Looks like a hovering space ship on the cover of some retro sci fi book cover.

I love the texture in this piece! Is that the Atari logo I see in the handle of the controller?

Hey r2! Funny you should ask. I flipped it upside down just for fun and liked it better. Everything all of a sudden made more sense. The word "top" was at the top (haha), the wire was now hanging, and I immediately noticed the handle! So I accentuated it just a little more, but not too much. GOOD CALL! It was more like a (not totally recognizable) homage than anything else. The textures are the outcome of me being completely overwhelmed with the infinite tweakability of the 900 brushes Painter has to offer. I had NO idea what I was doing. Still have a LOT of learning to do. but I do like how the containment of the joystick has the rough texture, just like the real thing. For whatever reason, I can't get enough of the Joystick as an icon. I think it's perfect. And there is literally NO joystick art out there. Gotta make more! Thanks for the likey! : )
