Galaxy from above

Done at IMC, and I have NO CLUE the steps I took to make this I just thought of doing a painting of space, thought it would be really neat, and then started. I knwo a sponge was used, but I don't remember how it started.
Even with that, I like the turn out, the others were impressed too, because they didn't think of doing space at all It was fun, only one who thought it up (but their art and watercolor paintings were -much- better then mine though, awesome artists)
