Symmetry

This one took... forever. I lost count of the hours (and layers) somewhere. It's technically still a WIP, but the person who requested it asked that I not post the finished version because it's related to an as of yet unfinished project. It's only missing a few details that don't affect too much, so eh, here it is.

It's less. . . shiny than my previous stuff, but more detailed. I started experimenting with different ways to make planet textures, and I think I came up with a method I like. More time consuming, but I think I got closer to the realistic look I was working for. . . Thoughts?

Photoshop CS3, too many hours and layers
