I was listening to the The 13th Warrior soundtrack while working on another piece, I liked the movie and the soundtrack so much that I had to do this. If you haven't seen the movie, rent it. The soundtrack is incredible, great roleplaying music, it has my vote. The ship is a model that came with Carrara. The people were airbrushed with Paintshop Pro, as well as the ropes and the details on them. Rendered with Bryce, post-rendering work with Paintshop Pro, Painter and KPT.
