Sometimes it takes more than a cloud to make it blurry... this could be the base of manipulating the colorful matter so well, it becomes a nebula.
In the first chapter I started to add some color (didn't quite smudge too much of it) to the piece and not only that, but cloud bases too.
Right now I tried to add some texture to the clouds, made it good, but not so satisfying. I was expecting more. I guess it's due to the lack of inspiration that I had...

Soon I'll try to refine things a little bit.. I can't promise you that this piece will look any like this in the end.. it has something missing: depth. That's my major defect in this... but I'll get by.
