That's pretty tight. I've always wanted to learn to model and render things on the computer. One of these days.

That is a from a Luis Royo Sketch.
I like to try and put stuff like that in the nebulas i make to use as backgrounds.

There are some pretty cheep entry level rendering programs on the market.
really inexpensive but really really powerful.
Like Carrera and trueSpace even the new versions of Bryce.
Or if you ever go into Borders or Barnes & Noble.
Keep an eye on the graphics mags. They sometimes have older versions of software that they give away for free.
