I am back from an involuntary hiatus. A friend, his wife, and I bought and remodeled a building, starting a couple small businesses in two of the storefronts. If that sounds like a major time killer, it was. (Is)

This is based on an image I did as a concept for card backs for a game. It would have had a silhouette of a group of creepy minions however.

The original concept was more powdery splashes of color. But in compromising with the contrast I wanted, it ended up looking like damage from an intergalactic paintball war.

The space scenes are the most clicked on in the Sci-Fi gallery, so I will be adding more planetary images. They will probably remain in the sci-fi gallery, as the scaling and positioning of even the most realistic scenes, will still be dictated by composition more than reality.

On the edge of the giant mushroom plateau, watching the moon rise. Got all the way to uploading this before noticing one of the mushrooms didn't light up. I had to remake 1/3 of the image.

I filed this under objects, because this exaggeration of the moon goes a bit too far to be considered real world scenery.

This went through 3 or 4 designs before I hit the one I like. I'm glad I didn't settle for an earlier version.

What would the earth look like if our solar system were near a reflection nebula?

Is this science fiction? actually yes, the Earth as seen from the moon is much smaller on the lunar horizon.
