Title: New Beginnings
Name: Mike McCain
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

Another quick entry into the Blizzard art contest, although it doesn't really scream Starcraft. This is the crashed colony ship Nagglfar on Tarsonis, where the Terrans first began to settle in their new galaxy. I thought it'd be cool to design a giant mothership beached in the sand. So... here it is.

~4-5 hours, Photoshop CS2

Very nice, I love the mood. The only crit I could give is the guys in the front appear to be close to the ruins. The reason is that the shadow of the ruin is not cut by the cliff on which they are, it matches almost perfectly with where the cliff ends, hence we don't get the impression of distance. Having the shadow extending a bit further and hence having the edge of the cliff covering it a bit would have helped.

I hope this crit was helpful, keep it up!:)

thanks all! that is definitely a good point phil. I'm thinking about going back to this and doing something more finished with it - if I do will definitely try to fix that.
