Great, thanks for the tip!
I’m not sure how to find someone whose style this would be, mostly because I don’t know what style I want it. The way I described it, it sounds like it would be a super realistic astronomy type style, but it depends. If it’s made to be realistic, it think it should have color, but I kind of lean towards staying black in white. I’m thinking maybe sticking with black and white, but leaving it open to add color later if I decide to. I’m just not sure how it would look in black and white – it might be more suited if it was more of an abstract symbolic type image (if you have any idea what I mean). I think it might work better for fading into my back though. I sort of would like to see this concept in a few different styles (that’s partially why I posted here for help).
Right now I’m thinking something somewhat similar to this, but more realistic:

Or maybe a combination between that and the animation I posted above (the last link), just before it explodes when you can see those explosive firy streams bulging out. Those little streams could be the parts that extend out and fade into my back.
