planetary federation outpost
January 29th, 2009
From the space opera project that I’ve had on the back and middle burners for a while now; this scene was constructed using some SketchUp, some photocollage, and some regular 2D photoshoppery.
…and the raw SketchUp output:

concept art, environment design, publications, space opera, vehicle design














































THE OPERA IS BACK?!
Awesome. Can’t wait to see more. I love the details and textures on this. Did I mention I can’t wait to see more?
Great work.
fanfriggintastic! I’ve missed seeing your environment work and that it’s from the space opera project is a double bonus.
I tip my hat to you, sir.
Matthew – thanks! There will be more at some point.
Dan – glad you dig it. I’m using a lot of the space opera material in this forthcoming sci fi art book.
Lorin – As do I!
That is flippin’ AMAZING.
This is amazing. Do you paint the textures on the 3D renders or apply them as texture in Google Sketchup?
thanks! no textures, just took the 2D render shown below and painted it in Photoshop
