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 :P

    Nice to see this here. I think I have seen it before on cgsociety, I think :D I quite enjoy the colourso f this piece, and the atmosphere which you created. the foliage looks convincing, too.
    The cilffs I am not so sure about, in both pairs they look too similar, and there are no other cliffs in the scene at all. I think the scenery would be more believable of they had some smaller rocks scattered around them.
    I am also still not sure if I like the lightning or not. I've seen lightnings in many images, and usually they looked fake. Here it looks believable, but I am just not sure if it is -necessary-.
    Last but not least, I think the vehicle should be a tad smaller and more to the right, to just aid the composition more and create a better scale.
    Anyhow, I hope you don't mind my critiques. I like your image, and it certainly has a lot of depth and a nice stormy feel to it!
