My entry for the CG Society Accelerate Challenge.

Senturon Mining Corporation celebrates the discovery of rich new sources of titanium by sponsoring the first Regatta Stellare. Employees and their families are invited to observe from the lounge of one of the many burgeoning mining stations. The solar sail race is more spectacular than expected, with ships accelerating to unprecedented speed, thanks to a nova. Senturon Shark, the all-titanium scout ship fitted with sails for the event, makes a stunning debut as it passes near the station in a daring maneuver to take the lead.

I have long admired how Mr. Mead sets up the anticipation and excitement of an event surrounding his presentation of the vehicle design. The scenes of family togetherness depicted in some of his work are particularly touching and most memorable for me.

I have incorporated these important themes in my concept modeled with Maya and painted in Photoshop.
