Nice work, but I have 2 nitpicks:

1) The exaggerated angle is a good idea, but IMHO it's a bit too exaggerated.

2) Use JPG compression!!! There is absolutely NO REASON for that picture to be over half a meg! You can get decent quality from a JPG at around 100kb for that image size, and if you must keep the quality excellent then use PNG, as it is a lossless format.

I like it, including the camera angle, but that halo should be over the Lucifer, not under it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) Nice job, though!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Yes, but he meant you should compress it a bit more.

Yes.

EDIT: I just saved it to disk and opened it up in PSP7. With a setting of 36, the JPG optimizer brought it down to 81kb or so with a very small loss of quality. A value of 10 gave no noticiable quality loss at all for 168kb.
