Description
This probably was once the remnants of an exploded star, now it moves towards a kind of rebirth as a new system of worlds. Oddly fulfilling that line from Babylon 5: That future is always born in pain".
--------------
I just can't seem to leave the nebulae alone. I started this out with the idea of a huge swirling mass that was turning into a solar system. But, I ended up with a semi-swirling thing that is more of an intimidating place for a starship than anything else.
I do think it looks pretty, though.
Thanks for taking a look. I'm aiming towards my stories again, but right now don't have the energy to spare for more than play as work has kept me extremely busy

Fabulous colors and design... gorgeous work my friend!
Awesome! I swear I can see it move!!
Apt Title! Not a place a starship would want to venture~
This is an awesome image! You have a profoundly great sense of color here, and I love that! Ah...the future is always born in pain...I remember that line! As for starships venturing there...well who knows what riches may lurk inside?! If it's remnants of an exploded star, well...there's all kinds of stuff in there that a good ramscoop could suck right out. But that's just me, I'm crazy like that.
WOW!! this is AWESOME!!!! very impressive work!!!
Truly "far out." Who knows what alien civilization will emerge from that cloud some day? Great original sci-fi.
