On the other hand, this is an homage to Jaime and Gilles too (see their image "Reach for the stars" http://www.oyonale.com/iss/english/index.htm). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: For this one, my goal was to make something "interesting" by using minimal resources : An isosurface as desert, a sky sphere, some meshes for the starfield, a biplane found on the web, a poser boy, a smoke trail based on the Rune's particle macro, lights (theatre style), that's it. PS: Sorry for the bad gradient of the sky sphere due to the jpg compression. A png version is downloadable (prince.zip).
