I started by painting a white base level of what was to come on a background of splattered stars. A fiery nebula forming on the frame Then adding layers of blue to deepen the shadows and bring out the true color. You can see how the nebula is becoming more out there. Here i'm adding starbursts over the blue cloudforms.

Checking the noozzle freqeuntly for clogs. More hand painted astral bodies.. The added white highlights and stars transform a blue blob into a space odyssey! Front and rear fenders with the white highlights added. "Will I sleep dave?"
