Back on topic now.
F4 Phantom render is really good...almost looks like a painting, not a render. <3 the flying brick.
Anyone who knows the dragonlance series may appreciate this.
I think they captured him pretty well
The termination dust just arrived today. It's really beautiful on the mountains surrounding our beautiful city.

Got a higher res pic? I can't really appreciate it at that scale.
Can't find much pics of termination dust in Anchorage on the net. I'll try taking a picture on my moms camera later.
E:
Anybody know of a free picture hosting site that will allow pictures up to 8MB?

I'm putting them in shot tags unless someone tells me otherwise.
Must spread rep :maddowns:
Awesome pictures annihilation

Got one more for you.
That just makes me think.
What else is out there?
Is there a heaven beyond the galaxies?
Is the whole universe endless?
Is the universe we live in just a small part of something bigger?
God damnit now I'm going to be thinking about this all day.
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!

Hi Alwin,
Thanks, I am glad you like my work. Unfortunately, I cannot distribute larger resolution images. Ensemble was kind enough to let me post those images on my site and I don't want to do anything to mess that up!
I am bummed to miss out on your buddy club:)
all the best,
Dylan

We will thank you a lot and let you join our buddy club.

Doesn't Ensemble, y'know, not exist anymore?
Send him an email, and ask him.
everyone should send emails like this, that way he'll do it.
You're right, it doesn't. They disbanded after Halo Wars.Quote:

Ok, so figure out which studio controls the copyrights, and send them an email. Worst case scenario they ignore you, best they allow it.Quote:

What the hell are they doing that close to earth?
Our beautiful home planet is the best picture.

Holy shit
I remember seeing that New Zealand one on Nasa's photo of the day last year :neckbeard:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9...olcanoerup.jpg There's an animation of about 5 frames of this as the ISS moves - it's pretty neat.
It's amazing how beautiful earth is,
It's even more amazing that there's people in this world that fuck it up.
I found a similar one:
Holy damn.
This thread needs moar space pictures!
Moar.
I heard you wanted more space pics.
Space is the greatest thing ever :neckbeard:
space owns
thats why we went, we and space have so much in common.
We are beautiful, and we own.
[quick return to past conversation]
I contacted Microsoft about finding a larger version of that epic forerunner concept painting, as follows:
Today they responded with this useless mess:Quote:

Message: Hello,
Myself and a large number of interested internet-goers are interested in obtaining a wallpaper-sized version of a beautiful Ensemble Studios concept art, located for reference here:
http://www.dylancolestudio.com/sketc...oConcept3.html
We have contacted the artist, but he says he is not allowed to release a higher-resolution version unless given permission by Ensemble Studios, which owns the rights. However, Ensemble was disbanded last year, meaning Microsoft would theoretically hold the general rights. Is it possible for us to request such a public release through this channel? If not, where might we try next?
Much thanks,
Noah Bronstein (as well as assorted others)
Basically they told me that don't even want to think about it. Fine.Quote:

Back to epic pictures.

Booo.
Space is such an epic place.
e: surprising how much shit there is on the exterior of the iss
this is Space thread nao~
I've always found the Buran to be a great metaphor for Russia at the time it was constructed.
The scale, the effort,
http://www.aerospaceguide.net/pics/buran_MIK.jpg
The brilliance, the perfectionism,
The ultimate, inevitable failure.
http://www.buran.ru/images/jpg/bbur90.jpg
It saddens me a little.
e: holy shit that image is bigger than I though, *shotted*.
Last picture made me sigh. :(
What's the story behind that?
Apparently the Buran was a semi-successful Soviet shuttle project which never went anywhere after the space program was scrapped in '93. The Buran was stored in a hanger until 2002, when the hanger collapsed, resulting in the destruction of the shuttle.
I'm tired of the space pictures...
Anyone got any futuristic ones without space?
Edit: nvm Im interetsted in space again:
I've seen that irl :realsmug: Its an amazing volcano one of the only ones that basically never stops erupting.Quote:

The PAK FA is the most beautiful aircraft I've seen.
It reminds me of the Northrop YF-23, the plane which was competing with the F-22.Quote:

Real E: Waaaaait a second.... is it just me or are the third and fourth pics a different plane?
Damn that's one sexy plane.
Looks more like the shuttle somehow got deepfried first.Quote:

Sukhoi haven't released a single image of it, not even a quick scribble done on a napkin. The dude's just taking logical design features and making his own concept of what it might look like.Quote:

Picture of Earth, taken just about half an hour ago from a live feed of some satellite in orbit right now (lost the link, will try to dig it up again).
If you've ever seen Chicago at night you know that it glows bright fucking orange and can be seen for 100 miles in every direction as an aura on the horizon.
not surprised, but that is cool

mmmm yes nice thread
It's difficult to appreciate the scale of that vehicle until you stand next to it. Now that's a fucking rocket.
