Ah, feels good to get back to the good ol scifi stuff. Now this piece is one for you planet lovers out there. These two chaps are in my oppinion my best work so far on the planetside. I tried out several new techniques wich i've been thinking about since when i made the tutorial. I wanted to make a planetdominated scene, with elements who wouldn't draw away attention, but i couldn't help it so i had to include a tiny nebula to the rightside . The piece is big, in filesize that is, the reason for it is that jpg kills my stars, dunno why, but they all fade out. Thats why i've done it in png this time, so here you have the large version.

I've included three sizes in the zipfile:
1600 x 1200
1280 x 960
1024 x 768

That should do the trick for most monitors

Hope you like this one guys, it was a blast making it
