Extraordinary n huge work... Excellent chipp
Truly awe isnpireing picture. I like the composition and the hight of the mountain that gives a great effect of scale. The only thing I think looks a bit odd is the building to the right looks a bit small in comparison with the people/ailiens to the left. Secondly the little blue splotch in the upper right corner could be painted black. Awsome picture!
Great work indeed. I loved that series of books, read them so long ago, it was kind of nostalgic to see this piece now. Thanks!
Remember the story! Great Picture!
Awesome
A great view superbly done !
WOW! Yes, classic series and a fine tribute.
