Design notes:
I had this idea for some reason out of the blue, when I finished brushing my teeth several nights ago, so I quickly sketched it out and have been obsessed with finishing this since. When I started painting the background.. I realized what an enormous background this was. I had to bring out the big guns: 3d studio max 7. The background, or the battlecruiser itself is entirely modeled and textured in 3d by myself, after which I painted over it.
The foreground ship is not 3d, but rather hand painted.
