Adrian Florea has built a spectacular utility ship. Not content to just build a great space ship, though, he’s captured it in the midst of an explosion. I love how Adrian has managed to capture the energy and motion of the explosion.
Adrian Florea’s excellent Zerg Baneling from StarCraft II just makes the game’s release date seem that much farther away.
And don’t miss Matt de Lanoy’s Banshee.
Adrian Florea is quite the talented builder and his creations always have that little extra bit of flair. This one has more than a little bit. Keep your head down and watch out for those sharks!
Thanks to Bruce for reminding me of this one…
