Grand Space Opera. Icons of Galactic Civilization and Conflict

Daniel Wade

See astounding art that spans galaxies, and contains action, drama, adventure, excitement, intrigue, romance... all the elements that make up a thrilling science fiction fantasy. In addition, this is an invaluable learning tool, as some hand-picked images have «how to» sections, explaining the 3D or 2D methods used.

All of the images in GSO were created for one of Ballistic Media’s CG Challenges the biggest community of digital artists fighting it out in the world’s biggest digital art competition. The challenge was set with terms like Megalithic, Gargantuan, and Epic, and those brave enough to accept the challenge delivered in unprecedented numbers. Only the best images were chosen for this invaluable resource, and are shown in Ballistic’s renowned high quality format, in which images maintain all their vibrancy and detail from the screen to the page.
