I think this will be pretty sweet. The composition is a bit in between centered / off centered... it needs to commit to one. Check out the cropping under use: <a class="url" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds</a>It feels a bit flat, I think having some dark rocks really close to camera, and making the further away mountains closer to the color of the atmosphere might help sell the depth. Is the spaceship supposed to be huge or almost like the size of an suv? The scale seems small with the human so big, but not sure what you are going for. Keep going!

4.24.13 PREPPING FILES
I did a project a year or so ago in C4D, animating a rocket into space, blasting things &amp; resolving with a triangle in space. It was .. okay.
Anyway, after seeing Oblivion this past weekend, I thought I would re-visit this project &amp; re-do it in Illustrator &amp; After Effects, keeping it 2D. This is the first frame.

Any idea's/comments/suggestions, right off the bat would certainly be appreciated. Still trying to figure out the next stage &amp; how to get there &amp; how it looks. Thanks!
