___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
hello again! its been a while since i've uploaded anything sci-fi and space related, huh? well i'm back and i brought you guys this one, spent about a week on it because of school and what not. i call it enigma because it has that mysterious feel to it which i like. also, this is probably the first time i'm doing a space scape like this. the only other one i did thats close to this one is spire. but i think i'll do a few more of these in the future. as i always say, comments, critiques and favs are welcomed and appreciated. this will also be available as a print and in the near future, i may release a wallpaper pack to!

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?
CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.
CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.
CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.
Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

First off I suggest everyone look at this wonderful piece by clicking the download image button. Only then can you see the true scope and detail of it all. It doesn't seem like it from the preview, but its highly detailed and has many great aspect to it. Your lighting is spot on, that was the first thing that drew my into this piece, you really know how to give the right lighting effect to the object around the light source. I especially love the small shooting stars, I think it would be nice if you added a few more and mixed up the overall star brightness. Besides the two stars at the bottom they are pretty much the same in the rest of the piece. Overall this is a beautiful and well put together piece. Well done!

thank you for writing this critique.
and your right, the stars can be a bit more varied which is something that i've been trying to accomplish in my more recent works. other than that, i'm glad you like the scene!

You're very welcome, this would be perfect as a wallpaper. Im guessing you made it big for that reason?
π: 0 β©: 1
actually i made it big because thats usually the size i work with. also, the bigger the image, the more detail that can be fit into smaller elements within it. and like i said in the image description, i'll be making a wallpaper pack soon too!

It really is just a lovely peice of work, I have two things I think could be improved. The rings just kind of....stop. It looks like you tried to make it fade off, which is lovely, but it immedietly cuts to the faded ring. I would make it a slow fade instead of a cut off. Speaking of the area around the rings, that brings me to my second idea. There is a second perfectly straight light flare right through the faded ring, which I think looks strange. I don't know your intention, so if everything I'm saying was on purpose, then YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB! I really hope this doesn't offend you in any way, or make you feel like your work is not good, because it is amazing. Wonderful art, and I hope I could help!

thank you for writing this critique! i fixed the errors you had pointed out in the image and reuploaded it to deviantart. so thank you.
i will say that the elements you pointed out were intentional, but you are not completely wrong in bringing them up. i'll start with the line from the flare, i wanted to leave it in because for some reason, it felt like it fit in. but it came out too bright and i forgot to fix that, so i went back and fixed it.
as for the rings, it was also intentional, but they did cut off too sharpely as you mentioned, so i went back and smoothed them out somewhat.
so again, thank you.

This makes me keep thinking back to the mounting discovery made mid to late last year that almost every star in the universe has at least one planet around it, thank you for taking the time to make this.

I very much like the use of the glare/light on one corner and the shadow cast upon the rings on the corner opposite. I've just set it as my desktop background and it works great with icons grouped to the right and top.
I'm guessing there's a story to account for the rings not being aligned with the rotation as suggested by the surface clouds -- or in the plane of the moons for that matter.

thanks, glad you like it!
also, my story to why the rings aren't perfect:
creating a polar view of a gas giant is difficult in photoshop and the image is sci-fi.
π: 0 β©: 1
Reason enough!
You're far from alone. For some reason you see images/movies of moons not in the plane of rotation along with rings a lot, even though the rings/rotation/moons all have to be in a plane to create rings in the first place.
I guess they just look cooler that way. The difference in the rings and the moons does make your moons stand out nicely -- they'd be almost hidden if they were in the same plane as the rings.

well, thats sci-fi for ya! its always trying to be different from reality, even if its just a little bit off from the normal!
