Title: Colony


Future mining colony on an alien planet. I worked on this Sci-fi image for several weeks, mostly after school and during weekends back in the mid 90's. I submitted it to a computer graphics competition at The Party'96. Unfortunately it ranked very low, around 92 I think. I was quite disappointed as I thought it deserved a much better ranking. The good thing was that Colony turned out to be a popular Sci-Fi wallpaper and I received many fan emails from people around the world because of it.

I like the tilted effect, makes you feel like your in a jet thingy and there. Very lifelike.

i love the use of fog here...it really gives a sense that you are high up off the ground...if there is one down there :)

Oooh, beauty! The detail is superb, especially the snow on the mountains, the moons and the spacecraft. The mist is fantastic, well done! I like how it's done at an angle... sure gives more interest to the whole thing! Lovely!

Very good picture, the cloud effect is very well done. The textures on the buildings are well made.

I *LOOOOVE* it! You rock! *breathes deeply* I will now try to be cool and calm. Very superior picture. I wish I could do anything half this good. Two thumbs waaay up.

would you consider a commision? either a lightly colonized Mars, or another planet? Artistic disgresion would be the deciding vote. {translation: you'd have the last word}!

pretty sky - air looks like it ought to be breathable - whaich probably makes it double deadly... i've worked on a mineral drill rig out in nevada and when my dad was working for the railroad at norden lived in company housing - and believe it or not have a certain fondness for such settings - i wonder if there's a little boy growing up in one of those domes whos dad works for the company...

Man , you are crazy! Only a mad can draw like this! What a hell this program do?! The fog is totaly realistic , but I didnīt like the ships , itīs so much unreal. But the scenario is perfect! Go work to Blizzard ok?! :D

Sim wrote:Feb 13, 1999

WOW! Really great lookin'!! I'm looking forward to see the same type of pictures, but maybe in a different theme (still SciFi of course) that would look like YOUR work. No offense, but I've seen pics that look almost exactly like this...Please tell me what program was used in the making of this pic though!!

Iria wrote:Jan 9, 1999

YOU MUST SEND ME THE INFORMATION ON THE PROGRAM THAT YOU USE TO CREAT THIS TYPE OF STUFF! ! ! ! ! IT IS AWESOME. I THINK MAYBE SOMETIME IN THE VERY DISTANT FUTURE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING REMOTELY SIMILAR, OR MAYBE A TRIFLE AS GOOD! !

Yo, chummer what should I say? "It looks Great!!!!!" PS: The Fog looks realy realistic Congratulations!

Briony wrote:Dec 1, 1998

One must be very careful when rendering fog, but I do believe you carry it off to perfection.

Paul D. wrote:Jul 30, 1998

Damn your GOOD!!!.. what program are you useing??

Kennock wrote:Mar 22, 1998

Nick, that's not water, but the building on the right is extremly tall. The rest of them are either below or inside the clouds. Very beautiful David!

Nick wrote:Feb 9, 1998

umm is that water and reflected buildings? or buildings underwater? It looks awsome though I will use it as my backdrop.

Hmmm, wow.... I love the city down in the fog....the fog hides just enough detail to make it looks really good....Really good.

Grazum wrote:Nov 18, 1996

Great pic!, you do this for a living don't you? I think that the ships look bit "computer generated" compared to the background. (i ask too much huh?)

Steven wrote:Oct 10, 1996

Wow! I actually felt like I was there looking down onto the buildings, I almost got scared of heights for a second there!!

Andrew G wrote:Oct 9, 1996

Love the pic. Just a question, it seems like the aircraft/speeders look very much like the ones in your other pics (Outpost, On the path, etc). Any reason?

Heather wrote:Oct 5, 1996

Do you do posters? I'd love to have some if you do.

Trimus D'Alberon wrote:Sep 24, 1996
