Very nice :)

Congrats, it's deserved!

Very nice 

A very solid contender for first place ;)

 REALLY nicely done.

 At first I was like " oh no! dudes heads turned into sand", but I knew exactly what it was meant to portray as I had a similar idea which I didn't feel comfortable trying.

Well done

Who says he isn't on drugs? :p I'm not sure, I might like that explanation better.

i think the dithering is overdone on the helmet, and i agree with the below comments

cool stuff though

:3 Nice.

I think, however, this could be improved by adding some yellowish reflections to the suit itself. I reckon that if you did this it would look more like he's actually staring at the vortex rather than the vision of an astronaut on drugs, as Peach put it :P

well done. congrats.

Apart from the fact that it seems more like an astronauts on drugs than a sunlight :)

Awesome stuff! +++

 Incredible what you did with that palette. Got my vote.

Great! :)

Beautifulle done! 

We have a winner ;)

I think it's the best too ;)

Good luck for this challenge!

HOLY SCHITT!! This is beyond impressive! I am simply dumbstruck by this piece. I hope for you the best in the challenge!

Keep it up dude
