i was just sitting in this cafe minding my own business and watching the world go by when suddenly these huge meteorites are filling the sky right? and one sails right over my head and flies out to sea and smashes into the ocean about 40 miles out from the shore. And then like half a minute later this wall of water hits the bay and everyone got swept away, and i was like 'Led Zepplin ruuuulllleeeee'...

Thank goodness thats done! this one seemed to take forever to get right, especially that bloody meteor trail! quite a marathon, but im happy with the final piece, got the sense of depth and scale that i was after which is always nice, and got a chance to give my incredibly rusty planet making skills a dust off. So yeah, all in all very pleased hope you guys like it as much as i do...
