My goodness... That's incredible. Please, if I may ask: how much reference material do you use? I mean, I wouldn't think that you painted this out of the top of your hear... right? The amount of detail is astounding. You also conveyed the feeling of 'not wanting to be on Mercury, because of the heat' well.
