Great, lovely combination of the planet with the model within the same color scheme, the planet itself is wonderful, nearly symmetric… :)

I have the oposite reaction to ~Selle – I’m drawn to the figure. She’s like the slit in a cat’s eye.

Geez, talk about “the world revolves around me…”
Mel Brackstone replied
Is that you?
Gregoryno6
Silly woman. I’d never look that good in a dress.
Mel Brackstone replied
I don’t think your hair is quite that colour either….
Gregoryno6
It might be, if I channelled Kitsmumma or Tania.
Hmm. Perhaps ‘channelling’ isn’t quite the appropriate verb in this context.
Mel Brackstone replied
Yeah, I think that’s a little too much information there mister….
billyboy
Thought I’d check out what I’ve been missing out on these days…
WOW this is cool. Seen the effect before, even a tutorial, but you so nailed it here. Looks like a Rolls Royce propeller engine head-on!
Love your background texture and how you integrated the model. Your stylist work is always so integral.
I’ll be looking in more often!!
