Colors took forever, though by my standards/expectations 3 or 4 days is an eternity...
A lot of it was done from scratch except the top most earth like planet and the mountainy/forrestly background in the uppermost rectangle. Those two bits were recycled from other pieces when I realized they would fit just fine here in this piece.
