[Quickie] The Cosmic Crab

Even with all the advanced technology in the Azure Wheel Galaxy, it is still considered a death sentence to venture into the sea of black nothingness beyond the galaxy.
Because if this, the citizens of the Azure Wheel Galaxy know little about the universe beyond their galaxy.  Many cultures have made up myths and legends about what could exist in other places.

For example, the Uhamera legends tell of the entire universe sitting on the back of a massive crab.

This picture was done in... maybe 15-20 minutes tops.
It began as a doodle on a napkin at a sushi restaurant.  When I got home, I decided to scan it in, give it a quick inking and a splash of color.

The universe photo used in the picture is a stock photo from NASA.  I added a few stars and galaxies to make it look more 'universe-like'.  >_<

Is it sad that all I can think of is cosmic crab legs with garlic aioli?
(Crab is one of my favorite foods... and I was eating crab sushi at the time I scribbled it.)
