My piece 'Creation' was posted on Coast to Coast am. It's their Photo of the Day!
Updates
C R E A T I O N
Here is the latest piece, its titled C R E A T I O N. It's a gas cloud creating Planets & Stars.
Nebula was created with pictures I took of storm clouds above my house on 3/23/11. That storm also produced hail which added a nice effect to the picture if you look close I caught some of them falling from the sky and they look like asteroids floating through space.
Luckily I didn't get smacked in the face while trying to get the pictures
I still wanna add rings to the main planet but every tutorial I find for rings don't look as good as I would like. So if anyone knows of a good tut where I can learn to make rings like this [link] or this [link] would be awesome and will reward with a llama on Deviant Art.

Pandora
This piece is titled Pandora, inspired by the game Borderlands. It is a desert planet which is my best textured planet to date.

Site is done
For the most part the site is finished, now to fill it with more content. Keep checking the site cause I recently found some new techniques I want to try out. Can't wait to see what I can come up with, I some ideas that might turn out pretty cool.
Gallery Updated
Just finished the gallery. All the pages are linked and have their content, but more to come once I finish a few more things. Then I'll start some new pieces and make sure I get all of the current ones on RedBubble.com
If you do purchase any of my artwork I highly recommend you do it through Red Bubble. I'm going to be lowering the prices here as soon as I get all of this web site stuff finished, which will be very soon.
Peace

Name Example's
These are the top two that I've been able to come up with so far. I'm still not completely in love with either of them. If I don't use them for the site title I could possibly use them as a title for a future piece (so don't steal them lol)
A little background on how I came up with Solenity.
Sol = Sun + Serenity - Ser = Solenity
I keep trying to think of something a little more.... I dunno, Epic!
Anyway, let me know what you think and I'll keep racking my brain to try and think of something better.
Name Idea's?
Don't know if anyone is actually reading this yet, but if there is I was thinking about trying to come up with a new name. I only used "The Hybrid Effect" cause it was my Deviant Art account name. But I would like to come up with something better. Something that has a spacey/sci-fi theme to it, I would like to keep it short and sweet though. If you have any good ideas leave a comment and tell me what you think.
P.S. Working on the art pages now, have one done so far click here to check it out. Hopefully by tomorrow things will be wrapping up so I can get back to making some new pieces.
Almost There
After working on this for about 3 days I almost have all the kinks worked out. Its almost how I wanted it. Would have preferred to have these post show up directly on the front page but I'm not good enough of a coder to figure out how to do that. I just stare at the code trying to comprehend it but it just makes my brain hurt :P. Anyway off to go get this thing lookin good.
