I started this one as a VUE test. Next thing I know I was caught up in this personal project for 3 weeks 
The 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

smart the light ! awesome !
Oh my gosh this one is beautiful, that's the future i like to daydream of. And seriously, symmetry happens in nature sometimes, that makes it twice as cool when it does! 
I'm the kind of guy that switches wallpapers every 2 days. This has been on my desktop for 2 years. Do I need to say more ? 
Thank you for this amazing piece (and amazing isn't a good enough of a word for this).

Fantastic detail. Great clarity over the entire image, especially the lightning and the spaceship. Very dramatic concept.
Very beautiful. For a second I thought the background was from a photograph.
*whistles* Wow. The lightning strike just adds to the wild and untamed air of the setting. Absolutely fantastic.
WoW !! I wish i could do art work like that !! Absolutely amazing ! were have you learn to do all of this ?!
Stunning work mate! Keep it up

Beautiful work. Congratulations to the DD. 
Looks like something from Crysis 2 or something! real good!
Awesome work!
I love detail and especially tree they are so realistic. I understand that all trees are painted ?.
In that case I want to to ask about brushes wchih U have used
P.S If U do sky more dark and lighting more contrasted and maybe one more light source, then this artwork could be more climate and tasty for eye

I really love the rendered details, especially the lightning and the foliage. The ship itself is cool as well - and the cliffs in the background make viewers think what might be beyond the view here.
*_* so pretty
