Great scene and excellent presentation!

Great Traveller inspired image. Your repurposing of the various props lends a unique interpretation to their geometries. The LARVA suit (definitely cool!) is a perfect fit for the role you've described and your overall presentation and formatting really makes the whole thing shine. Nice!

You have a great eye - this is very well done. The objects and figures are placed perfectly to draw the eye through the scene. The postwork truly enhances without overwhelming the original render.
