Scientists have found the beginnings of life-bearing chemistry at the center of the galaxy. Iso-propyl cyanide has been detected in a star-forming cloud 27,000 light-years from Earth.



I wanted to create something more realistic for this one. Hope you like it

No high resolution digital download for this one. I uploaded maximum resolution because I painted it at 1920x1200.



The idea behind this piece was to create a space background you might see in a video game like Eve Online. I've been in such awe of Carl Edlund's nebulas he created for Eve, just WOW. It took about 3 hours of effort to create this, and it originally was very very dark. Later I realized I had set my monitor brightness far too high for whatever reason, when I got a headache later that night. So when I revisited the work I had to duplicate the base layer (all the nebula was painted on one "Linear Dodge" layer) twice, tripling the brightness. Like I do on all my pieces, the print file is even brighter, so that when printed it looks more vibrant and colorful.
