Description Whew - my first upload in ages! It's been quite busy this year, so I've had very little time to do personal artwork.

This image started as a rough 3D model (created in Lightwave) and I more or less painted over the whole thing by the time I was finished with it.

The planet - orbiting an orphan star adrift in the intergalactic void - is named in honor of a friend and fellow artist.

I used some Hubble images as the basis for the distant galaxies:

One might say that for a "remote outpost" to be on such a grand scale... the human economy has expanded considerably from the humble levels seen in the world today!

Welcome back, bud! You just popping by or are you hoping to stick around a while?
Cool work - something like a cross between a pair of pyramids, a pair of volcanoes, and Tyrell Towers.
