Description
Inspired by certain book cover designs by contemporary artists Stephen Bradbury and Danny Flynn (as well as a certan very old book cover for a near-forgotten novel by Jules Verne titled 'Off On A Comet'), the present render attempts to place in a single composition several of the traditional stock elements of fantasy and science fiction -- starships, dragons, magical swords, and that most iconic of SF symbols, the planet Saturn -- with a dash of the East thrown in for taste. It was a lot of work deciding what to put where and viewed from what angle. I may have revised the whole render at least a couple dozen times.
Do you think this image might have had too much placed in it? Perhaps I should get rid of the falling petals and cut down on the twinkles around the sword?

Marvelous creation/composition !
The sword is great without the twinkles! It looks magical and glowing :)
wonderful image
Ein schöner Render
Well I was drawn by the colorful sparkles that's what I love is all the colors.
This is a nice way of continuing the story of excalibur and putting Arthur into the role of a modern troubadour who plays the guitar instead of the lyre
Amazing work.
Great effects and scene! Nice work!
Great job!
An excellent creation and it is not too busy. Wonderful warrior, sword and Saturn. I did zoom to try and find more!
A mystical composition with a lot of details. Excellent and very creative work.
Splendid creation - and no need to reduce the twinkles or petals!
