Description
In late 2112, the S.A.S. Victoria performs its final deceleration burn before settling into orbit about Sedna, one of the Solar System’s most enigmatic TNO dwarf planets. It passes alarming close to Sedna’s newly detected, small asteroidal moon, Tupilaq. Using an advanced fusion drive, Victoria’s mission is to shuttle men for the first time in a direct investigation several of the larger Kupier objects. The ship is self-captained by its eponymously named A.I. Due to its unusually distant and elliptical orbit, Sedna has been considered the most intriguing target of the mission, as data has continued to mount indicating that it may be a captured body of extraterrestrial origin.Rather similar to my last work, but I'm on distant dwarf planet theme. I'll try to mix it up more next time.

Thank you! After the Pluto encounter I think I might do it a tad differently, giving Sedna some more varied terrain detail.

Like a lot of his stuff, it's a great model.... but you have a heard time telling that from his promos.

Ooo very nice. The thumbnail gave me a different impression as to what I would find when I opened it, but you know my mind Rob

That is a very well done ship model, and your composition is great, especially with how close the ship does seem to be in relation to the asteroid. What catches my attention the most though, is the lighting. You have a source somewhere off to the left, and another one behind Sedna itself. Rather intriguing! That, combined with your written background/description has definitely evoked a sense of wonder in me.

If it inspired a sense of wonder, then I'm delighted! That's the nut of what I'm after. And yeah - I really like this ship model. It's a pretty fresh design.

I love the light of the drive on Tupilaq! Beautiful palette, too.
