Interstellar Wilt - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I originally made this for a friend some time ago. Alas, she hasn't posted here or even visited in quite awhile and I don't think she'll be back. In any case I thought the rest of y'all might get some enjoyment out of the pic, so here it is:

This is the original bitmap file, slightly reduced in size so that my Photobucket account would take it without complaining. I had converted it to a JPEG file to reduce the filesize but for some reason red tends to come out splotchy when I convert bitmaps to JPEGs. Anyway, here it is, all 800k+ of it. Enjoy.

Ooh, neat looking.

That's a great pic, Cassini! It really made my day...and my day needed some uplift, trust me!

Oooooh, spaaaaace....

Purdy background, very nice. I've always liked space pics. I think I've said that before but, yeah.

Nice job on it, Cass!

Nice fusion job, Cass. Hopefully the originally intended recipient will find her way back to us eventually. I'm sure that she'd love it.

My thanks to all who commented.

The image of Wilt was originally part of the limited edition glicee print that I bought years ago. Extracting him from the background was an interesting experience at the time, considering that I had no idea what I was doing; the "one pixel at a time" method works and produces a nice smooth edge but with an image that size (about 3200 pixels tall) it can be a tad time-consuming. Makes for a very nice desktop pic, too.

Beautiful! Is it the Vela nebula?

At first I thought it was the Tarantula one... seems I'm wrong.

Cassini, that's amazing!!! I bow to your awesomeness.
