Description

I suppose the title is a bit of wishful/hopeful thinking on my part. Creatively I've been really struggling, that and having significantly less time than I'd prefer (much less the $ to play with, but I digress) I seem to be really unproductive of late. I'm even having a hard time finding time to spend looking at and commenting on the quality work people are posting here. So I'm spending a bit more time just looking up, looking for that elusive inspiration, and marveling at the strange and wonderful universe I live in. Thanks for taking a look folks! This nebula was made entirely within Photoshop, the stars came from the Plugin called "Glitterato" which was then altered quite a bit to give it a more random feel and the flare-spikes. The nebular clouds were made from photos of actual clouds.

Time is the fire in which we all burn, Soren said in Star Trek: Generations and I loved the delivery of that line. Honestly, it was a better movie than people say it is. Funny how that works. But anyway, I totally understand your time constraint matters as I'm dealing with much the same of late: lots of time to work but not much time to do anything else! Writing? What's that? Oh yeah, it's that stuff I did a long time ago. Though in all honesty, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to write a few pages tonight, as I have an idea. But all of that is just one massive digression. What I mean to say is that this is an amazingly gorgeous image. It has a wonderful sense of depth and I love the color. I always like blue nebula thingies: reflection nebulae, though I have recently learned of a rare yellow nebula. Nice. This image is superb.

Time (or lack of it) and work seem to be taking a toll on a lot of folks lately. I know sometimes I get discouraged when there is little time for creativity, and at times it does tend to put the muse to sleep. It will pass. The problem with my muse is that she NEVER seems to sleep! She's always awake, constantly chattering, and putting all kinds of ideas in what's left of my mind. Gotta get that girl some decaf.... But like Chip, I digress.... When you do find the time and inspiration, you never fail to just knock me right out of my chair with these amazing space-scapes! Brilliant work, Mike!

Pretty! I like the swirl around the central star. Excellent work. A least you have time to finish some art. Me, I'm focusing what little free time I have on writing.
