This is a picture that I've done out of random inspiration thanks to the revitalization of listening to one of my favourite progressive/uplifting vocal trance tracks, Alone Tonight (Original Mix) by Above & Beyond. (Though the Above & Beyond Club mix is the iconic focus to this since that one is almost the same-sounding, only a bit longer)

The upper half of the picture is the astral atmosphere while the lower half is the space water field. It didn't take as long as I thought it would considering the techniques I've done. Anyway, I plan on retouching the colors, adding starwaves as part of the astral ocean, and making a version of this to both enhance the picture and add another starsurfer, someone that I have yet to draw. (Not the one from "Sailing the Western Firestars of Life")
I'm thinking of someone big, blue, and beastly. ;)
