gold leaf

the text reads 'sabishi kanjyo' in japanese, can be translated as 'a lonely feeling'. not sure about the gold leaf effect as opposed to flat black, but i have left it for now.

Space!

Planet funkotron!
A star is born deep within the nebulae.

When dark-matter is created.


Started with an experiment to make a basic starry background. Then got carried away...

Update: Cloud

Update: Last render looked flat so I went back and added some red lighting and adjusted the levels.
Pencils by Don Flores, colors by me. This is an old sketch from a few years back, "the new cloud" from FFVII series.
