That one is a bit complicated to review because basically it is very creative. The story is great. I wished I had your creative imagination to invent and destroy an whole solar system. The picture dos not quite catch up to the story. I may be wrong, but I do see some errors in the picture; but its only technical stuff you could correct easily. I hope you saved the layers. I think her head is to small and her bubs are to big. I think the whole head should be enlarged in relation to his head, but otherwise just left as it is. I really like her face. If the head is the only paint on the layer it should be possible to enlarge with the program. Just take the layer and change size about +25%.
[I am running out of time...I Have to work tonight. I finish the review tomorrow]

thanks Cleo as always. I didn't know that you could enlarge just one layer, it's amazing how much your teaching me. I knew this painting was a bit too lame and most of the work was way off, it was a for fun piece. I had just gotten out of the hsopital and wanted to just play around. the story I came up with after the painting and wrote it at 6:00am after being up all night, that's where the weird names came from LOL.
I do aprecioate your reviews they always mean so much.
thanks for the info on enlarging a layer.
thanks again cleo as always

You were in the hospital again? Sorry to hear that. I hope you fell better now.
Thank you for your kind reply. Can't try the 6:00 am trick - that's when i work the dog and try to catch the sunrise with the camera. Darn.
There are a couple other things. I believe the yellow above the planet(?) is a bit to much. It takes over, do to the bright color and covers almost entirely the planet beneath. Is that an explosion? If so you may consider to take the the all the yellow of and paint a small meteor hit instead. A small thing hitting the planet like an water drop a surface. There is a photo in my portfolio called The Negative Effect. Have a look at it, it nay helps for the explosion pattern. Remember, keep the explosion small and in a more quite color because it isn't the main subject. The meteor has to hit from the left since the meteor shower is coming in from left.
I also believe that two planets [one being hit and one a fire] is a bit much. The alien couple dos not get the attention they deserve with all that stuff around. May you take one of the planets away. There would be also the possibility to take the planet in thew left upper corner out and transfer the second planet from the left lower corner to the left upper. That would level the weight in the picture.
The aliens remind a bit of Avatar. The blue colors of them is excellent. Much better than the by Hollywood and co, overused green. His legs a may a bit thin, somehow reminding of Satyr, but on the other hand that may is just as alien guys are. I wouldn't change anything there. I hope you don't mine all my criticism. I think your story; truth it could use some polish, is exquisite and deserve an exquisite picture.
Have a nice Sunday.

Always your welcome; but take not everything I say for granted. I am human. I could be wrong.
Have a nice Sunday.

Seriously,I can understand your need to blow things up.A great stress reliever.
However,I can't give you a five star rating because I know that you are very capable of doing so much better than this.
I do have issues with the painting itself.The upper left "explosion" is way too distracting and is the first thing that the eyes go to.I believe a smaller explosion on the "planet" that you put in that corner would really suffice.The meteor shower,the stars and the gases in the sky are alright.
The aliens,hmmm,she is a bit top heavy and his legs look like they belong to an animal.I do like the faces on both though.And I do like that they are blue rather than green!
I know that you did this while not at home so please don't think that I am picking on you sister!
Just saying how I feel.
Angelheart :)
