This started off as a speed painting, but eventually I added enough detail that I decided to just keep going ahead and finishing it off. The lighting was inspired by some lighting I saw driving into work on a stormy day. Everything was done in photoshop except for the ships, they are a 3d element. The towers are a mixture of handpainting and photomanip, as is the sky.
