i liked lou's planet so i tried to do something like it. the lighthouse is really crappy, didnt spend 5 minutes on it really, but its warning about a minefield. apparently, one ship couldnt read.

Wow, Nice design there Hurricane. I love your colors Lou, good rendering. I wish you had thrown some kind of background on yours Olsen, the stark white makes it hard for me see the rendered areas.

Not that my background is doing much better... stars and celestial bodies are something I needs to address.

I had more fun with the planet!:D

Not quite a "light-house," but it's "something to help guide ships to dock."

A lot of dope designs here, I wonder if nBT's idea would really work? Something along the lines of Hand's or Yiako's design seems the most practical. Hand's for compact design (and sweet effects), and Yiako's for looking like something in the sky that doesn't exactly resemble another star... Enjoy seeing all the work.

Here's mine, I'm a day behind on these, and playing catch up... This is about 3 hours of work on this one, inks, marker shades, and "mousing" for color.
