Uncertain Destinyby ~KillaBC

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Futuristic & Sci-Fi

The attack on the Citadel was a watershed moment in Council History, for the wrong reasons. The destruction of the Geth and Sovereign made the Council complacent towards the Reaper threat.

This is my favourite MEI have done. I watched the Battle at the Citadel to get how the light worked and see how the ships were formed and placed. Plenty of lens flare and bright lighting coupled with plenty of explosions and weapons fire. The background was also trickier than anticipated due to the serpent nebula having intricate detail on the cut scenes.

always Wondered why this ship was thought of as a trump card,I mean,yeahs its big but that's just a bigger target, it doesn't even seem to have anything other than some kind of missile in game as weaponry, and what the hell is the purpose of that giant hole in the middle? that's what gives it most of its size. not trying to downplay your work or anything, just voicing some questions that have been bugging me.

I see where your comming from, it's not the best design for the mass effect universe. However it is a dreadnought and the largest ship in Ciatdel space, it's more of a show off piece and power projection than anything else. Much like Battlecruisers of WW1, it's a proof of concept. There not very good in terms of there size, armour and forepower ratio but it proves that you can build it for the sake of building it.

The hole is also it's main engine drive which can accelerate the ship out of danger pretty fast or manouve it to a better foreing position. Again much like a battlecruiser it's fast but's turning circle is awful.

Hpe that helps.

Pretty much, hopefully a shell doesn't penetrate her magazine though!

This looks great! The question is, did you save her? (I know I did...)

~KillaBC Mar 14, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Not for the first 2 playthroughs but I did for the third.

Great work on the reflections and lighting. The backgrounds are fantastic.

~KillaBC Mar 6, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks, lighting is the most important thing to me.

I have one word to describe this picture: EPIC

~KillaBC Mar 1, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well that was the intention, to capture the Battle at it's height.
