Commissioned: Vela Starliner Concept

Description

Another of :iconshoguneagle:'s concepts; this time the Martian version of a Starliner.

I was inspired by the concepts of :iconhandofmanos:'s depiction of Martian ships for :iconshoguneagle: and went along with that; the hard part was to make it work.

It took time because I wanted to make the design interesting but different from the Cygnus liner I had done earlier. I also wanted it to be striking. In the end, a bit of glare, floods and the setting of the lights made it come to pass; and the logo worked a treat :)

Needless to say, :iconshoguneagle: is a happy bunny!

Well, comments are always welcome.

Enjoy! :)
