Description
Been working on this for a couple of days, taking a break from this incredibly long render thats turning into crap right before my very eyes. but anyway--i started off by modeling an "ejection" type chair, then took it a step further and made the whole interior of the dropship. this is truly one of my pics that I was making up as I was going along, I didnt even have a set idea in my head of the finished pic till I was halfway thru(i guess thats not really a bad thing) I spent a little while posing the 3 diff. figures---and i needed an excuse to put the armorsuits (thanks to LynnJonathan) in a pic--their so awesome!!!!!
I had the idea of the ships from Starship Troopers--one of the cheesiest, stupidest, but at the same time awesomest:) movies that i love to watch. they drop the soldiers onto the planet from these small crafts into battle.
There is one idea for this pic that stuck from the begining though, just thinking of the wear-and tear of military life--so, hence, "dropship blues"
one last thing
this pic goes out to Benjamin Holte (a.k.a brholte -as many of us know him) who got shipped off back in august for 18 weeks to the NAVY. I dont know why but when i made this I had him in mind. go check out his gallery too if you get a chance.
thanks for viewing/commenting, and have a nice evening.

Amazing work in every way, love it!!
Excellent job on everything. The detail is wonderful. you can almost feel the movement of the ship :)
A very well executed image. Excellent scene setup and great work done with the characters. Also love the atmosphere, blur and lighting. Top render. ---- Scott.
Great tribute then.Always a pleasure to view your works. This is very detailed
Good atmosphere really like the Giger style palette.
I like the mood of this. The modeling and setup of the scene is really good. Excellent job.
Another smash. The atmosphere is just superb man. And really nice modeling as well. Nice dedication to a good man as well.Great job all around here.
Outstanding,............wish I had the imagination to make images like this. Nice texes and atmosherics. 18 weeks ? Basic ? Probably in the Great Lakes I'll bet.
excellent modelling and a great pic.... it looks dirty and hot and perfect for the scene
Awesome work!love everything in this one!:)
Stunning work. Love that movie.
Very nice! Good composition and most excellent modelling!
Wow! Incredible atmosphere and tense inner actions going on. I like your very distinctive dual tonal work. Keep it up!!
Excellent work Jordan, another gem for your gallery!
Beautiful scene, I like tubing a lot, and your choice of sepia is just excellent.
Wonderful modeling, and a fantastic image, all around!
This is truly impressive! I agree with everything already said and want to add that you have a wonderful sense for bringing the imaginations of the mind to visual reality! On a side note, if any of you haven't read the book "Starship Troopers" by Robert Heinlein, I highly recommend it. Quite a few things in the book that weren't in the movie (naturally).
Can a person vote more than once for an image? If so, I would spend all nite sucking down coffee and nodoz clickin away on the vote button. Thank God for broadband. Need I say more?
Excellent allien atmosphere!!
