    Basically until your comment I was in the belief that "bacon" or "beacon" is the same like the logic of "color" or "colour" in English, that in America and England have their different form, but the meaning is the same. But okay seeing in the dictionary beacon is that space equipment which is giving radio signs or something.

    Even that sounded logical that this extruded object is so universal, that Gare named it as space bacon Meaning that space "something", and everybody can think into it anything.

    Well Stygg, maybe you are right, I am really creative, just did not perceive it (thanks my friend for your encourage and motivation in the other XaraXone thread too, I did not want to be more off topic there, but really thanks, I like that you are always humble and positive together)

    It looks like a planet wrapped in lawn turf.
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    @stygg—

    Because the beacon at top right is illuminated from top left, I'd have lit the planet from top left and not top right, but it's your universe, stygg. :)

    Seriously, who can really tell where all the light sources come from in space which is filled with stars, points of illumination? Your composition looks more dimensional now, two thumbs up.

    @csehz—that is an amazing composition! The semi-transparency is fun, isn't it?

    My Best,

    Gary

    It's so easy to change Heaven and Earth in Xara

    Cheers for that Gary.

    Yeah. You use Xara enough and you begin to develop powers henceforth only found in the Realm of Asgard.

    Now, where's the Gallery I can use to fix the US economy?

    Last one in the Bots saga, I promise I've enjoyed and had fun doing these though.

    So finally they landed on that green but so poisoning looking planet

    I like the composition, also you made the objects transparent, that green fluid something really looks real

    Yep they landed csehz and got a shock when they landed in an ocean of toxic chemicals. I put my foot in that stuff once and my shoe caught fire and melted If you want the xar file for the "green fluid stuff" and sky so you can pull it apart, I'll upload it for you.

    Stygg thanks in advance, yes sure would be interested in, as I count on a dark green rectangle maybe two surface with fractal transparency with different colours, plus maybe a slight linear transparency, that would be the toxic fluid :-) But of course that is just a tip
