Very VERY nice. That is a vast improvement over the last one you did. Which is not to say the last one was bad, but this one really kicks ass.



I have a couple of suggestions, for finishing purposes:

1. Add some lights and whatnot to the Building windows. Some flickering ones would look good too.

2. Some smoke or some kind of exaust would help also.

3. Ships small and large flying this way and that to add depth.

4. A few levels of fog or atmosphere moving in front of the city, in different spacing towards the camera for parallax which will add more depth.



But again, those are finishing touches, and would not work if the piece itself was not a solid one.

Good job mate, and keep em comin.
