LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR - I have NEVER played Starcraft 2 nor have I EVER previously seen an image that is similar to this. If you checkout my entire gallery, I produce work that is of my own imagination. I have nothing to hide which is why I fully link to every stock I use. I searched for space ships and this is one of a few ships that caught my eye. Doesn't matter what ship, I could have picked from a dozen. The concept of this piece is the IMPORTANT message. 'that Earth was not aware' - this is all I had in mind when creating and that is all. If I had not used a SC2 ship, none of this 'drama' would be present. It's an insult that a few people are masquerading and accusing me outright.
I have also been made aware that this is the 'back' of the ship. To me, as someone unaware of the ship details itself, looks like the back of it to me. That's how I intended it and that's how it appears. So thanks for pointing it out anyway.
______________________________________________
We are not alone. Sooner or later, an invasion will happen.
A medium-sized project but only because I did not want to make this OTT. Kept simple in the end.
EDIT: MASSIVE thank-you to both =Infinite705 and ^casperium for featuring this piece - lots of love to both of you

First of all, great piece of art!
As a Starcraft 2 player this looks like the Earth is defending itself from an invasion as the Battlecruiser is firing its Yamato Cannon (Yes you've probably heard this many times). It's interesting trying to imagine the front of the ship as the reverse. It's like one of those pictures where it's possible to see two distinct images in one. At the end of the day I just couldn't see the 'front' as the 'back' as you did but it really made me think nonetheless. It's pretty amazing how two people can interpret the same image in an entirely different way and it makes me wonder what hidden interpretations are in all the pictures I have seen and will continue to see over the years...

Fantastic work here. And yes, I'm a SC2 fan , but I think this looks great. Haters will hate.
Also, strictly speaking, the 'rear' of the ship is facing earth (if you consider it to be a Terran Battlecruiser from SC2) and it's flying away. Looks like it's firing it's main cannon. Not trying to nitpick, just an FYI. Either way, I get what you were trying to say. Still like it.
This is now my laptop wallpaper.

thanks so much! see this comment is constructive so thank-you very much I had no idea it was the other way around - my ignorance has been almost my downfall in this

No problem! Also, if anything, your "ignorance" made for a freakin' awesome piece of artwork, even if people don't get the meaning. So at least there's that.
Keep up the great work!

Hey man, it doesnt matter what other people think. Anyway I like your piece and that youve kept most of the ship as a dark shape and made it pop with the lights and one section over planet. Cool.

Beautiful! Love the concept too. I just I have one tiny gripe, and yes I read that you haven't played SC so its ok but, that battlecruiser is in reverse!
But since you're not going for something in the SC continuty I guesse its ok.
Fav'd.

thanks! I didn't quite know what way round it was - it looked like this was an angle point from behind

Whoa!, Awesome view, love the light and colors, doesn't look that much like the star-craft 2 ship, considering the SC 2 ship looks like a flatter version of the Klingon Negh'Var cruiser from star trek(who's copying who?lol,)
Great design anyways-FAVED!

It's a terran (human) battlecruiser. So "Earth was not aware" doesn't apply if you created this thinking that the spaceship was representative of an invasion.
Secondly, the ship is currently facing away from the planet, so again, not representative of an invasion.

mpk2 In reply to BellicoseBreakfast [2011-01-06 12:48:59 +0000 UTC]
yes, the technical details are incorrect but from when I saw the render, it looked like the back of the ship. thanks anyway

Let me guess. The UED is leaving/returning (which I doubt cause they were killed) Earth or is this just something you came up with? This is a cool piece right here.

just something I came up - would love to lie and say that what you said is true but I don't want to misrepresent :/ thanks.
