Wow, Angel, those are fantastic. What did you use for all the metalwork?

I would LOVE to see one of those with a laser out into it. Awesome stuff.

I certainly don't know this stuff like Angel does...but I would tend to agree with him...

Yeah, it looks a little too saturated...the greens...

But wow! How do you take a crappy screen cap like that and turn it into what you have? specifically how did you sharpen the image? Did you simply use the sharpening tool?

Great stuff!

Actually, I repainted the entire thing, except for the foreground trees, where I painted one and pasted it for speed. Trust me, there is no sharpening tool in the world that can do that. I repainted the Star Trek logo, too, but that was very easy in comparison. Regarding the greens, unfortunately scaling it down into a jpeg changes the way it looks. Bear in mind that the original image is over eight times larger, and the greens are far more varied at that level; you can even see blades of grass under the trees. It's too bad that you can't see all the detail at this level.

Thanks for the feedback!
