FULL VIEW HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ok, I feel I really need to mention this. I'm extremely proud of this piece of work. For the first time I think I'm fully satisfied with one of my work. For the first time I've reached the level of detail I always wanted to reach. This is definitely my best piece of space art so far, if not the best piece of work in my entire gallery. I'm sure there are many possibilities to make it even better. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. But for now, I'm absolutely happy with it. Enjoy it, full-view it, +fav it if you like. I'll probably see if can get some wallpapers out of this. Prints will obviously be available ASAP.
