Cosmic Anomalies

So upon completing my last image, a friend began bugging me about why i don't have other "astronomy art" ... And the truth is that I feel like it is a bit overdone, and not a lot of it really contains anything different or original, anymore. However, the fact that I haven't even really tried it leaves me with no excuse because I do try to make a point to try new things and to extend my experience with art... So this one's for you, Chris.

Cosmic anomalies frequently characterize a lot of dreams (and nightmares) I have. It's strange, really, because to this day I have never had a dream in which I can recall dying, but the entire world frequently ends in several of them, (probably due to my affinity for post-apocalyptic fiction. )

In addition to seeking out a tutorial for planets, I used a few star brushes and a fractal that I generated to make this a bit easier.
