It's getting there, still a long ways to go though.

Looks very promising. But I kinda like the first rough coloring more (the brown one), it got a very menacing feeling to it, as if they are silently hovering closer to their unsuspecting target...

It looks great, kinda reminds me of the starwars battle scene. Can't wait for it to be finished.

Lookin' good. Maybe clean up the planet a bit? Are you using reference? For the clouds and such, that is.

No, the only reference I've used was an F-16, because I can't design aircraft/spacecfraft to save my life.

I used Photoshop 7. I think the trick is all in the opacity setting. I usually leave the flow at 100 and knock the opacity down to 30-40.

how much time did you spend on this painting?
can't wait to see the end result!!

yeah, it's all done on the computer.

Personally I prefered it when you had the 3 ships in the scene, it broke up the single diagonal line that everything seems to be following and added a bit more interest to the piece, a bit more flow.
