Away

There IS a story here. Maybe someday I'll even write it. However, I think it's just as approprete to let YOU see it for yourself. Isn't that what exploration's all about?

I NEVER thought I'd get this one done. Spent four days working on it, on and off. I wanted to get back into practice working with real colors, and I'd say I did. Defenately PROUD of this one.

Done entirly in Photoshop. The moon and planet were done using a few photoshop tricks, the ocean was cut and paste (reshaped, tooled with the smudge tool to look like water, and highlights added) Everything else is either painted in (including the stars) or touched up with a gradient. At a guess, twelve hours to do.
