That's actually pretty cool. :yes: The fire effects were pulled off very nicely... to improve it, you could get some more dynamic light effects in there. :)

Try practising making true 3D planets instead of....that photoshop filter widget.

The compositing could do with a little tweaking, some nasty matte outlines here and there.

Composition is good and the render quality on the true-3d bits is good.

Keep it coming :)

Pretty good - it seems a little, yeah, pixelly - a sort of copy/paste thing. But otherwise, neat :)

Thanks alot for the advice. See i dont have the same means to produce 3d rendered art all togeather in 1 image say as Venom who can produce 3d planets with the ships togeather. so i work with what i have. thats why i call my art 2D/3D art. cause its a mixture of both. thanks for the feedback!

Nice...! Don't like the explosion effects on that Orion too much though...try something  else for that.

? hey, you can delete that grey line even in paint. I like the pic overhal, but I think this detail is wrong.
ok, I'll just shut up then.

And oh yes, jump nodes are invisible. The green spheres are simply HUD representations and don't actually exist.

Heheh... treat this as a stepping stone. Keep going, and you'll get better... trust me, I've seen a lot worse. ;)

LOL........ i know that, i was trying to make the image seem as if it were say "ingame" minus a player hud to clutter up the screen.:nod:

but all in all i was being lazy with erasing that white line around the pods.

setekh, was that a pic u made before u started making ur sUpAr screens now?:devilidea

Look how far he's come from then...:jaw:

Oh Steak... That one was... wow. Underdone. :D

I wouldn't show that one if I were you. :lol:

It could be even worse, though. My first render ever:
