Goto Predestinatsiya.
Built as a wooden Russian warship at Voronezh, Southern Russia, by Czar Peter I and the master shipbuilder F.M. Sklyaev. Laid down on 19th November 1698. Launched 24 April 1700 under the name Goto Predestinatsiya (God's Providence ).
Model and scene created in lightwave over six months. Final size 14400 pixels.
One of my favorites. Lots of detailing, lots of rendering, lots of compositing. Final size 14400 pixels. Original size 14400 pixels for 1200mm @ 300dpi print.
Still starting out with Lightwave I came across an awesome picture by
Andre Kutscherauer titled Self-Illumination. I liked it. I wanted to see
if i could make something of the same quality or better. And here is
the result.
Many years later a high-res re-rendered copy hangs on my wall.
Oh, and please visit Andre's page to see the original and get some inspiration: http://www.ak3d.de/
This is the first image that I would not be ashamed to show the general
public. It was created in 2007 after I saw a something similar on the
internets.
Methinks an update is in order. This time in red...
