Description
A scene from the Larry Niven novel "Protector".
Made this a while back, and lost the Belt mining singleship model when I moved computers.

Preciosa Imagen. Felicidades.
I really like the color and ambient light. A very cool space image!
wow !! i also checked some of your earlier stuff, "ugly red spaceship" is brilliant, and i really liked the jumpbugs also. not seen them before (must be more alert!)
This is terrific work - great sci-fi!!
Very cool. It reminds me of Chris Foss's work. :) Jay
Been a few decades since I read PROTECTOR. So the sphere is Phsstpok's ship? Cool!
Like other pictures in your gallery, you've captured that classic science fiction look. Excellent
Great pic the mech arms on the small craft look functional.
Very, very nice! I love the colors and the details. Really great render; very interesting to look at. :)
Very nice! This is a joy to behold! We see a lot of great spaceships made with tS and this is brilliant!
A book cover if ever I saw one. Just love your Decal/tex mapping.
Beautiful modelling, composition and lighting. Shame you lost the model. Would have been PERFECT if you could re-render with a slightly higher antialiasing level - there's a few jaggies, or is this because a bump texture wasn't hi-res enough?
Great lighting and detail
I used to remember the name of the artist who painted the covers for Larry Niven, but who cares about him. I think you should take a shot at Larry's next cover art! (if he is still alive and kicking). OH! yes! I just remembered, Vincent Deffate, or something like that. Any way, WHY NOT? hasn't any of those publishers ever tried to recruit you?
Outstanding.
Very nice! I like your SciFi vehicles, they are tech-realistic.
This is excellent, nice amount of details and nice composition.
very realistic spaceship design
Another winner.
Wonderful and very beautiful!
It's hard to think of something good enough to say about your pics
