I'm not well known on PJ by any measure, (Nor am I a brilliant pixeler,) but honestly, this story brang a tear to my eye and this astounding peice brang it to life perfectly.  The sky is awesome and the whole peice has a great nostalgic tone. My mind is officially blown. I one day aspire to be half as creative and talented as you, fool, welcome back.

Thanks a lot for the CC guys, wasn't expecting such a nice reception! :) when I get some spare time (as most of it is taken up by schoolwork business) Imma carry on with it, fix a few things like you said,and -possibly- submit it :)

thanks again!
