I started this one as a VUE test. Next thing I know I was caught up in this personal project for 3 weeksThe driving force behind this work is the idea that we are not alone in the universe. After all, it would be a terrible waste of space right? So I envisioned the exploring mission of some advanced civilization having first contact with a primitive new world.I wanted to remove one cliff in the back in order to kill the simetry but I thought it looks cool though.Render took almost 15 hours at 4000 pixels wide and ultra settings. I painted over in photoshop, keeping the actual VUE shape for a future camera projection.The spaceship is made in max, with some heavy paintover in PS.Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it
