Wow. Definitely a nostalgia kick with this little faux game promo mockup, the first of my own personal 'photoart' that I'll be uploading to Weasyl. It's a little outlet for my creativity that I've been pursuing for a good six months now and this is my most recent creation, there are many more to be transferred over and uploaded, and I really hope you enjoy them all.

This one harks back to the space flight sims of yesteryear (props to anyone who recognises the heavy hints towards a particular game in the background fluff above and names it!), with this, perhaps my most elaborate creation so far. No, it hasn't been ripped from a game, this has all been created using free stock imagery and brushes along with manipulated snapshots of the face/shoulders of the Second Life avatar versions of my fursona and two of my characters and the cockpit 1st person view of a SL fighter that I own, put together in Photoshop and artistic filters applied, mostly to give it a retro pixelated look. Fluff text also added by myself, and hope you enjoy this themed piece!
