    Post Another Stab at a Galaxy

    Stars! I need more stars!

    I started this as a "Clear My Mind" exercise several hours ago.

    It wasn't until just several minutes ago that I saw Andartar's Eohl Galactic Chart--that is truly an amazing piece of work. Alas, mine is not.

    But I figured that I'd post it anyway in the hopes of receiving any feedback from the community. Be gentle, please.

    Artsy and pretty cool. I'd only make two changes at this point. The one area that looks very much like a chunk just to the right of center...I'd erase some stars there to reduce the shape-iness of that part. And then I'd just add a faint outer glow around the stars to give them a halo effect.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
