IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

This is Hederes, one of the huge ships of Edrenel's fleet. It's just a routine flying. The propellers are running at low-speed, the scout ships are flying aroud their mothership, and draw a strangely beautiful road to their mothership... What can happen behind this mountain? This ship is a relic from the War, and now, how many remembers this dark age? I feel lonely under this evening sky, there is so much silence... it's somewhat frightening. Life is so boring on those fortresses when there's peace... 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

All was done into povray (I'm very proud of that kind of performance from me, yes sir!)
The hull is made of blobs (metaballs).
The hull's textures are images taken from starwars models and modified on photoshop.
The top of the command tower are metaballs.
The mountain is an isosurface.
The small ships are metaballs.
The other elements are primitives.
