Salvage Prize

In orbit above a desert world a struggling privately-owned salvage company has made the find of a lifetime. It is an alien ship of unknown origin. Two brave and hungry salvagers are venturing in to secure this prize and see what treasures or horrors they are aboard.

I wanted to create an image that captured the adventure of finding something mysterious and alien. Anyone who has read this blog for any time has learned that I love derelicts and the mystery they hold. There's something beautiful about these silent and decaying machines.

This piece was created using Painter 8 with the help of Photoshop for some of the initial prepwork.
