As good as it gets!
I really have no idea what it is exactly that you are trying to show off in this image, but I do know that it's wonderful! This is so gorgeous if it were a woman I'd marry it! I just love how there's so many things going on in this picture. It seems like the kind of thing you would see on a movie poster. Movies with posters like that never turn out to be that good anyway. This seems more like something that would be on the Evangelion poster. I love how there's something going off in the background.
I'm guessing it might be a shooting star or perhaps some shooting piece of space dust. You have a wonderful description too. It's stuff like this makes me think there will never be a need for a literature portal. You have made so many of these great submissions, you should make a cartoon like this. There is simply so much potential for such a fantastic story that can be brought out in a single image. It looks like some giant beetle.
