Entry in the Your Daily / BP Challenge Extras #03 theme on BudgetPixel.

**UNSUBMITTED ENTRIES** 3/3 ----- BP Challenge: **City in a Bottle** *Placed 25/57 in below link:* https://budgetpixel.com/p/88750 ----- This was my final submission theme. The previous subtheme's sun might be too overwhelming and my previous infinity world a little hard to understand so I dialed down for a stormy energy source with a Dyson ring system. Sub Theme: Containing a world within a bottle with Dyson rings around a stormy energy cloud.

well, as always, you can't know if this one would have done better. Most of the times I am unsure about such things. I only know what I, personaly, like better.

EternaSky

yea it was what i wanted to submit if not what I submitted. I thought the unique glass bottle shape was nicer... I guessed wrong.
