Greetings, everyone. So, I've read through all the previous background blitzes (is that a word?) and the suggestion thread. I've noticed that there seems to be very few space suggestions, maybe people just think it's too cliche. But since it's a hot topic in the news (with the Saturn probe) I've decided to make this blitz about SPACE.
I'd like to make this one very open, so people can be as creative as they want. I'd suggest a space ship or station, location is up to you. Deep space, orbiting a planet, inside a giant asteroid, whatever works. What the craft looks like is up to you - what do you think future (or past) civilizations will use (or used) to explore the stars?
Size: 320 by 200 or 320 by 240
Colors: max of 256
Thanks again for voting for me, and I'm looking forward to the entries!
Heya!
Awesome Blitz theme, really! :D
Here's my entry, 320x200, 55 colours :)

Was I supposed to make a spacecraft?
Ah nevermind... her's one :)

Not my best work, but thankfully not my worst either.

Just a quickie.
It's uh, a hut on an asteroid with a rocket there. The lighting reminds me of a planet I landed on on noctis...
Puddin: Sorta like Capricorn one
Scotch: Nifty!
Or the 'moon landings' in '69 ;)

Kirk - Take us back to where we're supposed to be Mr Sulu, warpfactor three.
Mr Sulu - But captain, we'll crash right into that planet!
Kirk - What planet?... Ohh....
* Sound of enterprise hitting the planet *
That's how it happened, right?
EDIT:
Yeah right! I should have got that pass to Riker... ;)

Considering it's s'posed to be the Enterprise D, I kinda doubt it.
Well, here's an anitique ship deal in the future... on a truly classic model...

Great pictures from everybody! I think it's time to vote. Actually, it was probably time to vote a couple days ago, but I just playing this by ear. Let's pick a winner!
I loved everybody's backgrounds, but I've got to pick one, so:
Scotch gets my vote. I love the shading and lighting. Very mysterious.
I'm going to vote for Iqu.
/me votes for scotch
'gal
(i'd vote for scotch, but some competition might be nice ;) )
My vote goes to scotch, with Custy's in second for the idea.
mine goes to HighwayGal I really like the use of colours and how they contrast, very nice shading too.
Scotch...
Nice pic

Okay, I think that's it. SCOTCH is the winner! I think all the backgrounds were great. I'm happy that everybody got into this so much.
