This was probably my biggest poster-project so far.

Dozens and dozens of Photoshop layers (128 to be exact), countless hours of airbrushing and photomanipulation and a whole lot of editing and re-editing. And all in actual poster size!

But hey, it's Battlestar Galactica! You got to do something to celebrate the greatest science fiction of all time, right? ;)

This is also a homage to Drew Struzan -style movie posters.

Recently I did a Caprica -poster [link] in similar style too.

Thanks! :)

It's also a very spoiler-full poster, but so far no one's complained about that. :D

Hard to spoil when the series has (*sad sigh*) ended.

What I like is the way it evokes the epic style presented by the posters for the Star Wars saga. Very nice.

That's true, so no need for spoiler warnings! :D

Yeah, the star-wars-epic-approach was kind of obvious style for this... and since the real marketing material looks very modern, simple and clean I thought there was room for a traditional movie poster with tons of floating heads. ;)

Yup. :)

I wanted a bsg poster on my wall and couldn't find anything I like, so I had to make one myself! :D

Really? I didn't know that. :)

I have run in to it some other sites&places though. Kind of cool and a bit weird at the same time! :D

Tells more about the popularity of Ron Moores bsg than anything else, I suppose. :)
