Believe it or not, MS Paint ain't gonna cut it all, thus PS6 came to the rescue.
This came out after long months of occasional few minutes of work.

Looks great man, very nice work. I like the colors and the small highlights on the objects, nice!

BTW, does anyone know how to make a big gradient circle without those buggy rings that you can see in top left corner (the sun flare effect) ?

The more I look at it the more it's p#%&ing me off

The way it is done in the picture is very simply with a huge white brush, 0 hardness and like 5-10% opacity... which works fine for most areas that are supposed to shine, but once you make your brush bigger than a certain size, it makes those annoying eye-stabbing rings.

You could use the Clone Stamp, clone from the center out?
Hope you get what I mean

Or create a new layer, elliptical fill with color of choice.
Then you could use, one of the Blur filters.

Just a idea

Maybe after you apply the brush, flatten the layer (or merge it with a blank layer) and then hit it with Gaussian blur. That should fuzz-out the rings, depending on what blur-strength you apply.
