Description
I present to you Affluence, my personally favorite work. At first it started as practice on making inhabited planets more realistic, then I experimented with gas planets and so on until I had made this. Let me tell you, this was no easy task. I had few tutorials in helping me with this, and the ones I did use were not all that great. Most of this is self-learned, particularly the gas giants. I played around with some practice "sketches" and came up with my masterpiece; all in all a great weekend.

And although I'm a bit late, November 7 was the first annual Carl Sagan Day, so I dedicate this piece to that great man of science who brought the mysteries and wonders of the Cosmos to the common man and has inspired me personally to work towards becoming a cosmologist.
