock
WOOOOOOOOOW Rod! Being a BIG TIME Star Trek, Star Wars and all around sci-fi fanatic, you KNOW I LOVE this one! Superb work on that star field and worm hole! Those ships are really COOL! With the dipping wings and longish neck and head-like cockpit, they look kind of Klingon or Romulan-ish. I don't know ... would the glow of the exhaust not really be visible in space? If so, I guess I didn't know that. I have long been wanting to do a space scene. I have LOADS of different types of spaceships - most of them freebies - but I have never been able to create a star field like this one you did here. I found a tutorial at a website but it was not very coherent and I failed to get the end result I was supposed to get from it. SUPERB work on this as usual buddy!
GORGEOUS
Oh...this is AWESOME!!! Great image!
That's really cool work, I like what you did with the background! As for the engine glow, actually I think you'd probably see something. Even Ion-drives are expelling rather hot gases which are typically glowing. (Check out NASA's website for pictures of the ion drive they used with the "Deep Impact" probe for reference) and if you start incorporating the more exotic drives like VASIMR and such, then you're talking about super-heated plasma, glowing really brightly! At any rate, those ships are super cool, I can see why you'd have fun playing with them! Nice work.
Wow, totally cool and awesome work, Rod! Just love those spaceships, and your Photoshop post work is very impressive! Bravo Zulu, Rod!
fantastic sci-fi and fractal mix, cool image
