Aww not my screen size, oh well but wow very nice it looks like a futuristic city built over a canyon of sorts, or a floating city, I dunno. XD I love the sci fi look though

This image is exactly why awards exist.

Congratulations on creating one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen. I hope a print comes out of this, simply stunning! :D

And here I am thinking no more "heavy" competition wasn't going to be added lol. I have a plasma ball :XD: the rule. To me, this looks like some futuristic energy plant had exploded, cool effect with an orange sphere on the inside, and the blue layer further out 8-)

And nice buildings of course.

Why is delivering things in a car called "Shipment" while delivering things by boat is called "Cargo" ?

Very nice piece, how did you do the buildings, they are very reminiscent of the ones in the newer Starwars movies.
Love the plasma effect in the background, great eye candy.

Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

i could see this as a definite DD too :P
it looks great. the ';planet' actually reminds me of the PowerSunBall thing from Spiderman 2 (i forget what they called it).
the city is amazing . i dont think its too overboard either :)

Hey, isn't that Senator Padme Amidala's apartment building from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy on the right side of the picture?? :)
