Another fleet painting, this time of an invasion capable Battle Cruiser.

From the same specialized shipworks that created the colossal protectorate flagship, this ship is designed to command and deliver serious firepower deep into enemy space, with or without an accompanying fleet.
Three main forward cannons handle long range engagements, 12 turrets house secondary gun pairs that provide closing range firepower. Various other points give protection against smaller threats. Onboard is carried a compliment of fighters and gunships, along with the capability to carry and launch a strike battalion via dropships.

Hey Shimmering Sword,

Your work is spectacular, your paintings spur the imagination, and provide tonnes of storyline in them as well, for instance this piece of work, you could write a whole novel based simply upon the life onboard the cruiser, or following one minor crewman, or even a sci fi epic based on a galactic civil war.

This piece here is reminiscent of Homeworld art, gaming and concept art, which is by no means bad, it's one of my all time favourite universes, you paint in the same mannerisms, scale (of epicness) and allow the viewer to fully comprehend the magnitude of the scene.

I could immerse myself in this painting, build some intricate plot just by sitting there and daydreaming with this infront of me, and I think it is mostly because of the background scene, the cruiser, albeit being an awesome structure, lacks the detail which would make it majestic, or menacing. It's awesome, but I believe a tad bit more work on the cruiser and this will find itself on my wall

Keep up the good work dude, cheers for sharing your talent

Is the main cannon of sorts a projectile launcher, like a gauss cannon, or projected energy based ,like plasma?

Physical projectiles, which can include missiles.

Dude.
Those colors are awesome, the scenery is awe-inspiring. I stared at this for like 5 minutes trying to determine how big this ship was exactly, just to put it into some kind of perspective. Very engaging work, excellent job!

It's a pretty big ship, not many bigger until you get into rare flagships and fortresses :)
