FUCKING AWESOMELY RAD!!! Dude this is so mega! I love ur backyard sooo much... can I come round for a visit? Hehe. I love everything, the lil ships... and the explosions, the planets... the only bit of the whole thing i'm not a fan of is the planet collision in the bottom right area. That looks a little tacky i think. Nehow as I said... Bloody sensational!!! A job well done and it's easy to see where ur 200+ hours went! Keep up the rad work!

Loving the upper left planet and the center abstract...also some of the brushings here and there


i dont like the way the starfield was made and the use of terragen in this peice


but overall it had wonderful depth and hopefully there will be a second one

Your backyard is nice.
The border is really big and unneeded. The rest is great. But try to keep the colors unde one universal color balance.

oggyb [2004-07-25 10:50:45 +0000 UTC]

This is a really good composite, very well done! The colours don't match in a few little areas but it doesn't matter cause the drama is still there! Excellent texturing of the planets and the rocks - they look realistic, and good render at the bottom!

... and I was expecting an actual backyard too. But screw that! If I had THAT as a backyard, I'd never leave!

Gyah, already there's helpful and encouraging comments about this... and I agree with them 110%! That and... aaaugh! I still have to work on the evil angel! Great job on this! The effort was worth it,

LOL, if it's THAT awkward to go with this name, I guess Dell, Adelle, or "HEY YOU!" would do, . I got Hey-Poo-Guy from this OOOLD Canadian skit show called Kids in the Hall, ... there was this guy who did ads with poo, and whenever people recognize him, they'd go, "HEY, POO GUY!"

X-FFA [2004-07-25 02:41:31 +0000 UTC]

more like 21 hours, 210 is a bit tops aint it?
the border is a bit to big as to my likings.
abstract blends on awesome
blue stars in the middle right dont blend in that well with the brown cloudy star stuff.
space rocks kick ass!
ring around the blue planet is awesome, blends good and is good and stuff... LoL!
the ship on fire rules
fire looks good although you dont get any fucking fire in space...!!!!!!!!!
if i was flying one of those space craft id be the one blowing up
why bother with the "1 of 1" when there aint exactly going to be a 2 of 1?
great besides that, good collaberation u 2.
abstract blends awesome except one glitch i can see.. worth a

Best piece you've done yet, yet I see one glaring thing that I don't like. The rock in the bottom left looks really bad in comparison to the rest of the piece where everything is done so perfectly.
