The Blade ship of Visser Three, from the Animorphs books by K.A. Applegate.

The scene is from the prologue of book 8. Elfangor and all the Andalites go to battle the Yeerks orbiting Earth, leaving Aximili alone in the dome of the ship. He looks at the dead moon of the planet and sees the silhouette of a Visser's Blade ship. The concealed Blade ship turns the tide of the battle against the Andalites, and their fleet is destroyed.

I created the ship in Maya.

Wow, that, and the story behind it, gives me chills. Excellent!

That Blade Ship is way better than the one I'm making in Maya.

I built the Blade Ship using schematic drawings from Scholastic - you can find them here: [link]

I know about Hirac Delst. I used those same diagrams, too, but I didn't have as much time as you did. In fact, you can see the end result of my work on my YouTube profile (same name). I hope to find time to post full-size screenshots/renders to DeviantArt soon.

(I wish Scholastic would release higher-res versions of those schematics, or better yet, actual 3D models that had to have existed to make those diagrams.)

Thanks! Made the star field in photoshop and manipulated a stock image for the moon.

Also, could you estimate the size of the Blade ship in meters? I would like to know how it compares to Star Wars, Star Trek, and all other scifi franchises.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!

Do more. I recommend the Jahara next. I think that was the correct spelling of shamed War-Prince Alloran's ship before, it was lost.
