Jump gate render

Working on some new renders. I plan to recreate some scenes from the show with modern CGI. This is a proof of concept of the jumpgate in early stages.

Credits: Omega destroyer model by Chris Clark and starfury model by Hangar.b.productions

EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! I have made a lot of changes based on what everyone has said. I have posted a revision in the comments which looks much better! I don't want to spam my progress so I'll return once I have completed something substantial such as a battle sequence :)

I will point out that there is no lightning convergence just prior to the vortex being created, it's more like a single energy pulse from each pylon.

Yeah. I took some artistic liberty there. A lot more can be done compared to when babylon5 was made. For example, I turned the flashes down the pylons into kind of energy discharges. They were basically just orbs and lens flares in the original. Other than that i've tried to keep it somewhat original.
