Okay, I really re-worked this puppy:

- It's a lot more abstract. I pulled the rockets.

- I used spiro splines to make the rocket trails

- I did a lot of gimping to texturize and glow the wallpaper.

Some inspiration I drew from:

The concept behind this, is there's 3 different rockets that have flown
in swirls and they're meeting together out in the distance of space.

What do you think? I know it's dark but... it is space-y :)
