The Loneliness of the Long Distance Lensman ------------------------------------------- Created: - Originally in May 2003 - Reworked January 2005 Created with: - BRYCE v5.01 (rendered in) - Photoshop v5.5 (sepia toning and border effect) ================================= About: ------ This image started out in 2003 as a playaround in BRYCE primarily because I mocked up a scene to create some random-based skies to add to my own BRYCE sky library for future use. At one point I finally stumbled on that "big moon' effect that I've seen in other peoples work, and the scene then evolved on from there. Later on though I removed the big moon and used a more standard looking moon in the scene to get the starkness I wanted rather than some romantic looking feel. ;-) In January 2005 I loaded up the 2003 final TIFF version into Photoshop and played around with it to make it mellow for my desktop, especially for tired eyes / late night use.
