cool man

Can you give us any background as to what this is?

Well...there is no particular story behind this guy, but the design is an homage to the golden age of si-fi (ie. Flash Gordon and such) with the rounded dome-like helmets, guages with dials everywhere. The cosmonaut is just admiring the scenery and contemplating...

The figure was a small pencil sketch in my sketchbook which I scanned and painted in Painter then onto Photoshop for some post work like masking and selections and adding the starfield.

yeh baby....Another traditional guy. I like it. The very first quick look I couldn't tell which way he was facing, it only took a second to get it though. Perhaps you could make a touch of his visor/ viewport/window on his helmet visible so it would read a bit better.:)
