Sometimes I Wish I Were The Moon

This is the one I've been working on for forever. I'm pretty damned proud of it. The only thing I didn't do myself were the stars, which are a stock from the amazing `sambees.

I used a different technique than usual for the shading and highlights; I used an individual layer for shadows and for highlights like usual but instead of changing the opacity of the brush I changed the opacity of the layer and just used full on white and black. It worked out really well. Then I also used a Gaussian blur to smooth them out a bit; the highlights moreso than the shadows.

I may or may not come back to this one and do realistic coloring for Chell and the cube.

The name comes from a game I played once (based on a short story); and it felt appropriate.
