Okay...just for fun, I did this render as a test of my rendering skills. I'm just starting to learn this, but im slowly getting the hang of 3D rendering and then 2D manipulation.

So voila!

That looks great.. but are you sure that could be considered "deep space"? It looks more like high orbit.

Yeah, just because icefeire didn't notice the planet sitting right there doesn't mean we can take potshots at his work

Like the pic. Just a minor point though, shouldn't the Golgotha
be dark on the side we are looking at? The sun appears to be
on the other side going by the shadows on the planet. As I
said, a minor point. Other than that it looks very good.

Oops! Didn't even know that forum existed. I'll be sure to check
it in future before I open my big mouth.

To me the sun looks like Capella's sun around about it going supernova. On the last level take a look at it, its green(sorta).
