Um, whaddaya mean? the big screen? Actually, both of the bigger screens are lit from behind by ranged lights. Otherwise they would be too dark. Yeah, the overall lighting is bothering me. I'd tone down the ambient light much more, but people who asked for the image wanted something from Star Trek, and I came with this as a compromise. This is supposed to be the illustration for Vernor Vinge's Deepness in the Sky. The only one that shows an arachnid, as far as I know. :-) Everybody else made spaceships.
