Artwork: Behemoth attacking a planet

I am looking for a bit of constructive criticism on these images I have been messing about with, it is a Behemoth attacking research and engineering settlements on a Zikonian planet.

There are very slight differences between each three, mostly which filter has been applied to the base image.

Please be honest, I want to know which you prefer and whether something like this would fit within your imnage of the game.

Re: Artwork: Behemoth attacking a planet

The main problem with judging the filters comes from using JPEG as storage format for the pictures, there are artefacts coming from compression. Please use PNG which has losless compression.

Apart from that it would be cool if the ground would be textured and not just using the boring brown. Overall a nice start though

Re: Artwork: Behemoth attacking a planet

Its looks alright to start with
i think the beam could do with being more concentrated, because it looks more like its beaming stuff up onto the ship, or scanning it. It doesnt look like its about to blow the buildings up.
I think the "Base Render with sharpening applied." one looks the best out of the three.
