2DGalactica Over Caprica

Dark Saber

Here is the finished Commission for :iconkclcmdr:.

Here is the description he wanted with the image:

The Forgotten Ones - Galactica Over Caprica

This is a depiction of the Galactica firing off her missiles
to intercept incoming Cylon Nuke Missiles as she falls thur
Caprica's atmosphere in order to eliminate as many of the
incoming before they impact on any Colonial Caprican Cities..

The title of this storythread that is being depicted her is

And excerpt of what is happening is below..


And suddenly she spoke, her voice one of thunder and fury.
Lances of searing light sprung forth from her metal hide,
each on reaching high into the sky, each one ending in a
conflagration of light. It wasnA’t a weapon to smite her foes
though, but a shield to guard her charges. In every direction,
as far as the eyes could see an ethereal wall of flame had
appeared made up of thousands of fireballs. At the centre
of this firestorm was the metal levithan, throwing more balls
of flame into the heavens as the previous ones died out.

Her form was growing larger, closer. With it, they could hear
the howl of the wind as she tore her way through the
atmosphere. Closer and closer she came to the ground,
seemingly uncaring about her impending demise in favour
of keeping the aegis of fire going.

She was close now, close enough that the ground rumbled
and panes of glass clattered in their frames from her howl.
Every lance of fire into the sky sounded like a deafening
clap of thunder, strong enough to send a massive tremor
through the ground.

Despite the sheer amount of devastation he had just witnessed,
he couldnA’t contain his half-mad laugh of relief. Caprica
City was still here.



This was a very interesting Commission to complete. The Galactica is a tough ship to get right in 2D,
I can only imagine what the many Artist that have touched or created the 3D model. I know she isn't
('100% accurate, but I did check with Doug Drexler on a few things since we never actually saw the Galactica
fire her missiles on screen. He told me about the missile doors on the spine. I improvised with the launchers
on the nose since the ports looked like missile Ports.

Galactica Created in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and taken into Adobe Photoshop CS6 for the rest of the image.
I stopped counting on the hours after 12 worked on it. Enjoy

Cool, not really my cup of tea but I can appreciate it. I have been getting into battlestar lately, good show.

BTW, you have some typos, actually a bunch of typos, in that written deal on the image...
