I decided to put together some imagery with a model I made a couple of years ago. Originally I made the model in 3ds max and then converted it to Maya when I switched apps. But I hadn't done alot with it since then, as I've always been caught up with other things. I'm currently working on a related project (the Reliant from STII over in wip), and I needed a break from modeling. So I decided to pull this model out of retirement and make a composition with it. All of the elements were rendered in 3d and then composited in Photoshop.

I also have a 1280x1024 version avaliable.
