Something from the archives
Well this image has been on my hard drive for about a month now and I finally got around to finishing the picture. The USS John Adams getting closer to its destination as Mars gets closer and closer. The image was created in Bryce 5 from scratch, all concepts and design by me. The image of Mars from JPL/NASA, starfield created in Universe and final postwork done in Photoshop. I have posted in the last 24 hours 72 new images at my website under the title (Deep Space Probe Orion1) or (Spare Parts!). I hope you get a chance to visit my website. If you have any questions or suggestions about my work please drop me an e-mail or sign my quest book (shameless plug) ;-) Thanks again for taking a peek at my work.
Cheers,
David ;-)

Its always great to see your science fiction work David. You have an excellent imagination and I really appreciate the fact that you research your ideas for your images as they could be something that NASA could be working on in the next 20 years. I gather that you are an Arthur C Clarke fan?
I simply love this one, awesome david, just awesome work, more more more
How can I comment? Did'nt want to take my eyes off this image!
your detail level is phenomenal.....
The modeling is really nice. 2 critiques: 1. The star field could be a little more realistic. 2. The reflection of the suns light on the planet would intern reflect off the ship. It looks like the only light source is from behind. Fantasic modeling and I will visit your site.
Either you are an expert in Bryce... or you blasted yourself out of our atmosphere - with a camera, went into a perfect aligned orbit, positioned yourself next to the latest NASA project, and took an astonishing picture of it... so OKAY which one is it?? ;o))
Awesomne!
Absolutely superb! The lighting is just right on this one! No other light source is necessary!
interesting angle!! like the sureal shadows... adds so much to the convincing surealism!!! perfect stuff david!!! :o)
From any pov this vessel is wonderfully created. Looking at Mars in this view makes one wonder why they called it the 'Red' planet.... Perhaps you could explain why you've named this ship 'John Adams' ? Vote!
I think the red planet sounds better than the tan planet. 8) Terrific modelling and an excellent POV and composition. 8)
I love your ships David. They always look as if every little wonderful detail has a logical reason for being. Your ships and the backgrounds around them improve with each new render. Vote!
