Description
I never really walk into a work of art knowing exactly what I want to do with it. In fact, I never usually even have an idea for it in my head. I find a stock image that inspires me, and I work around that. I'm too spontaneous to put ideas in stone, I like the ability to transform, add, and remove as I'm creating.I'm pretty pleased with the results here. I did not use my traditional method of starfielding, and I went out of my way to try new things. So here is the result after a number of hours of work, and music from the Gladiator soundtrack on repeat the whole time.
Thanks goes to a couple of stocks:
Lighthouse at Yaquina Head 02 by ~DalCais
Lightning 4 by ~night-fate-stock

Thank you! Yeah, the turn out of the planets in this one are probably the best I've done yet, so at least something is improving.

Holy crap... I think my PC would of died from sheer lag at that resolution.

Haha, yeah. My computer actually did surprisingly well... except when saving or apply gaussian blurs... wasn't so appreciative then.
I just logged into =Space-Club . That place has become a hot spot... I've been so dead lately I haven't been able to see much progress there. You think we should try running weekly theme contests?

Ahh... gaussian blur... the silent killer...
Yeah, I just finished updating the gallery... I dunno about weekly contests... we'd have to be able to keep up with that. I mean, don't we still have that pack thing going on? (I've just been doing the updates... O_o).
But it's not a bad idea.... maybe bi-weekly? hehe.

Hah. Yeah... bi-weekly, that would work. I actually just sent a note to ~aRchAng3lZz asking if he'd like to join us on the mod-team. I need to finish that pack...

It's alright, I trust you.
I think we should definitely get the community involved in some nice competition action, and yeah, between the three of us we should be able to maintain regularity.

Rockin'... by the way... you are about to be officially my co-founder. Cuz that's how awesome you are.

Haha, awesome! ('bout time! 
Hmm? What?
Um... on a different note... what happened to the other co-creator? O_o Haven't heard of her at all, really. Which is kinda odd, come to think of it.
