'they walked among the stars like gods, they battled under the rays of 1000 suns before finally their fate was sealed...' another of my SF-renderers, this time I was working on including some technical spaceship stuff... etc. (all done in Photoshop, only photos used were stone textures used as brush patterns to paint the planetary geography)

Awesome work! I would really like to see how these ships move through space.

THIS IS SWEET!!!
I wish I could do that. I attempt to draw stuff like that sometimes, but it never works. I love the planets, but the spaceships look like they might have trouble leaving the ground, or maybe there made out of a really light space metal, ’cuz they’re huge. Keep up the good work.

Does the name at all come from My Chemical Romances new song, "The Black Parade"?

Love me some space art. Great picture, this. To the person who commented on the ships' configuration: Spaceships don't have to be compactly-built, finned and streamlined affairs like the Space Shuttle, not if they were assembled in the microgravity of orbital shipyards and never were meant to enter a planet's atmosphere or gravity well. They could look like thistledown or conch shells if the designers so wished.

I guess a battle tune would suit the image quite nicely. Excellent work with Photoshop!
