One wrong move. Wasn't Simon eaten by the frog? :-D I do remember a long tongue.

started sketching around...

I like how that moon came out.

Yes, it looks nice. When you continue on the planet, you do remember that the Earth and the moon are always lit from the same angle, right?
I'll try to align it to sun as a lightsource.
btw, is there an easy way to embed your big imgur uploaded images as thumbnails after the imgur userinterface revamp?
I think imgur is currently broken. The layout is all fucked up, and I don't see any comments at all.
My first-ever attempt using GIMP. Boy, felt like I started over and over a hundred times. At least I got a template so far.

Does it come easy to you, @selmiak? I feel like it will take me forever. :-[
been playing around with leaves. No idea how to shade them!

what does take you forever sketchess? Drawing?
Well, yes the ratio of time spent on the painting to the time the average person spents looking at it is in no relation, but it's great fun creating stuff...

I'll try to align it to sun as a lightsource.
The moon is aligned, but the shading of the earth really isn't (it implies a sun in the top-right corner-ish, and since the sun is way off in the distance, far more of the planet should be in shadow, which should also be darker, just like with the moon). Also, if we're at all concerned with astronomical accuracy, the axis of the earth looks tilted way off (though that might have something to do with the huge tree growing out of it), particularly when you remember that the earth, sun and moon are all more or less in the same plane (the ecliptic, which is why you regularly get eclipses like on Monday morning). Basically, if you just rotate the earth so that the shading lines up with the position of the sun, it would be more or less accurate.
Drawing? I'm not even near to that. I figured out how to handle these sassy brushes a bit. There must be a trick to it, I just can't see it yet. The manuell is not very helpful. Well learning by doing, I'm on some first rough outlines.
Don't wait for me guys, I'm just not ready yet. (roll)
I didn't like the scribbled leaves, so I made a leaf brush. If you ever make a leaf brush DON'T add a stem. It's just annoying, trust me!

@Mouthforwar:
thanks, I likeyour shark attack too. Especially now that you added some more ... taste (for the shark) to it.
one day to go, if anyone needs an extension let me know!
I will hopefully finish my entry tonight and post the result later on...
I'll see tons of places where it needs improvement tomorrow, but yeah, this is done for now! My comp entry.

everyone shouting 'please make this game' has to team up with me, visit space for research purposes and then make the game!

vote under different aspects or just vote for one?
Well I vote for Selmiak then. Unique design and really well done!
oh sorry, vote for the one you like best :)
Well I vote for Mouth for war then. I dig that wrinkle under the sharks nose and the overall gory scene!
My vote must go to selmiak...That is just way too trippy-awesome!!!
My vote goes to Grok, it's something about that picture that got me.
I vote for Selmiak! Definitely :D
My votes goes to... selmiak.
I vote for Mouth of War. His picture is really impressive in full size. Kudos for leaving the head of the shark in the dark.
@ Selmiak : Nice composition, very detailed.
@ Grok : Simple yet effective. Pretty colours, as always with you. It's the only true background here, although it looks like a normal house with bonsai trees.
I wish Sketchess had the time to finish her giant table. It looked promising.
Thanks for the kind words, but I never intended to make a giant table out of it. (roll) GIMP is still driving me crazy, grr.
EDIT:
I'm a snail, I know. I might should finish it. At least it is practice.

Selmiak. That is frickin' bonkers! I have literally never seen anything like that before, and I've seen a whole lot of things.
Thanks Silverspook! :-D 8-) Yeah, I didn't even bother looking up reference images of trees in space ;-D
I'm'a vote for Selmiak. I would happily have that on my wall. (nod)
