nice piece author...great shapes and colors...IMHO this fish look way natural in your interpretation then original...best of luck

This fish is "Truth is stranger than fiction" type. Saw the original in sbs. I googled to find the name, couldn't. It should be having 1. If anyone here can find it please let me know or message it here. So beautiful. Thanks author for the info.
I appreciate the brilliant colors you gave to the overall image. Love the curves and diagonals. I will add this to my fav.

I am pretty sure they are a type of "Flying Fish" or Exocoetidae ... check it out here and see if you agree http://www.99express.com/2009/06/exocoetidae-flying-fish.html.

Here is a better link with one that looks a lot like yours http://www.sharkfriends.com/wacky/flyingfish.html

Sorry after all that forgot to comment on your image. Great idea to make them smaller but if I am right your poor guys won't be able to fly any more ...their wings are clipped Love your background!

I think every work deserves a comment.. you did what your brain told you to do with the image. The liquifying style looks cool....good luck.

It's too dark overall. The plane looks like it could be jammed in the rocks, or perhaps behind the rocks, or ???
The brown sky with the too dark clouds on the left doesn't help, either.

no more than cut&paste!

Composition could be a lot better

Interesting, but confusing (the text) and too green.

The weird "scratch marks" also show a seam line on the RH side where you flipped the layer.

vintage effect doesnt work!

very very interesting work...love the turned and falling cups idea...best of luck author

nicely done.., goo luck author

Congrats!!

congratulations...

Great concept.
A bit too purple overall, and the bottom planet needs to be better illuminated to match the lighting on top of the "ships," since they are not angled downwards to show such a well lit top surface.

thank you, tried to put more light on the planet. Also darkend the surface of the ship slightly. I hope it matches better, now. I know about the purple, but on their test ride they found this whole new galaxy, it's the purple quadrant.

Oh wow.. very clever use of source! And an excellent space scene too Good luck.

Nice job! I like the shadow being casted on the lower ship from the upper one.

very nice editing

you planets are way too black!! you need a gardient mask!

U did really good job here author...IMHO maybe u could create some variations of the space ships to avoid pure repetition...Whole concept is very nice and purple feel is great IMO...best of luck

Very nice idea and concept. I'm not sure about the purple lines around the planets tho.

thank you alll for your nice comments!
@ Akassa: I did that on purpose, it's supposed to be atmosphere.

Nice ..

Very nice, I like the stars and how the sparkle = )

I love space scenes....you used the source image real well here....good luck..

Fun work! Great Spacescape!

I'm fan of sci-fi.... i like the job.. Good luck
