David you are the man. I could never do what you have done here. Just awsome.

I am happy other people appreciate your work as much as I do.

Awesome work as usual David.
The skulls, the ship, the sand – Now tell me; why do I have a feeling I have seen this motif before ?

Q1: How many years have I been doing Graphics?

A1: Well, If you mean 'Computer Graphics' then the answer is 25 years. If you mean graphics in general, then the answer is since I was a wee lad and crayons were my medium of choice. If you mean 'Professionally' the answer is about 25 years but not exclusive to computers. Thanks for asking.

Q2: What program(s) did I use to make this?

A2: Bryce 5, with a beautiful ship model that Atrocities made using Doga. The skull objects are part od a 3D model collection I have on CD. The rest is pure Bryce 5. Oh, and a bit of post production in ArtGem and I use PSP 8 to convert the original .bmp to .jpg (it does the best job and I can tweak the quality using the 'optimizer')

Q3: Why does the motif look familliar?

A3: Yeah, I got that same feeling when I made my first render. I think I remember an old sci-fi book that had cover artwork that is similar.

/end of mini Q&A

Cheers!

David they are right, this would make a nice "Your Empire Is Dead" image.

And the ship was the Enterprise (Star Trek) on the cover, but David has taken the look to a whole new level. Its absolutely haunting.

Great work, and ya I would love to see more.
