Commissioned: Thunderstorming

A number of Terran Federation Elysium Aerospace Incorporated SF/A-13A Thunderstorms ambush a fleet of Alliance ships; this includes the massive behemoth Atlas Super Carrier at the centre.

However despite initial successes, the battle takes a turn as the Alliance who are no shrinking violets, retaliate. In addition, the carrier launches numerous Cirris Allied States Armaments Group ASF-6A Habus (diamond like blue fighters) in pursuit.

This is a depiction of a battle between the Alliance Star Forces and the Terran Federation, ideas commissioned by the great scribe .

The brief was for a battle with the Atlas and the Thunderstorms involved. I wanted it to be epic – like something out of Star Wars (the originals) or the new BSG. I wanted it to be packed with drama and dynamism, of struggle and fate, and of carnage and catastrophe.

The Atlas above I wanted it to feel like one is diving away from the ship rather than it just being overhead.

I also wanted to capture as much of ’s concepts and ideas to all who are novices to his work. Please check out his stuff – excellent reads

I am really proud of this piece – primarily it is helping to make a creative person’s dream come to some shape – his reaction is joy to me; and that is what we artists are here for; to see ideas come to pass. I am honoured and proud to do that

designed the Thunderstorm and Habu fighters for ; the Altas was designed by commissioned by the same fellow.
