I know they're all going to be great!!!Heh... on one hand, I hope so. On the other hand, I want a better chance of winning. >_<; I am really curious to see the turn-out though.
Well... I handled my time very poorly, and didn't get much done. My idea just didn't work, so I made it very very simple and just did the 3 planets + satellite + logo. Actually, a LOT of work went into this when added up. 1/3rd manually cutting the edges of the Guardian Colony, 1/3rd spending time rearranging layers until I realized I couldn't fit in character artwork on top. 1/3rd copying, cutting, and rotating the starry planet backgrounds to fill in all the empty spaces. T_T; Oh, I also copied the odd loops around that one planet since they were chopped off at each end. So many tiny details that just stick out and look horrible if you don't attend to them.
I should release the Guardian Colony image separate so other people can use it. had to delete all the tiny spaceships around the base because it's just too much work to cut them out of the gradiant light of the planet in the background. the ones that were in front of the colony stayed obviously.
With my remaining time, I'll see what else I can manage. See if I can pull out my previous idea, or the impossible new idea, or a quick drawing. *sigh* I'm totally gonna pig out and play video games and read comics for the rest of the day. (even though I dicked around reading webcomics for most of my time today instead of being hard at work)
