The journey

This is a bit of a departure for me. I wanted to try something different and cinematic. The original piece I did over a year ago for part of a panel in a comic competition. As always work did it's best to make me unable to complete in time. The image was created in photoshop from scratch. I used photo reference for the space station and planets and painted them into the shot using a variety of different preloaded brushes. The star field was done mainly using the dry brush. The small ship in the distance was based on a mixture of Serenity & the Lander from Aliens. I think this piece took me about a day from scratch and I pretty pleased with the results.

There is now a new piece that is hopefully going to be part of a series (ferdster66.deviantart.com/art/…). I'm already at work on a third (ferdster66.deviantart.com/art/…). Now complete.
