Death Of A Warrior

Done for the DAZaholics weekly themed feature "Death of a Warrior." Being who I am, I read the title to the challenge and immediately thought "Death of a Colonial Warrior!" So here it is, the closest thing to Vipers I have getting blown up by the closest thing to Raiders I have. Because of course, I am still and always a Battlestar Galactica (original series) fan. If you like BSG, and you're okay with both AU fiction and slash, and you want to read the slash fanfiction this is kind of illustrates a scene from, ask and I'll point you to the story.
And... I kind of used the exploding not-Viper to justify buying Ron's War Essentials. Now I have a head full of moderately disturbing war-related images. Oh well, can't be rainbows and unicorns all the time, right?

What I used:
Destructor Space Fighter
Starship Cyclone
the rest is all Ron's brushes
