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

TerraNova by ~max4ever is a fantastic combination of 3d and photoshop work. The realism is draws you in and you can't help but think we are probably not alone. ( Suggested by ~Baro and Featured by `cosmosue )

Very beautiful. For a second I thought the background was from a photograph.

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 :)
