Expanding Time

Hi there!

I wasn't into Space Art for awhile. But the Distance Starfields Contest was the opportunity to correct that. So here is my entry.
Experimenting with clouds, fractals and painting over, I finally get it done after 3 weeks of work.
Clouds was used to get a first nebulae shape. Details and the nebulae's edges was painted. The left side (green part) was made with fractals.

Thanks Hameed for this asteroids stock and LJFHutch for the smoke brushes.
Fractals were from Apophysis.
All other resources/textures were from my own stock.

Done in GIMP.

Hope you enjoy it. Any comments and favs are appreciated.
