**Backdated for historical purposes**
As a disclaimer, these post titles are what the original files were named as. I only deviate if I know the piece had a specific name or title.
With that, I have no idea what “POP” was supposed to mean, but you have a space battle almost befitting of Ancient Aliens going on here. I’m pretty sure all the planets were meant to be in the image like classic sci-fi. You have a Concorde-esque like space cruiser with the ‘droop snoot’, under attack by a variety of starfighters. One has a very practical, Starfox-like appearance, while the other carries that “bird form” look with the wings.
I have no idea what’s going on with the planet’s surface, but I’m going to guess those are some dirt highway. It might also be band striping on planets or a mountain range, considering it sticks up on the horizon.
And that explosion I’m pretty sure is the space cruiser having launched a fighter to combat the other ships, but it got blown up right after. I’m pretty sure there was a nod to an animal design too, considering the nose was cold and the back end was brown like an eagle.
Lots of action in a 1996 piece, right?
From the file’s date, I have a sneaking suspicion this file may not have been created at home. It’s very likely this was made at a relatives house, likely my Mom’s family in New Jersey with their PS/2 tower.
