With thanks to icepixie for the idea - I've been working on this ever since we talked about the Art Nouveau influences of the visual style on B5.

So pretty! I have no artistic ability whatsoever, so I'm insanely jealous :P But this is just wonderful. There are so many little details that I must confess I had to go back and look at it again after I'd read everyone else's comments. But it's perfect in that, though, because that's part of what makes B5 special - all the little details that maybe you have to go back a few times to catch. So it fits. Great job.

Awww, thank you! I'm very glad you like it. I had a lot of fun doing it (although my back will be very happy to have a break from hovering over the laptop late at night, now that I'm done!). The details like the staff and the ship came out of the fact that I was basing the general look of the piece on art by Mucha, who tends to have borders filled with symmetrical or repeated images of stylized flowers and so on. Flowers don't really work for B5, so I had to come up with something else... and the cruisers and staff seemed like the most thematically-appropriate thing available. Plus, the ships were really fun to draw!
