The gallery has pictures I have created with Adobe Photoshop as well as scanned images of works I have drawn. Some are based on what I have seen in my dreams, some are my own drawings of anime characters, and some are just the creations of my imagination. Go ahead and take a look, but please ask me for permission if you want to use one for your own purposes.
I have also made desktop images and AIM icons which you can download, so check them out!

So it was thought that maybe there was a heavy stellar way out beyond the fringes of the solar system with a gravitational influence great enough to hurtle large chunks of ice and rock out of the distant Oort Cloud towards the inner planets. Over time, this mystery mass became known as Nemesis.
Personally, I believe this 80's theory may still hold merit. If Nemesis were a regular star, I think we would have spotted it by now because of how bright it would be. If it were a black hole or neutron star, it would probably cause too great a gravitational disturbance in our solar system. Thus, it would make sense that Nemesis might be a brown dwarf, a huge gas giant that almost reached the point of nuclear fusion to become a star, but didn't. Therefore it would have the necessary mass but still be dim enough to explain why it hasn't been found.
At any rate, such thoughts inspired me to create this piece of artwork.

In my vision, a projectile was hurtled out of the planet's atmosphere, dragging some of the various gases with it. Then once in orbit, it detonated and illuminated everything in close proximity.
