Desert Docking Bay - Ubisoft NEXT 2021

So excited to show my piece for the Ubisoft NEXT challenge for 2021! I'm pretty proud of how this came out, definitely learned a lot about my process along the way. This has to be my biggest scale piece yet, and I'm glad that this challenge really set out to push my boundaries!

I wouldn't have done it with the feedback and encouragement of my peers and my professors. So grateful for everyone!

I decided to add another layer of story to the brief, just to push that narrative:

Humans have long deserted Earth, leaving it uninhabitable for years- until a transmission was received from the planet we once called home. A ship was found. The theories on "Otherworldly Ancients" ufologists claimed 600 years ago were true.

Is this ship evidence of their existence- and return?
