Day's End by ArtOfSoulburn

Matte painting depicting the fleet's return at day's end to the homebase. These were the sorts of images I loved from the original star wars films, very moody, lots of atmospheric, harsh lighting. This is my homage to this sort of imagery.

Wow, this is amazing! By any chance did you take inspiration from Alien 3? This looks a lot like the exterior shots of the prison planet. Keep up the amazing work!

ArtOfSoulburn Featured By Owner Sep 27, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks! The alien movies are certainly an inspiration, but I feel the inspiration for this piece was more the original starwars films. Thanks again for the compliments.

Actually,my first thought was about this depicting Tattooine 1000 years after the classic trilogy,having become something similar to Coruscant as depicted in the new one..
Anyways GREAT work,also in catching that athmosphere-somehow.I think at a second glaze,this pic has its very own one and just similar looks.It feels desperate somehow,depressive..I don´t even know exactly what I mean myself.Just day´s end,as the title says.
Somehow I can´t stop imagining there wasn´t a single living being in all those ships and the buildings.

Thanks, glad you dig the piece!

Hehe. Maybe there's some subliminal stuff in there

xechon Featured By Owner Jun 13, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Beautiful, you captured the mood-setting Star Wars feel perfectly

ArtOfSoulburn Featured By Owner Jun 17, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks, glad you like it!

Would you mind if I use this as a reference photo in my Star Wars rpg campaign?

ArtOfSoulburn Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

What do you mean reference photo exactly?

xechon Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh, just to show the party "Ok, so this is what the planet looks like they you just landed on." Maybe make up something about how the architecture was designed to withstand high winds that sweep through this region in the winter months, forcing air traffic to a standstill. Possibly set the scene just before the winter arrives and have the place be a bustle of activity getting supplies ready, then throw in some space freighter accident that snarls traffic to raise tension. It's a good background setting to whatever the party was supposed to be doing on the planet.
