I consider it finished.  What do you think?  I had to fake media using
discs.

A very cool spacecraft.  Nice going.  I'm sure someone will bring up the fact
that there probably shouldn't be such glowing lights in the vacuum of space.
Oops, I just did--- pay no attention to me.

:-)  You're right, but it looks cool that way :-)

Yup, that looks finished to me too. Sweeet!

I can't tell. That means you did a good job. :)

The "fact" ?

On the contrary, these lighting effects are perfectly reasonable,
because they are the sort of effects that can be produced within one's
eye, a window pane, or inside a camera. The halation in this scene
isn't being produced in the vacuum of space, but in the vicinity of
the observer, which could very well contain an atmosphere,
less-than-perfect optics (eye or camera), and a less than perfect
recording medium (film, sensor, or retina.)

The halation is a circular pattern centered at the point of maximum
brightness, not a projected "beam", such as an automobile's headlight
shining through a hazy atmosphere. This sort of halation can be
produced, even if viewing an object located in deep space.

For the record, this image is one of the best space images I remember
seeing here.  I hope to see more work like this in the future.

Later,
Glen Berry

Spaceship renders are usually a big turn off for me, but this has something I
find very attractive.  Thinking about the glow from the "headlights", perhaps we
could consider this as some sort of micrometeorite shield that is visible as an
ionisation glow :-)

I like it so much I shall use it as wallpaper for a while. Thanks Zeger.

Nice explanation, but ionization of what? The gaseous remains of a 
meteorite that just hit/got hit?
Anyway, as mentioned by Glen Berry, this sort of thing is usually caused 
by the lens, not the atmosphere.

The gaseous debris of a recently destroyed foe?
